4Good guitar for the money  Sep 09, 2008
This instrument is one of the most beautiful instruments I've played. The built-in tuner works well, and it's a well built instrument, very high quality fit and finish. Action is a little high, and there's some fret buzz: but nothing a decent once-over by a good shop can't fix.

My negative point is that I am little disappointed with the acoustic sound. It sounds a little weak compared with my Blueridge BR-160. That's not a big negative - it's not quite a fair comparison because the Blueridge is an absolute cannon. But I was expecting a little more.

In any case, it's a good instrument for the money.

5Very nice guitar  May 12, 2007
I' v had this particular guitar for less than a week, and have already fell in love with it. Plays like a soft dream, cords oh so easy. If your like me, and most people, the "F" cord is a killer, well not on this guitar, it really cords that easy, and makes me look, and sound better. As for the quality, and workmanship, superb. Looks of the guitar is stunning, and that's what initially drew me to this particular model. The sound that resonates is clear, and clean. The onboard tuner is great, and easy to use. Plugged in or not this guitar really sounds great!
If I had to find one thing I don't like about it is the name, it's hard for me to say ;)~
Great value, great sound, stunning to look at, makes the Takamine EG523SC the perfect buy.

4Want a Gibson?...Get a Takamine  Aug 30, 2006
The guitar is playable right out of the box. Action is high but reasonable, but the more you play it the more you like it. This is my first, and I love it. Takamine customer service (via email) is great; they would answer any question you might have. The guitar comes with DAddario EXP16 according to them. I did change them to EPX10 Extra Light Coated 8020 and it is a better player. Next will be a good setup by a professional. Get a humidifier; I got the Planet Waves Acoustic Guitar Humidifier System, plain and simple. Get a case as well, I bought the Takamine case that is very secure and keeps the guitar well. I played a Gibson similar to the Takamine, and no much difference but the price. I put both guitars thru a good amp. With no amp, I experience little difference. The guitar stays in tuned for days once the strings have stretched. The wood grain in the guitar is beautiful, it looks and sounds like a $2000 guitar. Don't let people know. Is a Korean made guitar, which tells you that is good quality. With no more to say. Get one, have fun and play it a lot.
