Takamine TSF48C Santa Fé with CTP-3 CoolTube and case
Product no: 9000-0055-7389 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

A hand-made precision instrument with an immaculate finish, that's Takamine's TSF48C in a nutshell. This electro-acoustic steel-string has a comfortable, all-solid NEX body made of rosewood that, in terms of size, is a lot like a slightly smaller jumbo model. Combined with a solid spruce top, the resonance chamber of the TSF48C shapes a supremely flexible foundation sound where warmth and brightness come together before being amplified by the built-in CTP-3 Cool Tube preamp. That is, if you plan on taking your new Japanese pride and joy on stage or into the studio and hook it up to an acoustic amp. Subtle details such as the eagle inlays on the ebony fretboard and the black crow rosette beautifully finish this premium eye-catcher, which naturally comes complete with a deluxe case.
