The Art of Inlay Work – Technology & Craftsmanship

Gorgeous and Meticulous Work of Art

Gorgeous and meticulous inlay applied on the rosette and other part is one of major attractions of Takamine guitars. Instead of chisels and planes for a luthier, Takamine employs today's advanced technology – CAD system, CNC router and laser cutting machine. Yet, after cutting out the parts, they are fitted in by seasoned craftsman's hand piece by piece. Superb combination of materials and colors depends on sensitivity and experience of Takamine craftsmen.
