Premium quality sound
The beauty of cedar lies in its ability to make every note ring out with pristine clarity. Perfect for fingerstyle techniques, this tonewood - used for the body top - focuses on quality of sound rather than dynamics. You'll have nuanced capabilities that pick up on even the softest of touches, meaning that delicate and intricate techniques will sound more beautiful than ever. Its dark resonance then provides an enticing undercurrent that you'll want to lose yourself in. Expect warmth and glistening articulation.
Sapele back and sides complement cedar brilliantly. Their full-bodied tonal qualities promise even more richness, whilst wonderful sonic balance ensures you're granted excellence across the whole frequency range.
Innovation at its heart
The P1JC might look like an acoustic that has seen it all, but it has plenty of life in it. This Japanese crafted instrument has been designed to accommodate today's musicians in their ventures to the stage. And when you reach the top, you'll have astounding capabilities at your fingertips that can meet your every demand. Take the rosewood bridge with a split bone saddle, for example. The split saddle design produces immaculate intonation and tuning stability, so you can count on complete accuracy every time you play. The pin-less base of the bridge then allows for quick and easy string changes. In fact, you'll be changing your strings in a fraction of the time it would usually take. This is particularly useful for live gigs as, should your string snap mid song, you'll be able to replace it effortlessly and get back to your mesmerising performance.
The possibilities of the jumbo shape
...they know no bounds. This elegant guitar body produces gorgeously full sound with incredible dynamics, something that pairs beautifully with the precise and nuanced tone of cedar. Experience richness of sound with every strum, the jumbo's exquisite acoustic qualities are louder and more powerful than those of smaller acoustics. For the P1JC, it has been crafted with a smooth, sleek cutaway for seamless access to the top frets.
Take your tone further
This gem of an acoustic is equipped with Takamine's CT4B-II preamp, an electronic system that allows you to tailor your tone to your exact preferences. Achieve pristine signal clarity thanks to the 3-band EQ and tune up quickly and easily with the built-in tuner, you'll have immaculate amplification that is sculpted your own unique way. Whether you're plugged into an amp or PA system, give your sound some extra oomph without sacrificing any natural, acoustic qualities.
