Location: ms | I got to try one a few weeks ago. This guitar was light, i mean light like an old D18 Martin. The setup was dead on for me. The neck was just to my taste, felt great. The strings were dead so the sound was a bit weak. I just don`t have that kind of money. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Funny this thread came back up at this time. I'm having a house guest this weekend and was restringing a few guitars so he would leave saying "man those Takamines sound like shit", anyway I pulled the '08 off the wall gave it a strum and just smiled. Thought - "Well, he'll damn well enjoy this one, that's for sure."
It's a guitar you could gig with every single night. Or a guitar you could prop up in a museum and never play. It's just a wonderful, wonderful instrument. |

I sure wish I could buy one of every guitar I think would be cool to have. The 08C is certainly on the list. I've got real hard choice coming up on what I'm going to spend my next round of guitar money on. |

Toby, make sure you visit the pool just before he gets there. |
