Takamine EG530SSC Acoustic Electric Cutaway Guitar Review

The Takamine EG530SSC is one of the best acoustic guitars available in its price range and even competes with many other more expensive acoustic guitars.

The features of the guitar are fantastic as the preamp is perfect and the gloss finish is beautiful . The Takamine EG530SSC also features an on board tuner which comes in very handy. It is also remarkably well built.

The sound however is where the EG530SSC really shines as for the price there is nothing that comes close to matching the quality offered by this and that is why it is rated as one of the best acoustic guitars around. Whether acoustic or plugged in it produces all the right tones and a brilliant clean and clear tone to boot. Honestly guitars costing double what you will pay for this don't sound as good.

The only real negative I have is that there does seem to be a little buzz on the 4th fret but this isn't a massive issue and is easily fixed. This apart the EG530SSC is a very reliable and well built guitar.

Summary - If you've read the review you don't need the summary to tell you I think it is an awesome instrument and one of the best acoustic guitars money can buy. I've played various types of music on the guitar and have yet to encounter anything sounding less than fantastic.
