Takamine Craftsmanship: pickups and preamps

 If you play for an audience in any place bigger than your living room, you'll need to amplify your guitar. We've been at the acoustic/electric game for almost 3 decades and our new guitars have a highly developed pickup and preamp system.

The Takamine Palathetic pickup senses the vibration of the top more than the pressure of the strings, giving you a very natural and warm sound.

Takamine is the only manufacturer to feature interchangeable preamps in its instruments. All preamps are easily removable, so you can have different preamps for different applications, styles or venues. Your Takamine will also be upgradeable to the latest preamp technology. No other maker gives you this acoustic/electric edge.
