Takamine EF360S and EF450 Acoustic Guitar Review

[@alecfleming373]

I have always loved the harmonics of this brand! The ring of the voices on those guitars is just impressive!

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

I have an EF360s I bought brand new about 40 years ago. It's like new. I set it up so that it plays really nicely... everyone who plays it loves it.

Bought one EF360 in 1985 for about $500. It was a GREAT guitar. Tuners eventually failed and it was replaced with a Taylor for $2800. Brighter sound but playability was actually better on the Takamine. Served me well for about 30 years. But mine had 3 controls for bass, treble, and volume.

Why no demo of the unplugged sound?

[@Melkisedek777]

Takamine makes very good guitars. I have a Takamine P4DC, very nice balanced sound! Thanks for the video : )

Takamines are great guitars. Had my EAN model going nearly 20 years now.

I think they both sound awesome.But that EF 450 is Beautiful.

[@ollivanajas]

Thank you for this awesome presentation video, Sam! I do blame you for making me now want two guitars instead of just one, however :D

[@user-dima93]

The second guitar is so beautiful 😊 Can you tell me please which strings size you used on her?

[@leonheart7576]

Is the sound raw sound or comes from the pickup system?

[@willtilley513]

Does the EF360 have an ebony bridge. I have seen in various reviews that it varies from what looks like rosewood to ebony.

[@Anthony-ll4nh]

I have one of those, and the high E-string is too low to the frets compared with all the others, due to an error made on the bridge saddle. At the factory, they cut the saddle very low at the high E. Other than that, I love the guitar, but at this price point, there should not be any factory errors.

I love my G series but that one is so damn nice

Takamine has no bottom, too thin.

[@Yaketyyak21]

JSF Stephens fake news,not true.

[@Immexbeatz]

@@Yaketyyak21 It's only partially true, I have a takamine GF30CE. It does sound a little bit thin naturally, but I wouldn't call that a flaw, it's because of the shape of the body, it's a thin body you can't expect it to sound like a dreadnought or a jumbo. On the pickup it's fairly balanced.
