Takamine Company History
Author:
Courstesy of Takmine
Innovations and Advancements
Takamine made great advancements with their palethetic pickup, and set
the standard for the
industry. Other
manufacturers soon offered acoustic/electric models, but
none has reached the level
of sophistication and performance set by Takamine. Our Takamine pickup
is like no other. It's an integral part of the guitar's design, not a
retrofit like most other "factory" systems. Six individual piezo
transducers are embedded in the bridge plate where they sense both
string and soundboard vibration.
Takamine also pioneered the slider control preamp style for the
acoustic/electric guitar. No other guitar company had the technological
advancements that Takamine set in place, and to this day no other guitar
company can achieve that level of quality in the market.
