Electronics
Of high importance to Takamine is creating the technology which allows a plugged in acoustic guitar to sound like an unplugged acoustic guitar.
The main advancement in achieving this was the development of the palathetic pickup in 1978 - a ground breaking device which allows optimal transference of the vibration from the guitar to the circuitry of the preamp.
After that, every effort has been made to be at the very fore of preamp technology, ensuring that Takamine guitars are the best sounding that money can buy.
