Takamine EG544CK

From Our Research Team:

Small Jumbo, Big Versatility

The Takamine EG544CK acoustic-electric guitar will captivate you with its rich tone, stunning good looks, and amazing playability. A solid koa top, back, and sides gives you the tonal complexity of mahogany with the brightness and projection you'd expect only from maple. If you're looking for a comfortable guitar you can kick back on the couch and play, then you'll love the EG544CK's cutaway NEX "small jumbo" body. But thanks to the onboard TP4T preamp and electronics system, your Takamine EG544CK acoustic-electric guitar will sound fantastic plugged in onstage.

Takamine EG544CK Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Great sound is in the details
  • Takamine - 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
  • Takamine's TP4T preamp system

Great sound is in the details
The Takamine EG544CK acoustic-electric guitar benefits from premium tonewoods and Takamine's painstaking attention to detail. With a top, back, and sides made of premium koa, the EG544CK looks great and gives you a ton of tonal range to play with. Further evidence of the quality Takamine puts into their instruments becomes perfectly clear when you hold one of these guitars in your hands. Granted, the NEX "small jumbo" body style may appear smaller than most acoustics, but the sheer projection you'll get out of the EG544CK will blow your mind.

Takamine - 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
The Takamine EG544CK 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 EG544CK 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.

Takamine EG544CK Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • A comfortable guitar that's perfect for kicking back on the couch or rocking out center stage
  • Comfortable NEX "small jumbo" body style feel great to large and small players alike
  • Solid koa top, back, and sides give you the electrifying warmth of mahogany plus the brightness and attack of maple
  • Rosewood bridge and fingerboard
  • Chrome tuners; Abalone Rosette; Dot Inlays
  • Electronics: under saddle pickup, TP4T Preamp with 3-band EQ and built-in tuner

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.

Great Guitar - Great Customer Service

by Rick Farr from Schaumburg, IL

Music Background: Hobbyist
This guitar is absolutely spectacular! The sound and quality is superb and I really like the built in tuner and the ease of play.

Sweetwater's customer service is the best out there! ... read more [+]And being able to actually see the exact guitar you looking to buy is a HUGE plus. Sweetwater has pictures of each acoustic guitar they have, front, back, sides and even a picture of the serial number to make sure you get the exact guitar you see - WHAT A BIG BIG PLUS!!! I want that one, not one that may look similar, but THAT one - WOW! No other guitar website that I saw came anywhere close to Sweetwater's website.

5 stars all around - I ordered the this guitar and got it the next day, paid by them! Thanks Sweetwater - you'll be hearing from me again.
