Takamine Custom Shop SG-CPD-AC1 Solid Adirondack Spruce Acoustic Guitar
The Custom Shop SG-CPD-AC1 is built for gigging musicians and serious collectors who demand a dreadnought that cuts through a mix and responds to every nuance of your playing. The one-piece mahogany neck and solid construction deliver the kind of stability and sustain that makes this guitar feel like an extension of your hands, with refined geometry that rewards extended playing sessions without fatigue. The matching Cocobolo headstock top announces the instrument's pedigree the moment it hits the stage—this performs as commanding as it looks.
Tonewood & Construction
Built entirely from premium materials, the solid Adirondack spruce top is the same aged tonewood found on collectible high-end guitars, capable of developing richer complexity with years of playing. Paired with solid Cocobolo back and sides, this combination delivers the articulate highs and punchy lows that cut live and project naturally without amplification, while introducing the striking visual warmth that only this exotic wood provides. The one-piece mahogany neck requires substantial material and appears exclusively on custom-grade instruments, ensuring the structural integrity and tonal transfer that separates a reliable gigging instrument from the rest.
Appointments & Electronics
The double hearts abalone inlays are a rare specification—reportedly found on only one other Takamine model outside Japan—making this a genuinely distinctive instrument that stands out both visually and tonally. The flamed maple binding frames both top and back, while the ebony fretboard and gloss natural finish complete an instrument designed for players who appreciate both aesthetics and acoustic performance. Electronics include a TLD-2 pre-amp for amplified playing, and the guitar ships with a hard case and optional pick guard.
