I'm looking for a thin body-narrow nut classical with built in electronics, have any of you played the Takamine TSP148NC, Thinline Acoustic-Electric Nylon string?
I have a few traditional classicals but I want something for standing while playing latin or bossa nova.
Thanks

I’ve never played them, but I knew a guy who used to gig in La Crosse when I lived there who played a Godin, then upgraded to a Sadowsky. I thought the Godin sounded very good, but the Sadowsky was incredible.

Thanks Dr Jeff,
But I am looking for something that has a bit more depth (not a solid body) with some acoustic properties.
So far I've tried the Cordoba 55FCE Negra Ziricote which had too many bright overtones for what I do, I felt like I had to mute the strings constantly after playing licks up the neck.Last edited by Noto; 05-15-2021 at 06:14 PM.

Haven't tried the Takamine but have used the Yamaha NTX700 extensively. I highly recommend it. Plays great, sounds really good on stage and in the studio, plugged in and acoustically.
Narrower neck, cutaway, thinline and really good balance.
They made a few models of this design but this is the least expensive I believe. About $500

Thanks Jimmy, I tried one of those at GC before the pandemic and it sounded a bit electronic, but maybe it was just that the strings were dead.
They have a new NTX series coming out that I am curious about but the the release date has been delayed.

I'm not sure who is a dealer now though.
