Takamine Classical, What do I have?
I briefly took classical lesson about 20 years ago and picked up a used Takamine C134s. I don't play it often, I am spending time learning a steel string, but I have always been fond of the guitar. It has a soft mellow voice and I have no plans to get rid of it.
I know it has a solid cedar top, but really don't know anything else about it. It has a rosewood back and sides but I don't know if they are solid or laminate. The back interior is also rosewood, if that helps. Neck is one piece mahogany and I think it is a rosewood fretboard, although the grain doesn't quite look like rosewood. I am guessing it is mid 80's manufacture. I bought it in the early 90's for $200. Any info and possible value would be appreciated. I know it is not a valuable guitar, but it is nice to have a nylon string to play now and then. |

Thanks for the links. It is as I suspected. A well made, but nothing special guitar. I did find the manufacture date stamped on a brace just inside the soundhole. It was made in Jan of 1981.

Not sure if I agree with this. It can be a very special guitar. People love them.

Pics would help. I remember the Taks around that time period were pretty decent guitars for the price. Most likely laminate back and sides with a solid top. Is it finished on the inside too? They seemed to have done that.
EDIT I see now this is an 8 year old thread so what I just typed up is a waste of time. Geesh. |
