Guitar of the Month: Limited Edition EF7M-LS

The Takamine EF7M-LS is in our Limited Edition series for a reason. This OM-style guitar has a top made of Lutz spruce… a natural hybrid spruce from the Northwest that grows between stands of Sitka spruce and Canadian white spruce. The sound reminds us of some of the best qualities of legendary Adirondack spruce, while being a bit more dynamically forgiving. Paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, along with Takamine’s legendary electronics, this is one of the finest guitars you might ever own.
