This highly desirable Japanese-era Takamine guitar plays and sounds great. Make no mistake, this is a workhorse guitar, a model that many well-known musicians have taken out on the road. This one is in good playing condition with just some small marks and dings from use and a bit of honest pick wear near the soundhole. (see photos). It has a great feel in the hand with comfortable action and a robust tone. The built-in electronics work flawlessly and the frets have only modest wear with plenty of life remaining. Added bonus, comes with its original black hard plastic road case.
