A modern acoustic design electrified with a premium preamp.

The NEX body style offers superior sound and comfortable play. The solid bear claw spruce top creates a resonant soundboard while the solid Indian rosewood back and sides project beautifully. The ebony fingerboard has tasteful abalone snowflakes complemented by abalone binding and rosette inlays.

The CTP-1 Cool Tube preamp houses a a 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube for lush, warm sound. The tube runs at only 2-3 degrees above ambient temperature, so there is no concern over radiant heat. Its tuner can be calibrated from A438 to A445. An LED display reveals the note being played and directs the player with illuminated arrows that show sharp and flat. The EQ section has a shelving graphic EQ for bass and treble and semi-parametric EQ to set the mid point of the midrange frequency. A Cool Tube knob controls the impact of the tube. An auxiliary input jack and volume knob can control an additional add-on pickup of your choice and can accept a magnetic sound hole pickup, or a soundboard transducer. An AUX control knob blends the add-on signal with the Takamine pickup. A switch matches varying outputs of different pickups with the preamp. The output volume slider can then control the blended signal. The CTP-1 is powered by 4 AA batteries, which will deliver approximately 24 hours of playing time.

I own Martins, Taylors, Tacomas and other Takamines and let me tell you this guitar sings. The guitar is top quality all the way and it resonates beyond belief. The preamp is hands down the best available. The cool tube is a piece of genious that must be heard to be believed.I am a professional guitar repair tech and I see every guitar that comes down the pike. This is the one to own if you can only own 1 acoustic. You rarely see these in a store, but if you do you owe it to yourself to try one.

This guitar is breath taking. I looked at Taylors, and Martins, but this guitar beat'em all out in price and sound. Its a dream to play and coupled with my Marshall AS50R, its nothing short of phenominal. Buy this guitar...you won't ever want to play anything else again.
