(I fear some people will declare me crazy from now on  )
On several sites is is said that Lene's first guitar was a Takamine, model EF-2SBL. Only, I can't find any information about that model anywhere. The only thing remotly close is this: http://www.takamine.com/?fa=detail&mid=151&sid=352 a Takamine model EF261SBL. I know it's a smal detail .
More links I found: http://www.musiciansbuy.com/TAKAMINE_EF261SBL_GUITAR_W_FREE_OFFER.html and http://theguitarfactory.com/itempage.php?recnum=2510&title=Takamine_EF261SBL.

Yes, i've seen the black Takamine many, many times. In fact i've only seen the yellow guitar once... i'm not sure if it were really her who was in the picture, but it was labelled as a Lene picture, so i'm a little confused...
But i'm probably wrong, anyhow, since the only guitar i've ever seen her holding is the black Takamine. I remember it very strongly from European-US.  Her best video ever!
 Eyes that sparkle deeds in dust,
Silent leaving of love and lust.
Hope still flickering in abused feelings,
Incessant words that give few meanings...
Thoughts of melancholy quietly dwell,
Hypnotised movements under a spell.
Courteous blinking in haughty air,
Coddled warmth in gracious flair... |

1. Beware when you buy guitars. Many of them might look like Takamines but they aren't; they're given weird names like "Pyramid" or something; they are NOT Takamines.
2. I recommend you find a proper music shop, not the internet. But that's really your choice.
I wasn't planning on buying a guitar on the internet. There's a very good music shop nearby. They sell Takamine guitars but they have never heard about a model EF-2SBL. I couldn't find that model on Takamine's site either. So I thought it might have been a model EF261SBL. This model looks a lot like the one Lene's playing at the time of PMG.

I don't know where i've seen it, but i have. I've seen a photo of Lene in a bar, holding a really large yellow guitar that was way too big for her, trying to sing on stage. She was standing, and she was about the age of when she released US. The picture was taken with flash, and so you can't really see her very well... could that be her first guitar instead? I thought that this Takamine was her second, or something...
I'm not sure about the guitar. The story about the black Takamine guitar she got from her parents is one that keeps coming back and has been going around for several years now. There are a lot of photo's of her with that guitar, including singles video captures of US, SDH and WIH http://lene.futuredt.com/gallery/videocaptures.

[EDIT] By the way, Merry... looking back, i really do think that you are mad! 
Poor Lene has a fan who's really mad.
