Takamine 60th Anniversary

In 1987 Takamine celebrated its 25th anniversary. For this special occasion, the first Takamine Limited model was manufactured. Since 1987, Takamine produces a new Limited model every year, which is the flagship in manufacturing and design. The Takamine Limited guitars are very popular among collectors.

Takamine is celebrating its diamond jubilee this year and to mark the occasion is releasing two special limited edition acoustic guitars, the "LTD2022" and "THE 60TH". With their elegant cutaway, the two models "THE 60TH" and "LTD2022" complement the silhouette and distinctive concept of Takamine's groundbreaking PT-05E.

The Takamine "THE 60TH" is a limited production of 60 pieces worldwide. It features an elegant cutaway that echoes the silhouette and distinctive concept of Takamine's groundbreaking PT-05E.

"THE 60TH" is made entirely of solid Hawaiian koa. The high quality grained grain of solid Hawaiian Koa, has a different direction of stiffness than ordinary spruce tops due to its repeated coarse and dense grain, which is sonically desirable but can be less suitable for holding typical string tensions.

Limited to 60 pieces worldwide, the top-of-the-line "THE 60TH" model features a genuine diamond inlay in the headstock.

The top wood of the beautiful Takamine LTD2022 was made of Figured Sitka Spruce and decorated with a beautiful Abalone Purfling. The back and sides are made of Figured Koa. The body was finished in Natural Gloss . The mahogany neck was fitted with an ebony fingerboard.
