Preamble
Work done on this Indonesian Takamine ED2NC acoustic-electric beauty included fretboard reconditioning, restring/tune; and setup. The owner also needed a fix for the D, A and low E machine heads (tuners) as they were somehow missing their nylon washers. Turns out he bought it (used) that way. Shame on the seller for taking advantage of an inexperienced player!
Fixed the tuner problem somewhat by substituting Vape machine OCC (Organic Cotton Coil) silicone ring washers for their missing nylon counterparts (I've also used this solution while restoring an SX Standard Series Strat-Style guitar). Gave him a packet of spares just in case, and treated him to one of my three-minute sermons. I don't think he'll be buying his next used guitar without checking the condition of the tuners first.
To be fair, other than the tuner issue; this baby was in good condition, the electronics worked; and it sounded great either amplified or on its own. Click HERE to watch a YouTube review of the Takamine ED2NC by Melodramatic Music Store.
Last but not least, let's take a look at some specs; courtesy of Rockshop New Zealand. Sad to say, there isn't any information on the ED2NC or D Series at the official Takamine website. I guess they're not manufacturing them any more.
