Back in 1993, Takamine released a very special new model—the ESF-93. This guitar was a special limited-edition that celebrated the vibrant art and culture of the American Southwest. That instrument helped launch one of Takamine's most beloved series of all time, the Santa Fe series.

Today, thirty years later, Takamine celebrates the Santa Fe guitars with a very special LTD2023 Santa Fe 30th Anniversary model.

This limited production NEX-sized cutaway features a solid cedar top which is paired with beautifully figured silky oak on the back and sides. The ebony fingerboard is inlaid in turquoise in a Santa Fe motif. The turquoise rosette is striking in its southwestern style and intricacy. Turquoise purfling and a turquoise colored Takamine logo on the headstock round out these special appointments. In a nod to the original Santa Fe models, a pinless split-saddle bridge is featured.

Ease of amplification is achieved through Takamine's Palathetic pickup system and the new retro-inspired CTF-2N preamp.

The guitar comes with a special Santa Fe themed Takamine guitar strap and a semi-hard Takamine case.
