That sparkling spruce sound...

It's like no other. This solid tonewood makes for the perfect soundboard, immersing you in sheer sonic beauty that encompasses gorgeous clarity, exquisite dynamics, and a beautifully balanced response. Spruce really has no downfall. Project every note to the back of the room, powered by immense volume and ringing out with constant articulation, it's the ultimate acoustic sound.

Laminated maple back and sides then balance out the sound of this dazzling acoustic perfectly, enriching it with brightness and volume. Glistening clarity and a gorgeously tight tone are produced by maple, whilst minimal feedback ensures that only immaculate acoustic goodness is heard. What's more, maple's quick note decay and astounding articulation separate the notes of even the thickest of chords, so you can count on supreme definition, whatever you play.

Dazzling dreadnought shape

Delve into a rich, classic dreadnought voice. It has stood the test of time and is still the go-to for many guitarists today. With this Takamine wonder, you'll immediately come to see why the dreadnought is so cherished, and you'll be promised the depth and richness that comes with it. Explore a resonant low range and top end shimmer, immerse yourself in incredible tonal versatility, and experience the kind of wondrous dynamics that go hand in hand with the articulate tone of spruce.

Built for mesmerising performances

This striking acoustic is equipped with CT4B II electronics, a system that is used on Takamine's premium instruments to provide glistening amplification. Sculpt your sound via the 3-band EQ and achieve a wonderfully unique tone that is perfectly shaped to your taste, none of the beautiful sonic qualities of spruce and maple will be compromised. And to ensure every note is immaculate, there is a handy tuner installed on the preamp.

Understated beauty

Takamine's acoustics need no fancy embellishments. Such quality craftsmanship is evident all on its own, and this gem of a dreadnought is no different. An eye catching black, high gloss finish coats the guitar, giving it an overall striking aesthetic that puts a spin on the timeless beauty of spruce and maple. A simple yet elegant soundhole rosette then adorns the top, whilst a sleek pickguard blends seamlessly into the endearing, black backdrop. Dazzling details are also found in the form of minimalist dot inlays, white binding, and chrome tuners, all demonstrating Takamine's finesse and guitar-making expertise.
