the sound is excellent for this price range

The Takamine EG240 Guitar is a Dreadnought/Gloss acoustic with nato back and sides, spruce top and bound fingerboard.

Play a G Series guitar and you’re apt to think it’s one of the finest acoustic/electrics made. If there is one guitar that usually winds up being your first guitar, or the guitar in your collection you play most often, it’s the Dreadnought.

Pros

• the sound is excellent for this price range;
• is good for a starter guitar;
• most owners was happy with the factory strings;
• the craftsmanship is clean.

Cons

• the bass doesn’t sound too good after a while;
• has a passive preamp, that’s not very controable;
• pickups are pretty ineffective.

Suggestions

• because the bridge comes from the factory with a shim underneith, take it out! to lower the action;
• maybe you’ll need the zoom box to combat a tiny sound that happens when you amp the guitar.
• recommended this guitar to beginners and intermediate players
• play it through some PA stuff but it sounds really neat if you couple that with an acoustic effects pedal
