I have been to so-called Vietnam Luthiers Street - Nguyen Thien Thuat St. Sorry to say that most of the guitars there are craps ! I do see 1 or 2 good piece. But come to think of durabilities .....no thanks. I have friends bought some fr there. Initially sound fantastic, but after few mths. Saddle came out due to bad glues, pick-up broken .....etc. They hv not reach that good QC stage. Till then, I still prefer bet on reputable brands.
What a shame a Vietnamese using a Jap made guitar. The owner should look into his own country as the vietnamese luthiers make beautiful sounding & best inlaid guitars that can match popular European branded guitars in the sound dept.
Anyway the Taka sounds so thin. No meat at all in the tone. Bet he paid abt $3000 for that piece of crap. He could have got a sweeter sounding guitar in hcm for $500
Hohoho, you finally did a review on this Jarvis! Sounds immaculate! I know, cuz i own one too! Haha thanks for the set up Jarvis! :) m loving it more after watching your video!
Do you think that all solid wood guitar will sound noticeably better than the one that only has solid top and back? I may mistake but I believe all Takamine LTD line has laminated sides. Can you really tell the difference?
Great work, sounds awesome.

Wow it looks and sounds good, didn't know they did more high end guitars, thought them only mid range below a grand. I'm surprized. ROSEWOOD FTW
