Review: Awesome guitar, great seller - I purchased this guitar through one of the authorized third-party retailers. It was a floor model listed as used-like new. For the discount they gave, it was well worth it. They shipped it quickly, it came with everything a new purchase would and they certified the first-time owner's manufacturer's warranty was still valid. It was very secure in the shipping and not a single mark on the guitar. The only evidence it'd even been used were a few fingerprints, but it was so shiny and clean. As far as the instrument itself, I was apprehensive about purchasing a guitar online but all the stores since the pandemic have such limited stock anymore so I took a chance and have been blown away. The craftsmanship is amazing, it feels so comfortable and good to play, and most importantly it sounds so good. It produces overtones with every chord. I love playing it just acoustic, but the pickup is also top-notch quality as well. I also love the built-in chromatic tuner. Overall, this is easily one of the best guitars I've ever played and I couldn't be happier. Review: Great playing and looking guitar - I like this guitar! It plays and sounds great out of the box. The action is just right and its not too low and giving me buzz. It looks beatiful and well made! This has become one of my main gig guitars. ## Features - 6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Figured Koa Top - Rosewood Fingerboard - Natural - Figured Koa Back Sides - Mahogany Neck ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001BZJ5CC | | Back Material | Koa | | Best Sellers Rank | #194,345 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #932 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Koa | | Color Name | Natural | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (16) | | Date First Available | July 1, 2008 | | Fretboard Material | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Adjustable | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | akamine Palethetic pickup and the warm-sounding CT | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 15.8 pounds | | Item model number | EF508KC | | Neck Material Type | Koa | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 48 x 9 x 20 inches | | Size | 48 inches | | String Material | Koa | | Top Material | ***Gloss, Satin || Lacquer, Ureth | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Koa - **Body Material:** Koa - **Brand:** Takamine - **Color:** Natural - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** akamine Palethetic pickup and the warm-sounding CT - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Koa - **String Material Type:** Koa - **Top Material Type:** ***Gloss, Satin || Lacquer, Ureth ## Images ![Pro Series EF508KC NEX All Koa Acoustic Electric Guitar, Natural with Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jsHmNkFyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome guitar, great seller *by J***. on March 25, 2023* I purchased this guitar through one of the authorized third-party retailers.
