The classical slotted headstock adds a timeless aesthetic, while the synthetic bone nut and split bridge saddle ensure precise intonation and sustain.
- Hardware and Electronics: Equipped with the Takamine TP-4TD preamp system, this guitar provides rock-solid amplified performance with a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, and gain controls for versatile sound shaping. Gold die-cast tuners and a laurel headcap add durability and a premium look.
- Finish and Aesthetics: The glossy Natural finish highlights the guitar’s elegant craftsmanship, making it a standout on stage or in the studio, while its compact size ensures super-comfortable playability in any setting.
