Takamine EG 230 Reviews  4 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI bought this unit from a local guitar shop, because it sounded good and was priced right at about $220 for an acoustic/electric.
When I played a jam session with another acoustic player I realized how good the guitar actually sounds, every one in the room agreed, and the person I was playing with had a $400 ovation. I have also done some recording with the guitar, and the electronics really pick up the sound well.
The only down fall would be the lack of a cutaway, never underestimate the importance of a cutaway. You have access to the first 16 or 17 frets, but after that it is a streach.
I have had it for about a year now and it has maintained its finish, also the Grover tuners are excellent and will stay excellent for years (I know because I have a Dean 7 string electric with the same tuners that I have had for about 3 years and I bought it used from a pawn shop.)
Great guitar, priced low enough for entry level players, but the sound (as a stand alone acoustic and being recorded or played through an amp), the excellent construction, and the feel to last a life time of playing. Brandon rated this unit on 2003-11-28.
