Unless you are performing solo recitals, nobody is going to care much what the guitar sounds like amplified. Here in AGF everyone wants 'my guitar, but louder'. Out there in the real world nobody will be listening to the guitar, it'll just be part of the mix.
Takamine guitars are used by a lot of performers, all of whom can afford much more expensive kit, because they have good electronics and are well built for stage use.

Pretty much this.
I love my Alvarez guitars,
But for plugging in, the Takamine P3DC is no slouch.
The preamp (CT4BII) and if you don’t like it, all the Pro series and other MIJ guitars have interchangeable preamps.
Now if you’re doing small venues with audiences under 400 or so, your current guitar with a K&K thru one of the better pedals, such as a Venue, ParaAcoustic, or the like will serve you well.
