Default Takamine EF340S-TT MIJ Torrefied Top - SOLD

Howdy!

This is an amazing handmade instrument made in Takamine's Japanese shop that rivals any large factory dreads being built today for a lot less dollars(IMNSHO).

Here is a video demo of the model:

EF340S-TT by Corey Witt

Specs:
Top - Solid Torrefied Sitka Spruce
Back/Sides - Solid American Mahogany
Neck - One Piece Solid Mahogany
Bridge/Fingerboard - Rosewood
Tuners - Gotoh Open Back Butterbean (SE780)
Nut Width - 45mm (1.76" with a dial caliper)
String spacing at saddle - 2 3/16" measured
Electronics - TLD-2 with Palathetic Pickup
Case - OHSC

This guitar has a HUGE neck. Takamine describes it as "beefy" and I agree. I have large hands and it is a non-issue for me, but please note that this neck is much bigger than any other acoustic I have owned. The closest thing I've played to it is some vintage Gibsons.

I bought the guitar lightly used and that is how I would describe it now. It has some superficial finish scratches that don't photograph from belt buckles and picks and there are some finish marks where a string winder has been used for re-stringings, but overall it is in excellent condition.

I'm selling to help fund and make room for upcoming commissions...this is an awesome guitar. SOLD. Not interested in trades.














Here's a factory tour of the shop where it was made. It's cool to know that the guy that shaped your neck has been doing it for 40+ years...

These are wonderful gigging guitars and a huge step up acoustically from the old days of Takamine.

Best of luck with your sale!

Thanks, Jim! She would fit great into your current collection and we wouldn't even have to deal with shipping...
