    Default NGD: Tak G406S

    Much as I tried to resist the urge, I've helped myself to, yet another, acoustic; Tak G406S which arrived today. I decided to justify #12 as it is the non-dread, non-jumbo, non-juiced which I don't already have.

    Specs:
    Body Shape: FXC/New Yorker
    Rosette: Abalone
    Top: Solid Spruce
    Inlays: Abalone
    Back: 3-Pc Rosewood / Quilted Maple
    Sides: Rosewood
    Fingerboard: Rosewood
    Tuners: Gold
    Features: Small body. Huge tone. Stunning good looks.

    Note to Robert: I bought it through the forum zZounds link.
    I'll review it after I've had a chance to thoroughly check it out.

    Here's a front/back:


    Here's some hires:

    Wow! Stunning looks!

    Edit: Sorry to be echoing the prepared text - I just saw it ...

    Anyway, it IS beautiful - is that kind of a parlor size?

    Not parlor... it's a 25-1/2" scale length 00-14.

    [For Shiner]
    It's standard 25-1/2" scale length as opposed to a more Gibson-like 24-3/4" scale length.

    It's a Martin 00 sized body with neck joined at the 14th fret, (known in Martin-world as "Grand Concert".)
    (000-14 is known as "Auditorium", 0M-14 is known as "Orchestra Model".)

    I think you're referring to this:



    ...but mine doesn't have that... just abalone diamond inlays.
