Hey guys,
i currently own a takamine eg540sc and a martin DM, which i'm in the process of selling and i'm in the market for a nice dreadnaught cutaway: i liked a takamine and a couple of Ibanez guitars that I saw
The Ibanez's are prettier, but I really don't know much about them, whereas I love the built in tuner on the Tak. I do already have a guitar in the takamine G-series though, so maybe i should mix it up... arghhh! what do you guys think? do you know of any other good options (preferably along the same price/style/guitar color lines - so like around 500 bucks/dreadnaught cutaway acoustic electric/brownish, reddish in color)? Please help me out much appreciated
i don't know much about ibanez either. but the 200 specs say's its got great pickups. i have a takamine fp six string and a g series 12. i'm not a huge fan of their g series in general the 12 is good but as far ts their six's not my fav. i'd go with the 200, especially to spice up your collection a little
Have you considered the Taylor Big Baby or the 100 series guitar? The 100 series is highly affordable, and you can order it with a pickup system as well...I'm fairly confident you can't get a cutaway with it though...
Another model a friend of mine owns is a Takamine 334sc Its a good guitar has a cutaway and decent electronics in it...so that's another option as well...

because for that much, my Tak sounded better than the Martins I played for that range. The $2000+ Martins and Taylors are the only ones worth buying IMO.
much appreciated
I laughed. I just don't like Tacomas that much, that's all.
