        <![CDATA[ Checked the archives and found some sound samples and one sale (now over).  Anyone else have experience with this model.  Guy at a store (Evansville) wants to
sell me one for $1499.  Too much for me.  I realize that&#39;s a good going price, but i&#39;d have to let go of  some cheap dreads I have and the Tak $100
rebate in a combined effort to somehow make it possible. 


How does the Tak stand up to Blueridge and Martin models?  That is the question.   I&#39;ve read comments about the wider... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;I think he&#39;ll like it&quot;   Sure hope so!   At the moment, shipment is delayed...I ordered a case for it, and the area supplier was out of stock,
so they are waiting for one from Ca.   As Tom Petty says...&quot;the waiting is the hardest part...&quot;
<br>
<br>
There is a bridge defect on it.  Apparently, the Low E is closer to the edge of the fingerboard than the High E.   He says intonation is fine.  Will have the
local guy I met take a look at it when I get it.

<br>
I wanted a Stanford and it seemed to be my best (only) option at the time...

Steve&#39;s last one (a return from over a month ago). I know because BJ&#39;s been PM&#39;ing me with questions about Stanfords etc..... I think he&#39;ll
like it.

  Not to thrash the Tak, but I ordered a PSD10. I think that gives you a clue what I was (am ) looking for. Saw (and heard) too many convinceng audio and video

You must live &quot;across the pond&quot; then. Good for you! Looking forward to your review when it arrives.

played. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If you look hard you can find them used for under $1K. One of our members here sold a Bluegrass Tak for under $700 in the classifieds several weeks ago. No
personal experience with them as they are uncommon at the Tak retailers I&#39;ve visited in NY but I know at least a few members here have played and owned
them. Likely more on the AGF. BTW here is the old ad I mentioned........

<a target="_blank" href="http://theunofficialblueridgeguitarforum18213.yuku.com/topic/4592">http://theunofficialbluer...8213.yuku.com/topic/4592</a> Apparently he deleted the
asking price after he sold it but it was no more than $700 and in good shape.
