I had a lawsuit takamine I loved. Solid spruce too, lammy maple b/s, it was my main one guitar from age 17-23. One night, I came home from a party on dead of winter. I had played the Tak during the day and left it out on a bay window couch. I remember going to sleep thinking, dang it’s cold tonight. I didn’t know any better. In wee hours of morning, I hear this loud pop. No clue what it was, maybe I was dreaming, so I went back to bed. Next morning, I go over to the Tak, and the neck had split away from itself. That was the end of that guitar.
I didn’t have a guitar for a while after that, till a buddy helped me get a Pete Townsend Schecter. Didn’t play acoustic again several years. I traded that Shecter in for a 12 string, then, shortly thereafter, a Martin D-35.
