Selected User Reviews For Takamine GC1 NAT Classical Acoustic Guitar, Natural,medium

After 45 years, it has finally happened! I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar, and I've finally found the ideal beginner model
5/5

It's simple to play, stays in tune well, and if my guitar-playing career fails, I'm content with the amount of money I spent. The guitar has accompanied me on my journeys and has performed admirably thus far. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product.

This guitar is stunning
5/5

This guitar is stunning. I'm blown away by the instrument's quality. I got it for my boyfriend as a present. He had previously owned a Takamine, but claimed the attention to detail in this one was astounding. This is such a lovely guitar, and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Except for one thing, it sounds great
3/5

Unusual and obnoxious buzzing on specific frets, regardless of action.

I have never owned a better guitar
5/5

I bought this one a few days ago, I had an Ibanez and liked the way it sounded, but after doing some research, I tried the Takamine and fell in love with the way it sounds, feels, and looks, and it will last a long time, I'm very happy with it, I also had an acoustic guitar and it in no way compared to the Takamine, you will not be disappointed if you buy it.

Beautiful work
5/5

It's lovely to look at, listen to, and play.   It's a stunning guitar. Despite the fact that the top is laminated, the sound quality is excellent. You'll struggle to find a guitar that looks, plays, and sounds this good at this price point. This guitar is one of my favorites, and I find myself playing it more frequently than my more expensive instruments. The initial set-up was also excellent. Because I prefer a slightly lower action, I chose to shave 1mm off the saddle. This one, in my opinion, cannot be beat.
