◯ Its distinctive, somewhat retro appearance makes it a great choice for visual appeal.
◯ Among this brand’s products, which generally give a rather hard impression, this instrument possesses a unique “softness” in its sound.
(Both in terms of the tone itself and its surprisingly broad versatility across genres and styles.)
◯ A guitar brimming with multifaceted charm that will appeal to more than just Ry Cooder fans.
◯That said, its open tunings and slide playing—which really let it shine—are simply exquisite. (← I just had to mention it!)

[Takamine’s First Electro-Acoustic Model, Highly Praised by Ry Cooder
Released in ’79, this was Takamine’s first landmark electro-acoustic model.
Prior to its release, several prototypes were handed to Ry Cooder through an acquaintance, and the final model was completed after incorporating his feedback.
This marked the beginning of Takamine’s electric-acoustic guitar line.
Ry Cooder’s high praise and his use of the guitar on stage rapidly spread the brand image of “Takamine: the electric-acoustic guitar” in overseas markets.】
