From my knowledge of owning a TSF-48C I recall the following information however I may be inaccurate on the production years: The Takamine NP-48C was manufactured in Japan from about 1992-1999. It has a 25.5” scale length, 1-11/16” bone nut, split Bone saddles with piezo pickups, parametric EQ, Takamine branded Gotoh tuners, Ebony fretboard and saddle, cedar top on on the lower NP-15 and I’m pretty sure (could be cedar?) spruce top on the NP-48. There are other models in between the tops of which I cannot speak to. During the 1990’s and into the early 2000’s almost all Takamine Japan guitars had solid tops and laminated backs and sides. N=NEX body shape. Takamine version of small jumbo body. P=Parametric EQ 48=is the trim level C=Cutaway If there are errors it is because this info was from My memory and do not hold me responsible.

Thanks for the info its a great playing guitar. I am pretty impressed with it so far, picked it up for what i think is a good deal. Of course its really hard to find a price point on these. They are all over the place. I Know from Serial number it was made in 93' it has been played for sure sound like you info is right on. it has a spruce top. Im pretty sure the back sides are laminate but seem to be pretty high quality and well constructed.

I just saw this on Reverb. It’s 1993 NOS NP-48C
https://reverb.com/item/5693312-1993-takamine-np-48c I’d say MSRP was $1795 and street price was $1495 Blues |
