What You Need To Know
1 60th Anniversary? Has Takamine really been around that long?
Yes! The Takamine story really begins in 1959 when a small family-run instrument workshop was opened in Sakashita, at the foot of Mount Takamine in central Japan. Building on a larger scale began in 1962 and the rest, as they say, is history.
2 That’s an odd colour for Sitka spruce, isn’t it?
That’s because Takamine has tinted the finish used on the top of the guitar to match the natural honey-coloured hue of the koa used for the instrument’s back and sides.
3 Is koa really that rare?
When you consider that the genuine Acacia koa found on the LTD2022 is grown only on Hawaii (although other species are grown elsewhere) and that the highly figured variety used in guitar making has to be carefully selected, then yes, it meets the criteria of being considered rare.
