2007 Takamine EG128SC Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Classical Guitar

It looks good, it sounds good, it plugs in, it's solid cedar top, and it's inexpensive -- there's not much to argue with when it comes to this particular guitar. I like that Selmer-Mac-looking cutaway shape, too.

The neck is very traditional with a 2" nut width, flat board, and medium-heft, D-profile back to it. For classical folks, it'll be home base. The sound of this guy acoustic is a bit flamenco-like -- clean and with good midrange and a not-boomy bass response.

So -- a lightly-used, functional instrument. I just had to set it up and adjust the saddle seating to get the piezo to sound even when plugged-in and then it was right up and onto the racks in the shop.

Repairs included: setup and adjustments.
