Guitar of the Month: Legacy Series TSF48C

Handcrafted in Japan, the TSF48C Santa Fe NEX is part of Takamine’s Legacy Series… instruments that have stood the test of time to become some of the most beloved and popular acoustic-electric guitars in history. This guitar’s southwest Native American theme includes a black crow rosette and eagle fingerboard inlays, paired with a fully bound body and fretboard. When it’s time to get onstage, the TSF48C excels with Takamine's proprietary CTP-3 CoolTube preamp system and Palathetic™ under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response.
