This review is from: Takamine EG530SSC Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Guitar, Natural*

I have this guitar for about half a year now and it is really good. The sound is full and deep as one would imagine on almost full solid body guitar. The guitar is heavy, which may be caused partly by electronics inside but it's construction feels heavier and a bit more durable than other guitars I compared it to. I have another higher end Japan series Takamine with no electronics and it certainly is better (the wood works a little more on that one, which I am not happy about, otherwise it would be a perfect guitar), but if you don't have the money, this is a way to go. The only flaw I noticed was a bit to high action at the nut, but that was easily adjusted and now it is just great.
