+Dale Palmer Thanks so much for your king words Dale! Appreciated so much having you around. You will listen to the sound and then tell me. Stay connected please!
+Blasty Thanks so much for watching and commenting on my videos, really appreciate the support. You will listen to the sound.... Is a great bang for the buck!
I own several Takmine guitars and contrary to many guitar SNOBS, Takamine makes excellent guitars. Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Brad Davis, Garth Brooks and several other major artists swear by Takamine guitars. Anyway, one of my favorites is the Pro Series EF440SCGN ( Solid Cedar top ) acoustic-electric. What a beautiful, well built, excellent sounding guitar!
I guess I cannot agree more with your comment.... Particularly speaking the entry series are really well made guitars and excellent value for the price. May thanks for watching and commenting!
Great looking guitar for little money. I am intrigued as to what you do for a living Cesar as you have worked all over the world? I've been to Egypt those pyramids are marvellous.👍
+Simon Bradbury My dearest Simon.... thanks so much for watching, commenting and supporting the channel. Really appreciate your presence and friendship.My job is like a long " love story" for 24 years - all my professional life at the same Company. Immediately after finishing my PhD I joined and happy as the first day (even more ). Egypt is a great Country, I can tell you after living there (living means living, not visiting :-) ). One day we will talk about it. Stay tuned please!
Hey Carlos - I will leave out of the game the Fender. Both Yamaha and this model are in my opinion the option. But it is a very personal choice man....Thanks for watching!
Had this guitar for years but recently bought an expensive 12 string and the sound quality is million times better than this guitar. Im now gonna sell my takamine and purchase a more high end 6 string as the sound will be better. Beautiful guitar tho. Good review. subbed.

Buenas César, me compré esta guitarra hace poco y quería saber que consejos me puedes dar para cuidarla y mantenerla. Acabo de comprar aceite de limón para aplicárselo la próxima vez que le cambie las cuerdas. Por cierto, ¿tienes algún consejo sobre como atacar esta guitarra? Saludos y gracias.
Hola Michelle! Gracias por ver mis videos y por comentar.. Vamos a ver , por partes :-) Yo no uso aceite de limon desde que descubro el F-1 oil de Music Nomad ( lo puedes ver en mis videos ). Pero en contra de lo que dice el personal por aquí no hay nada malo en usarlo, no siempre que cambies las cuerdas ...mas o menos una vez cada doce meses. Procura mantener la humedad constante y yo siempre uso un humidificador de los que se ponen en la boca de la guitarra... Atacar la guitarra - puedes por favor ser mas especifico con la pregunta? Si te refieres a Fingerpicking o strumming la guitarra es perfecta para ambas cosas. Las cuerdas que yo uso son siempre D' Addario y en todas las acústicas pongo 11-53 o 12-53....
Cesar Blues Guitar Hola César muchísimas gracias por responderme, y no me des las gracias por ver tus vídeos que el favor me lo haces tu. Yo de aceite uso el Planet Waves PW-LMN de D'Addario. ¿Crees que debería aplicarlo a algún sitio más a parte del diapasón?. Me refería a strumming más bien, sobre todo porque (igual es impresión mia porque vengo de guitarra española) que las 2 primeras cuerdas destacan sobre las demás e igual a la hora de atacarlas hay que hacerlo con más suavidad. Saludos y gracias.
Un placer! Yo le pondria un poco al puente también. Nunca a la tapa, aros o a la parte de atrás! Le quitas la cejuela del puente ( con cuidado por el piezo ) y pones un poco de aceite. Bueno, respecto lo de strumming puede ser que sin querer ataques mas fuerte las ultimas dos cuerdas.. ten en cuenta que no son entorchadas y van a responder distinto que las que si lo son. Yo creo que también puede ser hasta que te acostumbres al timbre....Saludos!
If you think about buying one: this guitar has a massive neck, so it is not for everyone. Also the tuners are rubbish. Had to change mine to Kluson aftermarket ones. Other than that not a bad guitar.
Hey - Thanks for the question! The entry series of Takamine ( more affordable ones ) are all made in China...I guess is because production is cheaper...
playstation2bigs Yamaha is a great guitar maker. If you watch my channel I play a lot of Yamahas - The Silent guitars and the SGL 1820... I love Yamaha Guitars!
Your reviews are top notch Cesar. I have heard that some of the lower priced Takamine guitars are a good guitar for the money.
+Dale Palmer Thanks so much for your king words Dale! Appreciated so much having you around. You will listen to the sound and then tell me. Stay connected please!

Fender CD60 CE, Yamaha APX 500 or this one, wich one would you prefer?

Hi there. According to all sources (including their website), the EG440sc Takamine has Mohogany back and sides, not laminate. Can you clarify?
You should review your sources because the sides and back are laminated mahogany. Read as an example the Sweetwater review. Thanks
I thought its koa back

I guess I mention that on my vid.... thanks for Watching!
Is this a solid top or laminate ?
Thanks for watching and commenting! The top is sold spruce. The channel is full of covers and set ups, demos, etc... Welcome back anytime!
What does EG mean? Mine just says G440C
I have no idea...
Is yours electro? Think that's what the e stands for
Why its made in china not japan ?
Hey - Thanks for the question! The entry series of Takamine ( more affordable ones ) are all made in China...I guess is because production is cheaper...
+Cesar Blues Guitar which is better Aria or takamine? i'll buying soon
playstation2bigs Well,,,is a very personal decision but personally I will always choose Takamine before Aria... But of course is just my opinion!
Thanks for that, owned a yamaha electric guitar pac012 low end guitar made in indonesia still working brilliant
