Let me start by saying you WILL NOT find a better 12-String for the money than this one, period. She has a nice, even, mellow and very rich tone when playing with your fingers and she booms when strumming. It's called a 'Jumbo' body but let's call it a mini-Jumbo being only slightly larger than most dreadnaughts. I've played most all makes and models of 12-Strings in this price range ($500) and they were all junk,..except this Takamine. Plus, this was the best looking and best built of all I tried. And the electronics are more than serviceable (I rank it B or B+). In fact, the guitar plays better than instruments that cost 3 or 4x more. Compare it to the Taylor that's $1600. This Takamine blows it away. Compare it to the Martin that's $1800. This Takamine sounds better. And it plays better, mostly because of the mini-V shaped neck that's a must with 12-Strings IMO.
This guitar is like that $20 bottle of wine that's better than bottles that cost $100.
But don't take my word for it. Go to your local guitar store and compare for yourself. You'll quickly be sold like I was.
If there's another repo being sold, pass on this one.
This is not a plug and play piece.
You won't be able to use many of your original attaching screws because the towers (for the screws) are too skinny, For instance, the four towers for the heater control are way to skinny (and less sturdy) for the original attaching screws. The heater control receives a lot of 'handling' so I hope my smaller screws (that I had to get at a hardware store, size 6 BTW) are up to the task.
Also, you'll have to drill holes that should have been pre-dilled; for the two big lenses (the speedo and tach/fuel gauge lenses,..use a 7/64" bit if you wish to use your original screws).
And the towers used to attach the wiper switch are too short and they're too skinny for the original hardware.
The upside are, the plastic seems to be a good quality and the appearance is nice.
