Guitar of the Month: Thermal Top Series EF740FS TT

The EF740FS TT is a special guitar in more ways than one. As part of our Thermal Top Series, it offers great played-in sound right out of the box, much like a fine vintage instrument. Its solid sapele back and sides combine with a 12-fret neck joint to offer a warm and articulate timbre, and its distinctive slot headstock offers that traditional appeal you love from classic guitar designs. Plus, it has Takamine’s TLD-2 Line Driver preamp and legendary Palathetic pickup system, so it’s stage ready from the get-go. Great for acoustic blues, fingerstyle and more, this is a guitar that would be a huge asset to any instrument arsenal!

Album Spotlight: Listen by Kyshona

Singer-songwriter and Takamine player Kyshona Armstrong adopted a personal mission statement: “To be a voice and vessel for those that feel lost, forgotten, silenced or hurting.” That sense of compassion and empathy surges throughout Listen, an awesome 10-song offering that Rolling Stone calls “a tour-de-force southern roots hybrid of rock, pop, and R&B that alternates between bluesy despair and gospel-filled resilience”. Kyshona’s number-one acoustic guitar is the Takamine EF360SC TT from our Thermal Top Series.

Limited Edition LTD2020 Peace: Still Available, but Going Fast

As all serious Takamine fans know, our annual limited-edition “LTD” guitar is made in very small quantities and represents a terrific investment for instrument collectors. 2020 might not have been as peaceful thus far as we’d have preferred, but this beautiful concert-sized guitar might make life a little better with its intricate olive branch and dove motif inlaid into the fingerboard using multi-colored stone and shell, and a solid spruce top that’s stained a lovely Green Tea color that is unique and organic. LTD2020 Peace models are still available, but won’t be for long.
