The Limited Edition Takamine 2009 Model was so popular and so well received that Takamine was overcome by phone calls and e-mails by guitar players pleading not to let it go out of production. Since that defied the idea of a limited edition guitar, Takamine actually did one better - behold the EF450DLX.
Takamine's EF450DLX is simply a beautiful guitar. The woods uses are absolutely top-notch, the hardware is ornate and the inlay work is simply sublime. The guitar includes a discreet electronics system, so the tonewoods are all instact. This guitar uses the Takamine Palathetic Pickup with a TLD Line Driver - designed for the ultimate in tonal balance, all the way down the fretboard.
Simply put, the EF450 DLX is just about as close to perfect as a guitar can get. Finely crafted by the expert luthiers at Takamine.
