... or Takamine TAN15C or GB7C [in this case the guitar woods will be the same but the Takamines does not have solid sides and are twice cheaper to the BR)
I’ve just heard the another comparison by the author (BR vs Ibanez [really dislike the brand & the instrument]) and it’s obvious that these comparisons are some kind of tricky marketing moves $-) (LOOK how we (our guitars) sound better!)
Very decent instruments. The Baton Rouge really amaze me by the sound quality. But … slightly incorrect comparison, but namely:
1. Takamine is $600-800 and the BR is $2700 guitar [triple higher price range]
2. Takamine has mahogany back & sides (solid back) & BR has rosewood [Palisander] ones [all solid]
The more right comparison would be the BR Texas Mike vs Takamine TF430SS [regarding, more or less, resemblance of prices ranges, quality of production and timber]
i owned the ean10c, i persoally think it has the balance tone between of bass and treble, this is prob due to the combination of cedar top and mahogany back n sides. Baton sounds good to with deep treble sound too.. i reckon both will work wonders plug or unplug.
@elbatiscafo You can, but you shouldn't. Steel string guitars are made for steel strings in every detail. If you put nylon strings, first, the neck is narrower and it'll be more difficult to play with it, since nylon strings are ticker than steel ones. Second of all, the sound won't be like the sound of a classical, but VERY. . . dull.
I think it would be worthwhile holding onto the EANs, because they've changed the model to ETN now and I am not sure if they still have the mahogany back and sides. EANs I reckon will be a sort after guitar in a few years.
Both sound good. I have a Tak EAN10CTBS and it speaks to me - I keep turning around to see who is talking to me. What is the price range for the Baton Rouge? The Takamine EAN30C would be an interesting comparison, but it is a cutaway, and might sound a little more boxy than this - I think that happens a bit when they put the cutaways on the smaller body guitars.
Woooow, this takamine guitar sucks beside the Baton Rouge OMG. Were can i get one of these master pieces, damm, fu**ing great sound, Rock'n Roll !!!!!!!!!!!! yeahhhhhhhhh
Really? I won't deny the BRTM sounds great, but it's not better (or worse) than the Takamine EAN10C. Obviously, the sound different. If I see right, the BRTM is a Cedar Top, just like the Tak, but the Tak is more bassy and tends to sound more midrange (close to a Martin sound). The BRTM is more trebly (like a Gibson or a Taylor) and it's not a cutaway. It's a matter of taste. For me, well, I own a Tak EAN10C and it serves me very well.
I've been playing guitar for 20 years, specially acoustics. I specially love cedar tops over spruce, even if cedar is a softer wood and therefore more prone to scratches and dings. Also, both guitars are different in size and models. The EAN10C is a dreadnought and quite thick, which goes very well with strumming, but the cedar makes a great fingerpicker. The Baton Rouge is smaller, slimmer, and many fingerpickers use smaller guitars.

Tell that to John Frusciante then... He seems to do quite well as a guitarist

I agree with you to 100 %, but I am totaly in love with the BR guitar.
And yes, it's cedar top. You know a lot about guitars!?
