Description
Takamine THE 60TH Limited Edition Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar with a solid highly figured Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, a mahogany neck, an ebony fingerboard, and a gloss natural finish.
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I started as a studio musician in Los Angeles, and now I run Terry Carter Music Store and a music education platform that has taught thousands of students how to play.
THE 60TH is Takamine's 60th anniversary guitar, limited to 60 individually numbered guitars worldwide. Its body shape is based on an early Takamine design that adapted a classical body to an x-braced concert steel-string guitar, with a distinctive cutaway added. A three-piece bracing of ebony sandwiched between spruce, hand-shaped by Takamine's master luthiers to reduce weight by more than 20%, lets the koa top vibrate freely. A genuine diamond is set into the headstock, and the guitar ships in a special hard case.
