Takamine Parlor Acoustic Electric For Sale

[tonebender]

I had listed these on CL and have not had a single response. Nothing wrong with it, practically mint. $350 shipped to AGFers. I sold the PRS

Takamine GY93

[tonebender]

The Tak does not come with a case but the PRS as you can see does.

Those are some sweet deals on a couple of very nice guitars. I'm flush with acoustics myself but that Takamine is especially tempting

[tonebender]

@uwmcscott you don't happen to have a Gibson 335 with the satin burst finish laying around that you would be willing to work a trade for do you?

My Takamine Sante Fe that I acquired back in the 90's has always been the absolute shit when it comes to acoustics. I wish I had a Gibson I liked better but so far I have not found one. I have a nice Gibson but it still is not quite on par with the Sante Fe. That is what motivated me to get the Tak parlor. It is one sweet guitar and the finish is incredible for what they cost. It was a hard decision to put it up for sale and if it does not go soon I may keep it.

I am open to trade for stuff with you guys but I do not need much. I am willing to hear about what you have to offer though.

Ha, no 335s of any kind unfortunately. I've whittled my electric stable down to a tele, a strat and a couple of LP's And on the acoustic side all but one of mine are Yairi's from the 80's and 90s. I think they are a lot like Takamine in that they are very high quality Japanese builds that punch way above their relative purchase price. I also have one Eastman E1d - whish is the entry level Dread, but it's all solid woods with ebony board and has a satin finsh - and plays/sounds incredibly well for about $350 used.

I am also in the downsizing mode, about the only want I have is a Martin acoustic, and I've specifically been watching for a birthyear ( 1970 ) D18 or D28. If the right one comes along I'll snag it, but I have also seen some of the "modern deluxe" series that are relatively new and have all-wood binding, which looks very cool.

So sorry, no trades at this point - but I do still have that black 93 P90 LP studio just so you know it's safe and sound

Man that Studio P90 is such an awesome guitar. It is a real players guitar. I have this little Martin parlor acoustic electric that is a great guitar. It is all mahogany with an ebony board. Play like a dream and sounds nice and warm like the Sante Fe. I like it so much that I went and played the Streetmaster and a couple of similar models that are higher up on the food chain but they did not measure up to the one I have.

I remember a friend back in the 70's that came in with a brand new Martin acoustic. I think it may have been a D28. His parents bought if for him for Christmas. They are the backbone of the line.

Sooner or later I will just several down to GC, trade them in on a Gibson 335 and pay the difference. We've been gigging a lot and that fund is dedicated to gear

That Tak!

I've fallen for the parlour guitars too. Currently really enjoying my killer deal solid rosewood silver Creek. $66 iirc. As it ages I like it more and more
