Brad Davis Demonstrates the Takamine EF261SAN

[jerseystringer]

Very warm but almost no brightness in this clip. Is it the recording, or the guitar? Beautiful guitar and excellent playing, but it almost sounded as if he was playing with a felt pick.

[benparcellmusic]

I have this guitar but in black, it's beautiful.

[abhiroy1993]

Love the song...

[krilsada]

Absolutely beautiful song!

[ergintombul]

This old buddy i've been dragging round

seen a lot of ups and a lot of downs

This old buddy

once have a girl

made momma proud down round

lost her one night

one a winding road

when hit head on

with a heavy load

This old buddy i've been dragging round

[ergintombul]

what is this name song? please

[ogunclecc]

I've worn a hole through my EF261SAN.

It's my true love.

For those who say you have to plug this guitar in, WRONG.

Check my videos out for proof!

Great video. Brad is great!!!!

Someone Know That Song he Playing

[mccurdyca]

I bought this same guitar for 250 dollars at a used music store best investment ever

[ryancturner]

To answer so many people's questions. I have the exact same model as being played above.  You can pick up an excellent condition used one for as low as $850usd. A brand new EF261SAN will cost between $1,000-1,200usd.

It plays wonderfully plugged in as you can see. You should probably not get this guitar if you don't plan on playing pluged in. It's sound beautiful unplugged but is not loud enough to be played in even solo gigs without an amp. Greetings from Spain!

[abhijitgupta]

hey thanks for your help.. does it sound just as full and warm when played unplugged?  and is the general quality of the guitar good?

[ryancturner]

Hey, no prob. It sounds just as sweet and warm unplugged, but this is not a guitar to use unplugged for gigs.. it's way too quiet! It's not a super full sounding guitar, because of it's size.. but it is VERY clear and warm. It's beautifully made and the electronics are the best out there. I've got Elixir strings on it and it sounds amazing.

[fooozle]

What's this song called?

[Nevermindmusic13]

Pleaaaase , If someone knows that song , tell me the title , contact me , pleeeaaaaase

[Nevermindmusic13]

Hey , SomeBody tell me what the name of the song please

[quickmantan]

i wish i still had this guitar aswell, so sad i had to sell it!!! :-(

[Asprouliaris]

i am thinking about buying a takamine guitar and costs about 500 $ please let me know if it worths to buy this takamine guitar(just reply to my comment) thank you ! :)

[kookie888]

I'd like a Takamine for a similar price, they're so good looking. I hope you find one.

[quickmantan]

i picked up this guitar and heard the sound after first playing a gibson and knew i had to get it.. thought it sounded great and would suit the songs i play.. after reading many reviews its apparent that its a favourtte for people that also sing while playing..... so i was right,,, the sound is class.. for the price is absolutely incredible priceless...

[JakeRlds]

My guitar oh yh

[tsias1990]

over 1200euros

[marcusdubois]

Just wondering - what tuning is the guy playing in? Is that an open tuning?...

[arielcardona]

He dropped the 6th and the 5th to D and G respectively. It's an alternate tuning, but not an open tuning.

[stevo660]

how much is the bloody thing please

[A21Joker]

yes, how does the guitar sound unplugged? does it have the same sound?

[JakeRlds]

I have this guitar and sounds just as good unplugged if your thinking of buying one dont hesitate

[erikmoua]

TAKAMINE!! I'm not gonna pick up another acoustic guitar, except takamine.

[A21Joker]

what amp is used in the demonstration?

[arielcardona]

Probably Genz Benz, which is distributed by the same guys distributing Takamine and Ovation.

[quonsetsun]

It's a Genz Benz Shen 100, now discontinued. See the archived/discontinued pages of the Genz Benz site for more info.

[JakeRlds]

its my guitar.

if anyone thinking of buying one go for it there amazing

[AlphaCentauri00]

what guitar model is this?

amazing!

[AlphaCentauri00]

oops rhetorical of me, sorry what I meant to ask was are those takamine stock strings?

[quonsetsun]

Taks come with D'Addario strings, if I'm not mistaken.

[LPFan3118]

Please somebody tell me the name of this song!

Thanks!

[Tiroock]

yeah, i've got this guitar but with a cool tube the TF261SAN and you be sur to it's a great guitar !

You can see my guitar on my video ;)

[armen47]

Hi Tiroock, Just wanted to know how your TF261SAN sound like when played unplugged?

[Tiroock]

hi, the sound is very good, it is clear and precise but this is my opinion, I think you have to try before you buy ;)

[armen47]

I appreciate your response. I will definitely try before I buy, thanks.

[Tiroock]

Okay, no probleme ;)

Great guitar - what strings was Brad using on this guitar for the demonstration?

[siglermusic]

Those were just the stock strings that are shipped with a new Takamine. Light gauge. He usually plays with mediums, but these demos were all done with stock guitars, straight off of the retail showroom wall. I will ask the folks at Takamine what strings they ship their guitars with and post it for you when I know for sure. Thanks for the interest!

@kinnikudavid Takamine is shipping guitars with D'addario EXP strings gauge 11-52, like Fender and Ibanez guitars.

[Ottawarocket]

[siglermusic]

what's the name of that first song he play??

beautiful guitar :D

[tifreee]

is don't EF261SAn but is TF261SAN ;)

i buy this guitare and I'm crazy about this guitare ^^

[Shtrud1]

The only difference between EF and TF - the T-series have COOL TUBE preamp installed. So this is EF because of CT4B preamp.

[tifreee]

yes is true ;) sorry

[Bigturns33]

I own it and love it but im selling it to get me a Korg Triton. Selling it on Ebay.

[stevo660]
