Takamine GJ72CE12?

[BloodRose]

Anyone have any experience with one of these?? Ive been wanting a nice, but inexpensive 12 string. Sweetwater has em for
$348 on a black friday deal.. Good guitar? good price??

I had a yamaha 12 that I got on ebay but the action was atrocious. The bridge was pulling up in back and wasnt worth the $ to fix..
Thanks!

Linkie so you know what Im referring too and if anyone else may be interested.

I've never played a Takamine I didn't like, or think was well made. There's a reason that they've been able to completely dominate the acoustic market, and that's because it's damn near impossible for anyone to come near their quality at their price point (for lower to mid range products).

It's a Tak. Can there be anything wrong?

Falbo called it one time - "The Toyota of Acoustics"

PS - I have the cheapest Yamaha 12st I could find. Maybe $200 - still going strong 10+ years!!!!

Falbo gave a very apt description.

Thanks guys! And happy thanksgiving! Yeah Frank's always been on the money. Ace, I know yamahas are usually always there too,that's why I bought it. I'm just sure that one wasn't cared for right.

Well, the sale on these ended and was pretty much set to save up some extra money and go with the Taylor.. But the ever on top of things Mr John Jolly hit me up with a pm that pro audio was selling these for under $300. I have one coming!!
