SINGER/SONGwRITER

If you and your songs are center stage, you owe it to yourself
to audition the Takamine Singer/Songwriter. It’s voiced to 
complement and support the vocal range, with a balance and 
sweetness that will give your songs extra dimension.

FINGERSTyLE

 

Our latest contribution to the world of fingerstyle. The wide neck 

gives your right hand fingers some room to dance, and the 12-fret 

body puts the bridge in the sweet spot of the lower bout for added 
fullness and depth.
