Takamine Guitars News (May 2021)

Guitar of the Month:
Limited Edition EF7M-LS

The “LS” in this outstanding guitar’s name stands for “Lutz spruce”, a hybrid wood from the Pacific 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, this OM-style guitar has a very special place in the Takamine Limited Edition Series. Get it before it’s gone!
