CP6SSDC and CP5D OAD Limited Edition Models

Our two latest editions to our Limited Edition Series have at least one thing in common: they both make use of Adirondack spruce tops, with the resulting magic that happens when they’re played. The CP6SSDC is a slope-shoulder dreadnought that comes in a terrific cherry sunburst finish, while the CP5D OAD is an elegantly classic dreadnought with wonderful appointments. Both of these limited-edition models are designed for serious players who want no compromise in the sound or feel of their guitars.

TT “Thermal Top” Series Additions: EF360SC TT and EF400SC TT

Takamine’s acclaimed “Thermal Top” TT Series guitar series takes a step up with the new EF360SC TT and EF400SC TT. Both guitars use our technology in which the spruce wood for the guitar tops are baked in an oxygen-free vacuum environment. The result is the highly-desirable tone that a musician expects from a much older instrument in a brand new guitar. These new models offer solid Indian rosewood backs and Takamine’s exceptional CT4B-II electronics to take your studio sound to the stage.
