Default FS: 2011 Hirade TH5C Nylon String Guitar (price reduction)

http://www.takamine.com/guitars/seri...ard-with-case/

From the website:

"The TH5C Hirade concert classic is handcrafted in our pro series facility that has been building precision quality instrument for over five decades.

A sterling example of the luthier's art, these classical guitars that bear the name of Master Luthier Mass Hirade are still built by hand in our Takamine pro facility in Japan. This guitar features a solid cedar top for warmth and broad dynamic range and a solid rosewood back for excellent projection. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar. These instruments are designed and built to stand beside the finest classical guitars made today.

Includes Takamine's Palathetic pickup, known in the industry as one of the most accurate and natural sounding acoustic/electric pickups. The electronic performance package is beyond state of the art with the Cool Tube Preamp - the first and only tube preamp in an acoustic guitar."Takamine HIRADE TH5C crossover classical guitar, handmade in Japan in Takamine's Pro Series Shop."

A couple of small indentations on top that are too subtle to photograph and a couple of marks on end of head stock, but otherwise no issues whatsoever!

MSRP USD$2399.99 -- priced to sell at USD$1000.

** also interested in a trade for a quality baritone to upgrade my ABT60 **

Early bird gets the worm **price reduction** bump.

And thank you Wendell -- it is hard to let this one go as the tone/projection is incredible -- but just too many guitars and I have my hands full trying to do the steel strings guitars justice skill-development-wise.

Is this a 2nd or refurbished guitar? what kind of case does it come with and does it have a truss rod? you call it a crossover but they have a 1 7/8 in. nut length. Is the cool tube pre-amp #1 or #2?
The Th5c should be at least 2 in. at the nut.
Thanks, Rob

Hello Rob, and thank you for your interest.

My apologies for my inaccuracy in describing it as a cross-over -- that was a quote from the Takamine website -- and it made sense to me due to the electrics and cutaway. The nut does in fact measure 51mm or 2" -- and this was an important factor in my choosing it over a comparable Ramirez with a smaller nut.

I am the second owner and it is as it was received by me. No indication that it is a refurb, etc. -- appears to be honest play wear to me. It comes with a hard shell case (not sure if original, but in good shape).

Yes, there is an adjustable truss rod.

It has the cool tube preamp 2 (CPT-2).

Thanks again.

Scott.
