Electric acoustic guitar equipped with the latest vacuum tube preamplifier CTP-3 (TDP)!

The original BODY SHAPE has a smart look that doesn't make you feel bulky, even though it has plenty of capacity.

The BODY has veneer on the TOP/BACK and plywood on the SIDE, making it ideal for electric acoustics. The TOP uses spruce, and the SIDE/BACK uses sapele.

Non-scalloped X bracing is applied, and beautiful abalone is used for the rosette.

The double saddle and asymmetric NECK grip are familiar to Takamine guitars♪

The scale is 644mm, and the nut width is 42mm, which is slim, but has a good thickness, and the asymmetrical NECK (asymmetrical) gives it excellent sound and playability!

BODY/NECK both have a glossy gloss finish.

The preamp is equipped with a CTP-3 (TDP), and by driving the vacuum tube with a low voltage of 6V (4 AA batteries), the heat generated during operation is suppressed, and it can be mounted on the guitar body. This is Takamine's latest preamplifier. The warm, harmonic-rich sound produced by using vacuum tubes in the amplification circuit is capable of expressing the natural sound of an acoustic. In addition to COOL TUBE, which adjusts the drive rate of the vacuum tube, there is also a FREQ (frequency) control that allows you to set the frequency to be corrected with MID control. Equipped with a NOTCH filter that can arbitrarily cut howling points and a variety of control functions. Also equipped with a convenient tuner function!

The power of this model is demonstrated when plugged into an amplifier! The midrange sounds pleasantly♪
