I have played, and owned, just about every high end acoustic guitar worth mentioning. What I like about the Takamine G series is not how they compare to high end guitars, but what a unique value they represent at the lower end of the scale. First of all, they are well built to Takamine's Japanese specifications in China. This means that they have the same 'feel' as their more expensive instruments. I have large hands and love the way the necks on these guitars play. Attention to detail and hardware is admirable in this price range. I own the GD20 and GD93. Each one has different tonal qualities that I appreciate. The GD93 has a brighter, but very well balanced range overall. Where higher end units tend to emphasize a particular bottom, mid or treble response, this guitar is evenly balanced right across the sound board. This makes it ideal for accompanying vocals. It's not particularly the best lead instrument as in a bluegrass band for instance. But the volume is strong and even from top to bottom end. I know I have never played a better inexpensive guitar from any manufacturer than these. I will probably end up collecting each model in this series eventually for the different tonal variations and ease of playability. My high end guitars now sit in their cases while these are on stands within easy reach for my daily enjoyment. The B Stock instruments are an even better value and might have some little cosmetic defect that in no way affects the playability or sound of the guitar. I wish I'd had an acoustic this nice to learn on when I started over 40 years ago. Because of the laminate sides and backs, these guitars are actually stronger than their high end counterparts and should last a long time with proper care. Their sound will never compare to a Martin D-28, but that's not what they are built for. This is just a better than average entry level instrument that can be appreciated by beginning and accomplished players alike.Read full review
