Takamine No.8 Classical Guitar 1999
What a wonderful guitar!!!
Beautiful looking.
Angelic sounding.
In immaculate condition.
The Takamine No.8 is the second top guitar in the Takamine lineup just after the No.10.
You can tell the difference when you pick it up. It is built to perfection.
I've tuned the harmonic cedar top to the closest note which was an A.
It is a well-balanced instrument, not overly loud but very clear in both the basses and trebles.
There's something magical in its tone, it's almost like a tube microphone sounding guitar rather than a condenser microphone sounding guitar, this is for those who know the difference between the 2 types of microphones.
If I was to describe the sound of this guitar I would say it's like a beautiful photo with a vignette around it.
I think it's best I made a video and upload it on youtube for you to see and hear.
I am pleased and proud to say this guitar sound magical and can rival guitar in the $10,000 range.
