Takamine TT Thermal Top Acoustics for Players

Pick up a Takamine TT and the first thing you notice is that it doesn't feel like a new guitar. The solid spruce top is torrefied, so the response is open and played-in right out of the case, with no years of break-in needed. Every one is a Japan-made EF model with legacy-grade construction, which appeals to gigging players and collectors alike.

Stage-minded players should look at the cutaway models, which carry CoolTube electronics for plugging into a PA or monitor rig. The lineup includes the EF360SC TT, EF400SC TT and EF450C-TT NEX, along with non-cutaway options like the EF340S-TT, EF360S-TT and EF740FS-TT. The EF75M TT orchestra model suits fingerstyle players who want a different body feel.
