Description
From the master craftsmen at Takamine's pro series facility comes the EF381C 12-String Guitar, a product of over five decades of exceptional guitar manufacturing. This versatile 12-string dreadnought is as dynamic as it is beautiful, featuring a solid cedar top that can gracefully transition from soft, mellow passages to robust power chords.
The guitar boasts a gloss black finish, which not only provides an aesthetic appeal but also enhances its stage presence. Complementing the cedar top, the laminated maple back and sides act as a perfect reflector for the tone generated by the soundboard, resulting in a rich and full-bodied sound.
The mahogany neck is coupled to the body with a traditional, ultra-strong dovetail joint, ensuring durability and stability. Enhancing the guitar's amplified response is Takamine's unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup, which when paired with the CT4B II preamp system, provides an unparalleled amplified sound quality.
Key Features: - Solid Cedar top - Gloss black finish - Mahogany neck with a traditional dovetail joint - Laminated Maple back and sides - Takamine's CT4B II preamp system - Palathetic under-saddle pickup - Three-band EQ, volume control, and built-in tuner - Case included
