60 years of guitar artistry! In honor of Takamine's 60th anniversary, AMS is proud to introduce LTD2022.
In the early days of Takamine's history, there was a model that adapted a classical body to an x-braced concert steel string with a cutaway. This model featured beautiful Hawaiian koa on its back and sides, and was an instant favorite among Takamine players.
LTD2022 takes this early Takamine guitar as a starting point, featuring a stunning figured spruce top and gorgeous figured koa on its back and sides. For it's electronics, we return to our early roots with the new CTF-2N preamplifier which revives the warm, dynamic sound of our early FET preamp model, affectionately known as the "Brownie". The CTF-2N has that legendary sound, while adding the modern functions of a chromatic tuner and versatile notch filter.
With Takamine's 60th anniversary in 2022, the LTD2022 marks the occasion with a diamond-shaped inlay on the 12th fret - a loving touch that displays Takamine's legendary artistic craftsmanship. The guitar is also adorned with vibrant abalone purfling and matching rosette. The position markers also feature a colorful abalone circle-within-a circle motif.
Takamine produces all LTD models in very limited quantities with unique features that will never be produced again. The LTD2022 is certain to be a treasured instrument for guitar players and collectors alike.
