Hand-crafted of all-solid woods by a special team
at Takamine, Nashville models are as close to a luthier-built instrument as you
will find from an international guitarmaker.
The tops are solid, hand-selected "bear claw"
spruce which creates a rare, naturally occurring pattern. Each soundboard is
individually voiced to maximize its power and dynamic range.
The back and sides are solid, bookmatched Indian
Rosewood, chosen for both its appearance and acoustic integrity. The ebony
fingerboard is fitted with nickel silver frets, leveled and finished by hand for
perfect playability and intonation. The soundhole and perimeter of the top are
inlaid with hundreds of pieces of beautiful abalone shell.
