no way are takamine's garbage.
my friend got an absolutely beautiful soundin takamine (i don't know the exact model) electric acoustic for $350 Canadian.

It kicks the horse dung out of any other guitar in that price range...

Besides the fact that I play a Takamine, so I'm biased...They are definitely NOT crap...

Besides the fact that they sound awsome plugged in, they have a rich, booming acoustic sound when unplugged...Now I'm not saying that my EF341SCX is comparable to an hd-28v or a 914ce, but with Takamines you get what you payed for, especially when you get into the solid body models...

...but thats just my opinion, I could be wrong...(though that's highly unlikely)

I too played a Takamine as my first guitar , and it was amazing. Model is a EG540C, with a preamp installed. Went for around 400, great guitar.
