Takamine Signature Series Acoustic Guitars

Pick up a Takamine Signature guitar and you are holding an instrument shaped around a working musician's hands. These Japan-made artist models, from Glenn Frey, John Jorgenson, Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Steve Wariner, are Legacy-grade dreadnoughts and jumbos set up the way each player wanted them. LV Guitars carries them for players who want that stage-tested pedigree.

Think about how these play in a real set. The big-bodied dreadnought and jumbo shapes are made to project and hold their own against a band, while the Frey EF360GF is an electric-acoustic ready to plug in at a gig. The Jorgenson 12-string gives you that chiming, doubled-string wash for open-tuned openers and big choruses. Each guitar differs in feel and appointments, so spend time with the neck and body that suit your playing.

For gigging players and collectors alike, the appeal is owning a piece of a named artist's vision without leaving the realm of serious working instruments. Expect roughly $2,499 to $2,649 for what is on hand right now, with the live grid below showing current availability.
