Got my new guitar today!!
Got my new guitar today!!
I'm beyond excited!! I've been waiting for this for weeks (and needing it for years)...but i finally took the plunge and upgraded my old guitar (which will always have a spot in my heart and on my wall)...anyways, as i'm sure you're all wondering, i bought a Takamine EGS-430SC. It had just the sound i was looking for (mellow and deep) and sounded stellar when i plugged it in! Anyways, here's a pic and let me know what you think

im wondering about nato too... im not thinking its a top quality wood because that doesnt seem to be one of their high end models.. that is unless all their guitars are laminates..

First of all, its a HUGE cutaway, goes all the way to the 20th fret 
Second of all, its a solid top, and the guy at the store i bought mine from said that "nato is like a new type of wood for guitars, and it gives it a unique voice." Unique as in shitty or unique as in good, im still not sure, it kinda sounds just like a normal electric accoustic, cept it has a brighter sort of tone
