Couldn't do it in one, but here are two that cover the range… including the Michael Kerry 612-like custom build and the Takamine F-395MS

Drool…

That is what dreams are made of right there!

I would LOVE to hear a sound comparison or at least a description of the differences between the F312, F212, and G312.

Takamine, Morris and others made extremely close copies of Martins, Guilds and Gibsons in the ‘70s. In some cases they not only looked the same but had better tone. That’s what led to the ‘70s so-called “lawsuit era” guitar period. No actual lawsuits were filed, and when the US manufacturers showed up at a NAMM show with cease and desist orders, Takamine and Morris had already changed their logos to the ones they still use today. Here’s a few examples…
