2010. I was ready to buy an acoustic guitar again, I'd been playing electric for years and didn't have one. I went to my nearby Guitar Center and played in their acoustic room for about four hours one day; I played everything from a $99 Epiphone to $4,000 Gibsons and Taylors. I ended up buying a Takamine EG363SC for about $450 (I wish they still made them, I would buy it again).. This model is almost exactly the same but mine didn't have a pickguard. I kept coming back to its sound. It sounded absolutely angelic. Very bright, good lows and excellent mid-range, too. I sold it six years later so I could save up to get a new Les Paul, which I love for sure; but I wish I still had THAT Takamine. It was perfect. When I buy acoustic again I will probably buy a Takamine, at least that is what I will seriously look at first. Super well-made.
