Takamine EF360S-TT (Japan)

Price drop from €1300 to €1200. Thinning the herd. Mint condition Japanese-made Takamine with OHSC and case candy. Sold spruce top (thermally treated for an aged tone) and solid rosewood back and sides. Bone nut and saddle. Gotoh open tuners. Has the internal TL2 Line driver pre-amp but no external controls, so the guitar looks like a straight acoustic dreadnought. The big difference between this and other Takamines is that it has a 1 and 3/4 inch nut width (45 mm) plus it has a really full neck profile - think Gibson's 50's Les Paul neck carve - so very different from any previous Takamine that I have ever owned or played. An absolute cannon of a dreadnought - volume wise it blows my Martin away - and plugged in it sounds sublime (like all Takamines). Action is low (2.25 mm at the 12th low E and 2 mm at the top E) and could go lower as there is plenty of adjustment at the saddle.
