I saw a black Takamine that sounds beautiful and is made in Japan and retails around $1,400 and another that is made in Korea that costs $850 retail Takamine? Any thoughts? Cause Im trying to get a guitar that I am starting out with I have already been through a cheap $99 guitar that I hardly even played and it started cracking down and breaking on me and I just want a guitar that is going to last that I can take to the next level if I want it to. I really don't care about electric acoustic or anything I just want a good guitar. If you could help me decide if the price is right they are offering 30% off on both of those guitars. Again Thanks for any advice.
either Takamine will be durable and last decades as long as they are not kept in a wet basement or anything silly. the korean and japan made are both solid.
get the one that sounds best
Get a Taylor 300 series acoustic. Best guitar for the price. (around $1000) But yes there is a difference. Japanese made is usually better then korean, just the parts, wood types and craftmanship is better. However, American made guitars are better in my opinion. (ie. martin, taylor, gibson)
