The Takamine EF508KC acoustic-electric guitar is nothing short of stunning, both visually and sonically. The EF508KC's smaller NEX-shaped body is crafted with top, back and sides of figured koa, a tonewood prized for it's warm and natural sound that starts out a little bright and then mellows out gradually with age. The comfortable mahogany neck plays like butter, and features beautiful abalone snowflake inlays fit for a guitar that looks this good everywhere else. When it's time to hit the stage, Takamine's "Palathetic" under-saddle pickup and CT4B II electronics will get the gorgeous sound of this guitar
