Posted by: courgette75 Aug 12 2008, 11:29 AM

Hello everybody,

I would like to buy a classic electro acoustic guitar.

I mainly play brasilian jazz, flamenco and classic.
My budget (in euros, sorry ! is about 1000euros

I've heard that takamine has got good guitars, but wich model is good ?
And I also would like to know if an electro acoustic played in acoustic mode (without ampli) has got a good sound (the same that a normal acoustic ?

Thanks for all your advice !

Fred

Takamine has some absolutely awesome guitars

I've got the Takamine TF250SMC Sunburst, Best acoustic I've ever tried!

As for the guitar your after, do you want a classical guitar (nylon strings) or a Steel string guitar?

Thanks for your quick answer, it is unbelievable !

I would like nylon strings, I don't use to play with a mediator, so...

And is the sound og your guitar good, when you play in acoustic mode ? (without ampli) ?

Godin guitars are always good. The nylon strings of that brand are cool guitars.

Yes, it is the best acoustic guitar I've tried, it sounds awesome

A bit expensive though, but worth every penny
