Overview
Doubling up on strings is the premise of this Takamine, an acoustic-electric twelve-string with a spruce top. Mahogany forms the back, sides and neck, and an ovangkol fingerboard is finished in black.
The bullets name the woods plainly, from the spruce top to the mahogany neck, and the title confirms electronics on a twelve-string layout. Everything else is absent, including the preamp, pickup, dimensions and weight.
Who it's for
Players looking for a black twelve-string with onboard electronics who will confirm the specification with Takamine or a dealer. Those who want to compare electronics from the page alone have little to go on.
Pros and cons
- Mahogany back, sides and neck
- Preamp and pickup details absent
- Scale length and nut width not listed
- Weight and dimensions missing
Performance notes
The spruce top and mahogany back and sides shape the acoustic voice, and doubled strings add layering. How it sounds plugged in depends on electronics the listing never describes.
