The Takamine P5NC is a professional-grade acoustic-electric guitar with innovative body shape, state-of-the-art CTP-3 Cool Tube electronics, and a sound that blends dreadnought power with the balanced tone of a jumbo. The solid spruce top is X-braced for superior tonal clarity, sitting atop rosewood back and sides for a classic tonewood combination. The neck is slim and extremely comfortable to play, making use of an asymmetrical shape that's a little thinner on the bass side to fit the natural curve of your hand while the cutaway body allows for easy access to upper frets. The CTP-3 Cool Tube electronics use a real 12AU7 vacuum tube running at low voltage, producing a beautiful amplified sound when it's time to hit the stage.
