Takamine EG523SC Jumbo Acoustic‑Electric – Natural, Great Player, Minor Blemishes

This is a Takamine EG523SC jumbo cutaway acoustic‑electric, their largest body style, with a solid spruce top and flamed maple back and sides for big, piano‑like projection and plenty of sparkle on top. The gloss natural finish shows off the flame beautifully while the jumbo body gives you strong low end that holds up in a mix, whether you’re strumming hard or playing gently.

The factory TK40 preamp with built‑in chromatic tuner, 3‑band EQ, notch filter and mid contour makes this a true stage‑ready guitar; just plug in and you can quickly tame feedback and dial in your sound at the gig. Unplugged, it’s loud, full and articulate; plugged in, it sits easily in a live or recording mix without a lot of fuss.

Cosmetically, it’s in good used condition with some light finish blemishes and small scuffs on the body—nothing structural and nothing you feel under the hand while playing. Frets have plenty of life, neck is comfortable with the slim C profile, and the cutaway plus 20‑fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone block inlays make upper‑fret work easy.
