Takamine - 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
The Takamine EG536SHB acoustic-electric guitar benefits from a half-century of Takamine guitar-crafting knowhow. Launched in 1962 at the foot of Japan's Takamine mountains, Takamine has been designing and building acoustic guitars that are seen in the hands of some of music's biggest stars. With quality and value as guiding principles, Takamine's instruments employ the finest tonewoods, construction techniques, and technical innovations such as the proprietary TP4T preamp system found in this guitar.

Takamine's TP4T preamp system
The EG536SHB sports Takamine's TP4T preamp, giving you rich, clear-sounding amplified output - instantly. A feature of G-Series guitars, the TP4T features a gain knob, a tuner, an active shelving EQ with bass, middle, and treble sliders, and a low battery indicator. The preamp is switched on by plugging a standard instrument cable into the endpin/strap pin jack. Unplugging the cable turns the preamp off. The TP4T is powered by a single 9 volt battery.

My wife has even made the comment "that guitar sounds a lot better than your old one". I do have one complaint with this guitar, I have difficulty putting it down once I start to play it. The service from Sweetwater has been great, they have been a pleasure to do business with. I couldn't be more pleased. close [-]
