    Default Just ordered a Takamine

    As you might remember I won a nice gift certificate with making 3rd placei n a song competition.

    Part of the money I have invested today in a Takamine EG 360 in sunburst. Don't know but it had that Robert Johnson look *lol* and I am really in need of an electro acoustic guitar for my future plans with the mobile kids event music theater.

    I wish you joy of it Jimi. It looks like a fine instrument. A friend of mine has a Takamine [not the same model as yours] which I love playing. The sound is rich and full and exactly what you'd want from an acoustic.

    I love that sunburst you chose, Jimi!:
    And I'm thinking if the guitar doesn't have the RJ mojo when you receive it, it will have shortly after your fingers connect with it...
    Congratulations, looks like a very beautiful guitar!

    It's purdy alright! Takamine are fine instruments, you'll have fun with that one.

    Very nice, Jimi...solid spruce top, rosewood b/s...great dread material : . Taks have great preamps/pickups, so this will be a player I think you'll be very pleased with. Best of luck! Looking forward to your 'review' after you get it...
