Guitar
Takamine EG340SC
I have been playing guitar since mid 2008. Recently I acquired an acoustic guitar. I was looking for a dreadnaught model, solid top. The guitar performs as well or better as expected, some pros and cons are:
- Stays in tune very well
- Built-in tuner very convenient
- Very playable, distance to neck relatively constant
- Some fret buzz on the E string
The most amazing quality has to be that the guitar stays in tune all the time. Recently the temperature dropped 5 degrees in 2 hours, no problem. Same goes for humidity, really amazing. An other impressing feature is that on all the strings the note on the 12th fret nearly perfectly matches the flageolet.
The sound and looks are of course subjective, but in case you are interested in my opinion... The guitar looks nice, but it is not the most extravert one for sale. So if you are looking for something else have a look at the Ibanez's for example. I like the look, but it was not the main selling point.
The sound on the other hand was something that attracted me to the guitar. In my opinion it sounds great, very smooth polished sound. It is also able to produce high volumes without the sound being bland.

Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top
I recently aquired this guitar, when I have played it a bit I will write about my experiences.
The Old Hickory D42-NAT (Sold)
I have bought the "Old Hickory" guitar to keep player whilst doing my traineeship in Denver. I have picked up this instrument for $200 and so far I have been happy with it. It actually has an compensated bridge, not bad for that price.
The sound of this guitar is not as good as that of the Takamine; that aspect is something the EG340 excells at. The feel comes reasonable close to it however, not bad for a guitar this cheap.
