well, instead of doing a song, like cold november that shows off the lows and highs pretty much exclusively, letting go is more mid centered

I am seriously looking at a Tak. G-Series to be more specific. On the G-series page it says some have the "TK4N preamp" and other select guitar have the "N4B preamp" . Is there much of a diference between them? Is one leaps and bounds better than the other? In case anyone is wondering, the specific guitar I am looking at is here: http://www.takamine.com/?fa=detail&mid=876&sid=69# Not top of the line or anything, but better than my Washburn D-10 I think

I thought it was all red, and it was just the way the light was hitting it made it look blue on the sides.

well play it, or look at it in real life, i dont know about their nato wood, some kind of laminate i think the guy said its like maple. just play it and if you like it its good, the preamp is good though i can vouche for that.

Most Taks have laminate back and sides, if you plan on using it amlified a whole bunch then the laminate isn't necessarily a bad thing as it's less prone to feedback.

top is 90% of the sound
5% is the bracing
3% is the saddle and nut
and the last 2% is back, sides, bridge pins, etc.

so if you have a solid top, back and sides dont matter too much

i know, and i also knew in my price back and sides no matter where i looked would be laminate... so why not have laminate koa instead of rosewood or mahogony? itll sound better.

i got it on that deal. BUT that doesnt come with a case, so you have to get one, mine cost $100, BUT he gave it to me for free, and since i got in tennessee where they have basically 10% sales tax getting out of there for like $550 is good.

Played this guitar today at guitar center along with the dred that looks the same. Really the like them both, especially the dred if I can get it with electronics. I need to play some washburns in my range before I decide. My price range is the same as yours and will probably buy one or the other in about a month or so when I have the cash. Congrats.
