One of the most reasonably-priced and accessible distributors online with excellent service, Thomann has really impressed me. The item was packed relatively well, the hardcase has some nicks in the exterior but I don't mind much since it definitely did its job as the guitar inside was in excellent condition!
Out of the case, I was surprised with the craftsmanship and playability of the P3NY as is -- a testament to Takamine Japan's quality control. This has been my dream guitar on paper for some time, and I was hesitant to get one sight unseen, but all the online reviews seem to be consistent and accurate with the praises. Looks beautiful with its understated features (the devil is in the details) and the neck is comfortably thick and still v easy to fret with. The sound is warm but not boxy, v touch sensitive and can be bright if you need with a pick, it's mid-forward but still lots of clarity across the strings (the audio clips on Thomann are good samples).
Overall, it's been hard putting it down! Really pretty hardcase too, it's a joy to store and bring out the guitar. The P3NY is perfect for bedroom playing and for recording, but its pickup is v versatile and would cover gigging needs as well. Amazing value for money; this one is a keeper that'll be a lifelong companion and inspiration!
