MY NEW GUITAR ! ! !

i went guitar shopping today, i had thought to get a taylor or martin but i played about 10 then the guy came over with a Tackamine EAN 10 C

it was so amazing that i knew i would leave with it the first cord i played. it has such a gets sound. a heavy sturdy feel and a action and responsiveness that suits my (lots of dmb) style playing.
im paying for it tomorow, its reserved and deposited and i can take it home tomorow. came with a nice hard case. what i was playing in the shop sounded amazing compaired to my 5 year old, poorly kept piece of shit guitar i use normally.
im pretty damn excieted

you should get a bigger picture though, it's hard to see the guitar in great detail...



congrats, enjoy it man, a new axe is a great thing :)

Martin dm / 00016 rgt / a dark brown one. and another down form 1400 pounds to 999 due to a small scratch

taylor 314 ce, the one with no scratch plate, 510, and a couple of others. i didnt want to even try a tackamine, then he said it was supperious to any i had played so far. i played it, i creamed . he then said it was only £800 (and i got him down a bit too)

ps sorry for size of pic :)

he said something to do with tensions to stop the string doing something. cant remember but made sense at the time.
i love how its just the guitar, no scratch plate or dots on the board

The no dots/pick guard look is bad ass. Of all the guitar's I've played, none have sounded as deep/full/rich as my friends Takamine. I don't remember the number, but yea, it's a beautiful guitar, congrats.
