Guitar of the Month: Pro Series P4DC

Have you ever fallen in love with the same person twice? That’s how it felt when we pulled out a Takamine Pro Series P4DC the other day. It had been awhile since we'd pulled it out of the case, and we’d forgotten how great this spruce-topped, sapele-backed cutaway dreadnought sounded and how well it played. All alone in the Pro Series 4, the P4DC offers a rich, warm sound you won’t find in many other guitars.

Spotlight: Limited Edition Series

Here’s something you may not know. Takamine’s Limited Edition Series includes a number of the most outstanding guitars we’ve ever made, and as long as we still have stock around, they’re available for you to purchase. But be aware: as the name implies, they are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
