Great sound is in the details
The Takamine LTD2012 acoustic-electric guitar benefits from premium tonewoods and Takamine's painstaking attention to detail. With its premium-grade solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, the LTD2012 serves up big dreadnought tone with robust projection. And with its eye-catching gloss black finish and beautiful growing vine fingerboard inlay, your fans' ears won't be the only sensory organs riveted on your performance. If it's beefy dreadnought power and visual presence you're after, the Takamine LTD2012 is for you.

Takamine - 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
The Takamine LTD2012 acoustic-electric guitar is a Limited Edition instrument, built to celebrate Takamine's 50th anniversary. 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 cutting-edge CoolTube preamp system found in this guitar.

Takamine's CoolTube preamp system
The LTD2012 sports Takamine's CoolTube preamp, giving you rich, warm-sounding amplified output - at cool temperatures. Takamine's unique technology runs a 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube at very low voltages. The tube doesn't glow or produce noticeable heat; it runs at only 2-3 degrees above ambient temperature, so you needn't be concerned about your delicate tonewoods. With Takamine's CoolTube preamp, your playing is the only thing that's hot. Your tone will be warm - and your preamp tube cool. Cool, huh?

Takamine LTD2012 dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar Features:
  • Comfortable dreadnought cutaway body style
  • Buttery ebony fingerboard with nickel-silver frets and growing vine inlay
  • Takamine's CoolTube preamp system - warm sound; cool tube
  • Preamp includes a chromatic tuner at your fingertips to keep you in tune
  • Hardshell case included

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
