The Takamine EG530SC is a Solid-top guitar featuring their TK4NT preamp with a tunable notch filter, switchable midrange contour and on-board tuner.

The Takamine TK-4N Preamplifier found on G-Series guitars features volume control, bass, middle and treble frequency slider controls, EQ bypass, a Notch Filter and a Mid Contour Switch.The notch control provides control of the center frequency of the notch effect. When the monitor or stage levels are too high, and the user hears the guitar starting to feed back, the player can engage the notch circuitry by pushing the "In/Out" button under the "Notch Filter" knob, and simply tune the filter (actually changing the center frequency of the notch) by slowly rotating the notch control until the feedback is eliminated.

Tuner: The tuner in the TK4N-T is fully chromatic and automatic. Press the tuner switch to activate it. The note is displayed by the lower row of LEDs with the "#" sign to indicate accidentals. The upper row of three LEDs indicates if the string is in tune with the large green LED in the center being "in tune". The unit does not turn off automatically so the center LED will blink as a reminder if the tuner is left on.

The Yamaha APX700 electro acoustic guitar has a thinner profile than the CPX series with a body depth of 80-90mm compared to the CPX's 95-115mm. Both series use the Yamaha 1-way Acoustic Resonance Transducer System pickup system.

Yamaha's A.R.T. Acoustic Resonance Transducer silver control panel 1-way Acoustic Resonance Tranducer found on the APX700 uses a dual piezo transducer under the saddle . Unlike convention piezo pickups, the ART uses multiple layers of different damping materials between the under side of the guitar's topboard and the piezo crystal to dampen excessive vibrations which can cause distortion. The peizo remains responsive to small resonances, and achieves ideal sensitivity and dynamics for a natural acoustic tone even when amplified.

The APX700 includes an on-board tuner and 3-band EQ. And a APX Mother Of Pearl logo on the headstock.

From the Ibanez Exotic Wood series, the EW20ASE NT features a unique body shape with quilted ash top, back and sides for exceptional resonance. Electronics provided by an Ibanez B-Band SquealRepeal pickup to minimize feedback for maximum on-stage output. No adjustments or fiddling with controls is required. Plus, built-in tuner equipped on the Ibanez SRT preamp makes tuning on-stage easy. In addition to the 1/4" output jack, a balanced XLR jack is equipped for direct connection to PA. Easy to find AA battery operation would avoid the risk you cannot find replacement battery. The Ibanez EW20ASE NT is an excellent choice for a live performance electro-acoustic.

B-Band transducers use an electret film rather than the piezo pickups found in many electro-acoustic guitars. The result is a more open, transparent sound, without the colouring typcial of piezo pickups. Much like a condenser microphone is more transparent than a dynamic. If you think a piezo pickups sounds artificial, B-Band transducers are a better option.
