Two-way Truss Rod and Endpin Jack – Technology & Craftsmanship

Two-way Adjustable Truss Rod & Side-beams
- Unique Structure to Correct Neck Warpage -

The current Takamine models adopt a dual-channel truss rod that was co-developed with Gotoh Gut Company in the mid-90s. While the conventional truss rod (single channel type) could perform correction within a limited range, the dual channel truss rod can work with both forward and backward warpage. To prevent the neck from warping, two beams are mounted along each side of the truss rod to strengthen neck and body joint.

Takamine Original Design – Endpin and Phone Jack into One

Takamine designed an all-in-one high-rigid endpin jack that is firmly screwed on the bottom of the instrument. This helps to prevent the jack from loosening or falling off as well as protect the body from damages when audio cable is tugged off. In addition to regular ground terminal, an extra ground terminal is added to avoid short-circuit or other troubles caused by bad connection. A standard 3.5mm mini-plug is used for the connection to the preamp, allowing easy part replacement.
