Takamine’s new LTD2014 limited-edition acoustic/electric guitar has a slope-shoulder dreadnought cutaway design with a neck joined at the 12th fret. It combines a solid Sitka spruce top with a flame-maple back and maple sides, Takamine’s dual-channel CT4-DX preamp and Palathetic under-saddle pickup, ivoroid binding with abalone body and headstock purfling, abalone rosette, ebony fingerboard, bone nut, rosewood bridge with split bone saddle, black tuners, and a Black Burst finish. Its fingerboard and pickguard are adorned with imagery of the the snow grouse, or raicho, a bird that inhabits the Hida Mountains, which provided the inspiration for the Takamine name.
