Hi guys and gals
In 1992 I decided I would like to play guitar so I bought a Jasmine by Takamine.
Its an s49, all mahogany and at the time I thought I was going to be the next Mark Knopfler, Chet Atkins or whoever, well that didn't happen.
I picked at it
on and off over the years without making much progress. Then about 2 years ago I went at it with a little more maturity and a lot more discipline, needless to say I actually made some progress.
That cheap little guitar has a really straight neck still and is very easy to play, it's also very sweet sounding to me, very nice tone but not a lot of bass and not much volume. I noticed a few months back that the sound board had started to lift at the bridge and I didn't think it was worth fixing so enters my new, yes "new" as in never sold GA8 with warranty
holy crap this guitar sounds amazing and is just as easy to play as my Jasmine. I paid $xx here in Canada and thought it was an amazing deal.
This purchase of course led me to you folks and that's my story.
