Yeah. I got it after watching your reviews. I like it. Great guitar at this price point. Way better than Cort CJ RETRO VSM which I thought would be better than Takamine.
I'm so torn between a Takamine New Yorker or the Dreadnought in the same "G" series with is their affordable line. As a older player I like the smaller body, as I have neck and shoulder issues. The New Yorker has very nice mid and treble but I find it not to great for strumming (at least not to hard, i find it needs to be feathered or it blends into itself gets messy sounding), it lacks the low end that the Dreadnought has, however it has a preamp which I brought up the bass on and played it through my bass amp, it actually improved decently as long as I don't strum too hard. With the Dreadnought obviously volume is less an issue and I open up more on strumming, low end is there but as I mentioned the smaller New York size fits my frame with less pain issues maybe I can work around somehow. I believe both nut widths are around 42.5mm. Good for my smaller hands. Any insights...I know it's a very personal choice to make.
Try out 1 and 2. Choose what you love more. There is a very similar Takamine GD 10. Maybe it is for you. Here we have mahogany, and in Takamine GD 10 there is a spruce top. So sound differs a little. Good for fingerpicking I'd say.
I played them both. CD 60S has solid spruce top. Takamine GD 11 M NS has laminated top. Speaking of their sound, Fender sounds bright and its sustain is quite good. Takamine has great sustain too, but it has more bass sound. I own this Takamine guitar and can say that it's worth buying. Before I decided to get it, I was looking for a guitar that would be good for fingerstyle. Reasons to buy Takamine: + loud and bass sound + strings are hard yet comfortable to play + the guitar itself is well made + quite heavy(that speaks of its wood quality) + all laminated (does not need any temperature check at home) +++ looks super cool! Reasons to avoid: - would not be a great choice for a fingerstyle player - doesn't sound as bright as many people expect - high quality strings are required to get a brighter sound(I use D'addario XS 12-53 and it brings the best out of this guitar) CD 60S Reasons to buy: + bright sound + light weight + good for fingerstyle + strings are easy to play + made of quality wood + slippery neck(can be either an advantage or a disadvantage) Reasons to avoid: - better guitars can be found at this price point - lacquered body and neck cover(fingerprints are everywhere after being played) - sometimes strings height are not set up out of factory (need to be taken to a guitar luthier. BTW, I have not had such issues with Takamine guitars) A lot more should be mentioned, but I have not used CD 60S. Both are good. Good luck in choosing a guitar!

Proud owner. Just strung them up with Everlasts 11-52 and she sounds amazing!
What is calibre born fabric?
Yeah. I got it after watching your reviews. I like it. Great guitar at this price point. Way better than Cort CJ RETRO VSM which I thought would be better than Takamine.
is it much better than the 12 guage?

Estaba a punto de comprar la Fender cd60 o cd140 pero parece que compraré este modelo Takamine
JAJAJA Tengo exactamente el mismo dilema...

hi in your opinion Takamine GD11M vs Epiphone DR 100 to strum along to Oasis tunes. Your playing is Very Entertaining
unequivocally Takamine !
Takamine or the Yamaha FG800?

@@alexkrock5298 He is better fender 60cd v3??
Какая вам больше нравится по звучанию, эта или ibanez aw54 opn?
Ибанез менее универсальная. Эта гитара, суля по ее АЧХ и другим параметрам - она вообще для всего.
Hey man, I hope you demo the new GY11 too. Thanks!
Greeting!
Please help me choose. Takamine GD11M NS or Yamaha FG830?

Fender cd60s of takamine gd11. Sound and playabilty?
I played them both. CD 60S has solid spruce top. Takamine GD 11 M NS has laminated top. Speaking of their sound, Fender sounds bright and its sustain is quite good. Takamine has great sustain too, but it has more bass sound. I own this Takamine guitar and can say that it's worth buying. Before I decided to get it, I was looking for a guitar that would be good for fingerstyle.
Reasons to buy Takamine:
+ loud and bass sound
+ strings are hard yet comfortable to play
+ the guitar itself is well made
+ quite heavy(that speaks of its wood quality)
+ all laminated (does not need any temperature check at home)
+++ looks super cool!
Reasons to avoid:
- would not be a great choice for a fingerstyle player
- doesn't sound as bright as many people expect
- high quality strings are required to get a brighter sound(I use D'addario XS 12-53 and it brings the best out of this guitar)
CD 60S
Reasons to buy:
+ bright sound
+ light weight
+ good for fingerstyle
+ strings are easy to play
+ made of quality wood
+ slippery neck(can be either an advantage or a disadvantage)
Reasons to avoid:
- better guitars can be found at this price point
- lacquered body and neck cover(fingerprints are everywhere after being played)
- sometimes strings height are not set up out of factory (need to be taken to a guitar luthier. BTW, I have not had such issues with Takamine guitars)
A lot more should be mentioned, but I have not used CD 60S.
Both are good. Good luck in choosing a guitar!

Что лучше эта гитара или cort earth 100 rw?
Cort earth будет звучать ярче. Ето стоит больше
Esa canción es de waylon wyatt
Its Big and Clunky! and it eats your fingers! The sound of the steel strings is somewhat like the sound of a chainsaw.
