It is without doubt that Takamine owes it’s recognition largely to the electro acoustic guitar, but that is not to say that they don’t make great acoustic guitars. Far from it, in fact. If a guitar does not sound good unplugged, then it is unlikely that any preamp or pickup combination will make it sound good when plugged in.

Using the finest stocks of wood, all carefully seasoned, Takmine go to extreme lengths to ensure that their guitars are among the best you will find. With each guitar consisting of around 40 components and going through 20 multifunction workstations, Takamine utilise the very latest in CNC (computer numerically controlled) and CAD (computer aided design) technologies in conjunction with the finest traditions of luthiery to ensure that each guitar sounds as good as it looks.

The combination of modern and traditional methods is what makes Takamine guitars great.
