Bro I love that takamine sound 🎸
Funkbass Corsario I do too! Thank you bro.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown :)
@Ayaan Travis yea, been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :)
I have the ptu241c and it’s simple the best acoustic I have ever owned. I feel like every time I get it out of the case it still blows my mind.
What woods are on that PTU241c Solid?
4:08 the store owners standing nearby rubbing his hands together greedily "He's gonna buy it!!!"
the EF341SC is my dream guitar
It’s a great one.
Got one being delivered to my local GC today. I very much appreciate the review. I previously played the EF341SC and compared it to a $2200 Taylor. To me, the sound was great on both, and the playability of both was great (including up in the 12th fret area, which is what I wanted). I was like, "why do I need to spend $700 more for the Taylor if this Takamine sounds and feels good?" Well, stupid reason perhaps, but my Strat is black and I didn't want to have two black guitars, LOL! But then, along came an ad for THIS guitar, followed by finding your video, and I was sold on the look and sound. Now my greatest hope is that this beautiful guitar plays as well as the EF341SC. If it does not, I will probably exchange the PT for the EF and "suffer" having all black guitars! 🤪 Fingers crossed! 🙂
Great review! Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks for your clear explanation.Lovely video
Man im struggling to decide between this PTU Takamine and a Excellente Masterbilt Epiphone i cant decide which one they both sound good
I may be a little
Biased. But I’ll tell ya this. Takamines have been my workhorses for 20 years. They’ve NEVER failed me.
PTU241C is on sale for 1199 at GC right now
went and tried this out yesterday...now I am selling stuff to save up. Is this exclusive to Guitar Center?
Kevin Lewis the PTU is.
@@RumblinMan Interesting. I can't find it listed on the Takamine site.
Can't decide on this or the ef341
Kevin Lewis hard to go wrong!
Which one do you recommend between Martin & Co. Acoustic Guitar D-15M Dreadnaught and PTU241
I cannot find the Takamine Ptu241c TBS on the Takamine website.
Carl Wilson I believe it’s an exclusive Guitar Center model.
Guitar Center is having a special sale for the Takamine PTU241c TBS. I'm waiting for delivery.
This guitar was made for the Japanese market. Type takamine/jp in Google and the link will come up. You can translate to English at bottom of page. I can't find any differences between the ptu241c-tb and the takamine ps5dc-tb. I believe the ps5dc-tb was made for the Italian market, but if anyone knows please share.
I’ve been playing for a few months now, and gotten pretty decent, it’s during quarantine so I can’t really go to guitar center and try it out... BUT it’s on sale for 1,000$ NEW! Sale ends in three days, but do I really need it? Should I buy and not try? They have the extended return policy too, what should I do? Should I buy the PTU?
K Smith Music while I do recommend trying before you buy, I feel certain that this guitar will definitely work for you.
But should I buy it now to try and use the return policy if I don’t like it?
Also, how does it compare to a Taylor, Martin, or Seagull at this price point in terms of Tone, Playability, or quality
K Smith Music better than all of the above. Taks play much better than Taylors. Seagulls are crap. Martins, it takes thousands to get a decent one. Not to mention Takamine has the best electronics in existence.
PTU241C - GC now nearly sold out, brought one in from Birmingham AL to the Atlanta store, and just picked it up. It's so well built I can't stand it, and I agree at the price there simply isn't anything that compares. The sunburst is beautiful on it, thanks for sharing your opinions on it! I agree, Tak makes the best gigging guitars, period.
atlgator awesome, bro!!!! Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing. We’re in the same club!!!
I gig out 2-3 times a month. I have tried a lot of different guitars everything from Gibson, Taylor, Martin ect. I still always come back to my Takamine Tan 15c with cooltube preamp. I am in the market for another Takamine and after looking at your video I am convinced that the PTU241C is my choice. I just ordered me one today. It sounds amazing. I can’t wait to hear it plugged in.
Thanks for the video not many put on this particular guitar right now.
God Bless. Ronnie Wolford WV
Takamine #1
Thank you for the kind words brother!! I’m so glad I could help. Enjoy the Tak... they are the best. God bless.

