The Takamine TC132S Hirade concert classic is crafted using Mass Hirade's original drawings.
The TC132S is handcrafted in the Takamini's pro series facility in Japan where they have been building precision quality instruments for well over five decades.
This nylon string classical guitar pays homage to traditional classical instruments . The solid cedar top is supported by traditional ladder bracing and produces a warm tone and plenty of dynamic range. The solid rosewood back and sides aid in projection..
The mahogany neck features a dual action truss rod, which keeps the guitar playing perfectly in any environment. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar, providing a brilliant and rich classic tone. Takamine Classics can be equipped with any one of four unique interchangeable SoundChoice preamps which provide maximum control over any performance application.
Both the TC1232S (non cutaway) and TC123SC (cutaway) are much renowned and favoured amongst Latin Jazz performers and Classical players combined.
This is a good example that sounds amazing and will only get better with age. It ialso been fitted with a brand new CTP-3 Cooltube preamp at a cost of £250, includes a hard case and will be fully set-up with new strings prior to dispatch or collection.
