The body of the EF508KC has been crafted entirely from koa, a tonewood with rich Hawaiian heritage. Its tone is majestic, encompassing wondrous textures, gorgeously rich harmonies, and glistening articulation. Better still, you'll also have a sublime balance of warmth and brightness. But the true beauty of koa can be found in its ever-growing sonic capabilities, something which will stick with you for years to come. The more you play, the more your sound will open up, promising a lifetime of its organic Hawaiian nature.
Not only have Takamine chosen to use a tonewood that delvers pure excellence with every strum, but the experts have also sculpted it into their revolutionary NEX shape. It's the ultimate producer of rich, authentic acoustic sound. Similar to the grand auditorium, the NEX has a bold, silky-smooth voice with plenty of versatility. From thick chords to delicate picking, you'll be able to play pretty much anything.
It's not just superb sound that the NEX body shape offers, but also luscious playability. Thanks to its nipped-in waist, scaled down size, and handy cutaway, this guitar allows for supremely comfortable playing and easy access to the top frets of the rosewood fingerboard. Prepare for an effortless performance, every time.
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.
