  • A good look at Takamine's GD51 Dreadnought and pick up.
    Chords and lyrics for demo song:-
    A E F#m D
    Oh my Lord hear my prayer, See the weeping
    A E A E
    of my eyes and the yearning of my heart.
    A E F#m D A
    With these lips I now declare this one truth that never dies
    E A
    O my God how great you are.
    D E F#m D D E A
    Mountains tremble, oceans roar, empires tumble to the ground
    D E F#m D D E D E
    Yet the tender broken heart finds such mercy in the sound
    A
    Of your praise.

      Jesus kuranda da sıkça geçen bir peygamber. Ölmeden önce kuranda Jesus nasıl anlatılıyor mutlaka okuyunuz. Tanrı sizi kutsasın Jesus islamda da geçen çok önemli bir peygamber ❤

    Takamine's own website for current GD51 production -all models, states Laurel for the fingerboard. Images present the fingerboard shade identical to the one you are holding. Previous years' production is anyone's guess.

    HI again John - (Alan Sturgess here, I often used to comment when I signed on using my other channel).
    Another great demo. Lovely sounding instrument. These days, dreadnoughts are just too big to be comfortable for me. I used to play an Eko Ranger 12 string which had the added quality of being heavy - but it had a great sound. These days I prefer 3/4 sizes or parlours like the Fender PM-2E which is a beauty. (try one if you ever get the chance).
    The EQ side of things for the Takamine sounds very natural. Your demo of various settings was especially interesting. I loved the 'mid range max' setting - very rich and yet also clear.
    Bell rung on this channel as well. I always enjoy your gentle style of review. Cheers.

      Yes I too find myself using smaller and smaller instruments. For my next video I will be showing how to make a nylon string thing out of a 12 string Telecaster kit!

      @@JohnCouplandguitar S'truth!!! I've recently seen some uploads by a chap who fits nylon strings to a Strat and plays it acoustically - really surprising.
      I've seen but never played as Tele 12.
      Ever since 1963 I've had a 12 string until very recently when I donated my Taylor 562ce to my local hospice for them to sell via their eBay shop. However, I can't really do without a 12 so I'll have a JHS Vintage 'Paul Brett' 12 instead.
      A nylon Tele 12 . . . are you looking for Legendary status or is this an alternative to you previous upload about solutions for older players with less-than-nimble fingers?

    It is a great guitar and thanks for this awesome review. Do you think there is a similiar sounding guitar as a straight upgrade?

    • @JohnCouplandguitar
      @JohnCouplandguitar  2 роки тому +1

      The cheeper Taks are made in the same plant as Yamahas so the Yamamha FG830 is quite similar but lacks the pick up. (I once unpacked a new Yamaha only to find it had a Takamine sticker on the scratch plate!)

    This guitar would be suitable for Johnny Cash songs too.

  • @theblytonian3906
    @theblytonian3906 2 роки тому +3

    Personal preference, detest playing Dreadnoughts. That said, does Takamine make a guitar in any segment that isn't relatively desirable vs alternatives if one's budget extends there? Can't fault the tone or volume of the GD51.

      I find a big guitar useful for church as the twit on the desk only remembers to fade me up around verse 2.

    Hi Sir I have a question. The chords that you use for testing the guitar, are those just a random chords you use or it's a song from other artist?

    • @JohnCouplandguitar
      @JohnCouplandguitar  2 роки тому +1

      Because of copyright laws I never use other artist's work. As I am often asked this question I have made a video explaining what they are. ua-cam.com/video/du-X5wR1h0A/v-deo.html

    Probably a good guitar, I'm just not a fan of the resonance in it, which makes or brakes an acoustic. The after taste is somehow wrong. But then again I*m an idiot.
