Takamine EG530SSC Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar Review :: Acoustic-Electric Guitar
large-volume punchy rhythms + leads rip right on up to the higher registers.
The Takamine EG530SSC Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar is offering you superior sound thanks to the solid spruce top on a sepele body. The neck is made of mahogany with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard. The built-in TK4NT preamp gives you a tunable notch filter, switchable midrange contour and a handy onboard tuner. A solid spruce top and big dreadnought body pump out large-volume punchy rhythms while the cutaway lets leads rip right on up to the higher registers. A solid nato back adds projection while a built-in preamp translates all that tone into the electric realm. The Takamine EG530SSC Cutaway features include Abalone dot inlays and rosette, sealed nickel tuners, bound neck and body and a black pickguard. High-end sound at a fraction of the price of other guitars!
