USED Takamine / LTD-2001 Dolphin [2001]

The 2001 LIMITED EDITION model is characterized by its fantastical body top decoration and the inlays on the fingerboard.

This is the Takamine Dreadnought-shaped LTD-2001. The soundhole rosette features a striking “dolphin” design crafted from exotic wood, and “dolphin” inlays are also featured on the fingerboard. It features a solid spruce top, X-bracing, rosewood sides and back, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard.

The preamp has been replaced with the current CT-4BII (PTU) model, which includes a built-in tuner. This limited-edition model has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally, and its excellent playability and wide range of tonal variations are among its key attractions.

Signs of use are visible (including discoloration, clouding of the finish on the headstock top and body back, minor scratches and scuffs, wear and playing marks, picking marks, buckle marks, a step in the finish at the neck heel joint, chemical stains on the fingerboard, and tarnish, pitting, or rust on metal parts and screws, among others).

Set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, string height adjustment, and repair of 7 instances of loose bracing); the frets are at a height that poses no issues for playing, and the truss rod can be adjusted in both tightening and loosening directions—operation has been confirmed up to ±60°.