Sounding pretty good.. I’m in Love Def meeting expectations. Sounds great unplugged, or plugged

Hi, I guess, your video made me finally decide for this guitar, besides the many good reviews, of course.
Not for me, I am not a musician, only a fan of good music. It is now in Adelaide as a gift for a young female artist, who very much deserved something this beautiful in her life.
If you ever should hear something from Mikayla Jade, later, she is just at the beginning, and you see her with a black guitar, you will know, your video was one of the reasons ;-)
Thank you!
Circular Mood God bless you and thanks for your kindness!
You know how I feel about the 341 brother!! Love the channel!
Reuel Blackwell thank you Ron!!
Great review. Where does this stand in the Tak lineup? Made in Japan with solid tone woods seems pretty high.
Thanks so much! They're both very respectable Taks.
Is the neck thick or thin?
why don't you check out a 12 string I feel like Mexicans are the only ones that he using 12 string guitar
Compton I like 12 string guitars, but for current music it’s a more dated sound, reminiscent of 1970’s music.
Compton puro Jorge Aguilera

Hey Dan how would this Takamine compare to a Taylor 214ce? I play mostly unplugged so I'm trying to decide between the two from that standpoint. Right now by me the PTU241C and Taylor 214ce are around the same price so I'm torn
Mr.J31 hey bro! Well, plugged-in and unplugged are two different things, and the Taks are unmatched in terms of plugged-in sound. In your case, mostly playing unplugged, there’s a lot to consider. For one, the Taylor is a Grand Auditorium body shape, while this model Takamine is a Dreadnaught. A Grand Auditorium sounds more trebly, while a Dreadnaught sounds more full. Both brands make Dreadnaughts and smaller-bodies guitars alike. But with the Takamine, you get a lot more bang for your buck. A Tak at this price point is a pro-level instrument with great stability, looks, electronics and aesthetics. With Taylor, though the 200 series guitars have a nice sound, you don’t really get into the more pro-level guitars until you hit the 300 series. I’ve know a number of people who have owned Taylor 214ce’s and have been disappointed. The neck really isn’t that great, and the guitars are still mostly laminate wood. You can get a gloss finish if you go with the deluxe model, but it still fails in my opinion. Plus, no matter how nice a Taylor you get, you have the ES2 pickup system that a lot of players don’t like. So in my opinion, the Takamine wins on all ends. But, for playing music around the house, the 214ce is fine.
@@RumblinMan My man! Yeah the 214ce dlx was the one i was looking at. Let me ask you another question if you dont mind. I want the guitar I'm looking to get to have excellent and almost easy and smooth playability and a super smooth, warm sound. I really like the bluesy sounds of Clapton and the smooth sounds of Sanata and Al Di Meola. I don't have alot of experience in guitar shopping but I was looking at some Takamine, Taylor, and Martin in the $1500 price range. Would a Tak like the Ptu241c still be the way to go or do you maybe have a better idea for me? I appreciate the help bro
@@MrJ.31 Man, Takamine will give you that, if you ask me. The other brands might be "trendier", but at the price point they don't compare in quality. A Takamine dreadnaught will definitely give you a smooth, warm sound. As far as playability goes, I personally find the necks much more player-friendly than Taylor's guitars. This model will give you all of that. The EF341SC, also mentioned in this video, is slightly lower-priced but plays and sounds incredible as well. You can't go wrong with either!
@@MrJ.31 If you like natural finishes and slightly warmer sound better, another great option is the Takamine P4DC... amzn.to/2YHYzcq
@@RumblinMan Bro thanks so much for the feedback I appreciated it so much. I swung by GC today to take advantage of a sale on the Tak Ptu241c for $1399 which is a steal, but I wound up leaving with a Taylor instead. I grabbed a $1500 brand new black 214ce deluxe and somehow got it for under a grand! I just couldn't pass up that price lol.
Another fine video Dan. I didn't even know that this model existed until I found it on Musicians Friend. Then I Googled the model and found your video. I've been looking for a dreadnaught for a couple weeks trying to figure out what brand and because I already have a Tak with the CTB I know how great they sound. I'm seriously looking at this one.
Thanks for your timely post!
im58woody thanks so much bro! Very cool. I’ve been playing Takamine dreads most of my life, and they never disappoint. You can’t go wrong with them. If you let me know your price range, I’ll send you what models I like best in the range you’re looking for.
Hey Dan. I actually found the PTU241 online through Guitar Center on sale for $150 their regular 1549 and went ahead and bought it.
I will let you know how it is when it arrives!
Nice!!!!!@@im58woody Congrats bro!
Love the sweet tones coming from the Tak! I’m happy with my choice so thanks again!
Yay@@im58woody ! I'm so glad to hear this. Thank YOU!
So cool that you got your hands on the PTU241C. I knew they were coming for a while now but had to keep it hush-hush. They look and sound so amazing. Thank you for this brother.
DRealFatguy my pleasure. Thank YOU! Another Tak vid coming soon.
