I concur. The cool tube electronics on my TAN15C are awesome, and the playability, to me, is unparalleled. So responsive. I've been playing for 50 years and gigging for 12, and Takamine is great.

Easy to dial in, few ever feedback issues that are easily remedied. They are plug n play, rugged, comfortable and the five I've owned came setup stage ready perfect, and yes the MIJ Taks do sound lovely unplugged, using HHG, scalloped bracing & dovetail joints which I prefer.
I also use my D18 with a Baggs M80 for certain venues, a different sound and very nice for finger picking in my more mellow venues.
Btw...I've purchased 3 Taks from our AGF sponsor Pacific Guitar Sales, Jerry has a very nice inventory and is wonderful gentleman to do business with!
