Electro-acoustic with dreadnought body shape that is a special expression of more than 50 years of tradition and craftsmanship instilled in the talented builders who create Takamine Guitars. The fingerboard and pickguard are artfully adorned with delicate imagery of the flower called RENGE-SO which symbolizes the Gigu Prefecture in Central Japan. This flower grows at the foot of the Takamine mountain, which provided the original inspiration for the Takamine Guitar name and has long served as its ancestral home. The graceful RENGE-SO adorns this elegantly appointed instrument with the spirit of Takamine and its Japanese homeland. This guitar is built in limited quantity with a combination of design and features that will never be duplicated. It features solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with gloss finish, ebony fingerboard with RENGO-SO (green abalone and M.O.P.) inlays, blue wood purfling and Takamine’s CTP-3 Cool Tube preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response. The dual-channel system provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added), and an onboard chromatic tuner. Nut width is 42.5 mm. The guitar comes supplied with a GC500 case. Gloss Black finish.
