Single Cutaway Acoustic/Electric!
The Takamine Natural Series gives you the biggest and widest acoustic sound possible. Solid cedar tops, solid mahogany backs, a thin satin finish and no pickguard - anything that could possibly impede the vibration of the soundboard was purposely left out. The EAN40C adds pickup and preamp to offer a guitar that plays great, sounds great and fits in either unplugged or plugged sessions.

Takamine EAN40C Acoustic/Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Clear, natural sound for unamplified or amplified work
  • Solid cedar top, Solid mahogany back
  • Pure tone quality from preamp/EQ
  • Accurate, versatile built-in tuner

Clear, natural sound for unamplified or amplified work
You'll fall in love with the tone of the EAN40C. Like all Takamine Naturals, it's so alive with sound that it nearly jumps out of your hands. The clean and simple approach of the Naturals has been imitated by other makers, but virtually nothing yet has compared to the purity of style - and sound - of the original.

Solid cedar top, solid mahogany back
The heart of an acoustic guitar is in the wood, and the EAN40C is no exception. The solid cedar top resonates with a warmth and clarity that you have to hear to believe. A solid mahogany back plus mahogany sides round out this instrument. The NEX single-cutaway design offers access to upper frets, while the rosewood fingerboard makes the EAN40C easy to play.

Pure tone quality from preamp/EQ
The EAN40C incorporates a CT4B preamp, designed for ease of use and purity of tone. The CT4B consists of 3 bands of graphic EQ tone control, a volume control slider and a built-in chromatic tuner. The 3-band EQ provides control over the bass, midrange and treble frequency response. With the sliders set at the midpoint the electric signal from the guitar is evenly balanced across the frequency range. You can dial in your desired tone by using the sliders to add or subtract frequency response as desired. Each frequency control slider will raise or lower the band response by +/-5db.

Accurate, versatile built-in tuner
The EAN40C's convenient built-in chromatic tuner is extremely accurate and very easy to use. To tune your instrument, simply pluck any open string. The tuner will then display the name of the note that has the closest frequency of the string played. The amount of deviation from the note (higher or lower) is displayed by red arrows indicating sharp or flat. When only the green center light illuminates, the note indicated in red has reached precise tuning. The CT4B tuner is also capable of being calibrated to frequencies other than standard A440. To facilitate silent onstage tuning, the TUNER POWER button also acts as a mute switch when the guitar is played amplified.
