The neck is made of mahogany with an ebony fingerboard. The entire guitar is bound in elegant white binding and the top is inlaid with colorful abalone purfling and features a matching abalone rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the braces and tone bars are individually selected and voiced by Takamine master craftsman, Tohru Hirokawa, ensuring each guitar emits a vibrant and dynamically responsive tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fingerboard has a stylized sun inlaid into the 12th fret, with the 8 planets falling into orbit on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 14th, and 17th frets (where traditional position markers usually are). The influence of our sun is represented on the finish which fades from a bright stained spruce to deep penumbra blue. This is repeated on the headstock in relation to the sun's influence. The detail is reflected in the material choice for the nut, which is bright bone (as it is in the sun), and the saddle material, which is lively carbon graphite (as it is in deep space). The result is a striking guitar that has wonderful classic tonewoods and a unique visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar carries its bold voice to the stage with ease due to Takamine's legendary Palathetic pickup and the very musical CTF-2N retro-inspired FET preamp, which recalls Takamine's beloved early \"brownie\" preamps. The preamp features modern features, such as a chromatic tuner and a sweepable notch filter selectable between -6dB and -12dB to dial out feedback or to dial up a pleasing smile curve in a flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther details include black chrome hardware and abalone inlaid bridge pins. Takamine's great semi-hard case is included, providing superior protection in a lightweight package, making it easy to carry and eminently solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of Takamine's annual limited edition guitars, produ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBODY SHAPE NEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTOP Solid Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBACK Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIDES Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFINGERBOARD Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFINISH Gloss Penumbra Blue Fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELECTRONICS CTF-2N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNUT WIDTH 42.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSCALE LENGTH 644mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLENGTH 1044mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIDTH 398mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEPTH AT END 111mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCASE SH500A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCASE INCLUDED Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Takamine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52852129759343,"sku":"LTD2024","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2992\/8815\/files\/LTD2024_e590adce-6d56-4de3-af28-3a9e0b57ccf1.jpg?v=1774558954","url":"https:\/\/sol-school-of-music-and-instrument-store-2.myshopify.com\/products\/takamine-2024-limited-edition-solar-system-acoustic-electric-guitar-with-case-gloss-penumbra-blue-fade-ltd2024","provider":"Sol School of Music and Instrument Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
