What's New at Takamine

LTD2011(IKI)

Created in the spirit of “Iki”, which is the traditional aesthetic ideal that seeks to promote an emotional connection between the person and the object, the LTD2011 is this year’s offering in the continuing LTD Series from Takamine Guitars. The unique feature sets on this instrument will be offered only this year and never appear together again.

This fine instrument is based on our NEX, “small jumbo” platform which is designed for impeccable balance across the entire playable range. The voice is sweet and expressive and not only blends nicely with a singer but will happily respond to more aggressive playing techniques with boldness and clarity.

Aside from the impressive musical character of the guitar there is the visually stunning application of shell and fabric brought to life in the form of Asian goldfish swimming about in the deep, Indigo burst finish of the soundboard. Ripples are depicted by an artfully crafted inlay consisting of gold string that is traditionally used to wrap gifts given at weddings and used to symbolize the gift givers wishes of good health and fortune.
