Sound & Tone
The solid Sitka spruce top over solid rosewood back and sides gives this dreadnought a punchy, projecting voice with deep lows and rich overtones, while the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard add warmth to the overall character. Plugged in, the Palathetic under-saddle pickup and CT4B II preamp with three-band EQ and onboard tuner translate that dynamic response into a natural amplified sound with plenty of stage control. The 25.4-inch scale and volume-friendly body suit strummed rhythm work and singer-songwriter accompaniment, especially for players who need clarity and cut in a live mix.

Tone & Electronics
Built with a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, the EF360GF sits in your hands with a strong, punchy voice—deep lows, rich overtones, and clear projection that cuts through a live mix. The dreadnought body shape responds dynamically to your playing and delivers excellent volume without sacrificing nuance, while the CT4B II preamp with Palathetic™ under-saddle pickup system captures your natural amplified tone with a three-band EQ, volume control, and built-in tuner for complete control at the gig.

A comfortable mahogany neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard plays smooth and fast, delivering warm tonal character under your fingers. The 25.4-inch scale length and 1.675-inch nut width sit perfectly in hand for extended sets, while Takamine's Made-in-Japan construction ensures consistent quality night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar truly left-handed, or just a mirror image?
Yes—the EF360GF is a complete left-handed build with the headstock, body, electronics, and hardware all configured for left-handed players. The strings run in reverse order and all controls are positioned accordingly.
What kind of amplified tone can I expect?
The CT4B II preamp with Palathetic under-saddle pickup delivers natural, dynamic amplified tone without piezo harshness. The three-band EQ lets you shape the natural warm character of the spruce-and-rosewood body for different venues and mixes.
Who is this guitar for, and will it work for metal or heavy music?
The EF360GF is designed for singer-songwriters, folk, country, and live acoustic performers who value tone clarity and dynamic response. The warm, punchy dreadnought character is not suited to metal, djent, or heavily distorted styles.
What's included, and what's the build quality like?
The guitar ships with a Takamine SH200A hardshell case and is Made in Japan with solid tonewoods, a mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, bone saddle, and chrome tuners—reflecting Takamine's professional-grade construction standards. Glenn Frey's initials appear inside a circle on the peghead as a signature detail.
How does the neck feel compared to other dreadnoughts?
The 25.4-inch scale and 1.675-inch nut width provide a balanced, comfortable feel that's standard for quality dreadnoughts. Combined with the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, playability is smooth and consistent across long sessions or performances.
