Electro-acoustic full-sized classical guitar that pays homage to traditional classical instruments and follows closely to the original drawings of Antonio Torres. It is the first choice of performing classical Latin and jazz musicians looking for pure nylon string tone at amplified volume levels. The fan bracing and body shape deliver a clear tone and a strong voice, while the solid cedar top produces a warm full tone with plenty of dynamic range. The solid rosewood back and sides aid in the projection and enhance the sonic brilliance of the instrument. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar. The mahogany neck features a dual action truss rod, which keeps the guitar playing perfectly in any environment, and is fitted with rosewood fingerboard. Nut width is 51 mm. The guitar is equipped with Takamine’s proprietary CTP-3 Cool Tube dual-channel preamp system that 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 on-board chromatic tuner.
