From Our Research Team:

An Inspiring 12-string Experience

The Takamine Pro Series P3DC-12 Dreadnought Cutaway 12-string Acoustic-electric guitar rewards you with its mellifluous sonority, understated good looks, and buttery playability. Pick it up, take the fast mahogany neck in your hand, strum a few chords, and revel in the harmonic richness resonating from the solid cedar top. Execute a single-note run, let your fingers fly all the way up the bound rosewood fingerboard - courtesy of the P3DC-12's Venetian cutaway. Plug it in, and experience pure amplified acoustic tone, the way it was meant to be heard. The Takamine Pro Series P3DC-12 - to play it is to love it.

Takamine Pro Series P3DC-12 Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Great sound is in the details
  • Takamine - over 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
  • Takamine's CT4B preamp system gives you natural amplified tone

Great sound is in the details
The Takamine Pro Series P3DC-12 acoustic-electric guitar benefits from quality tonewoods and Takamine's painstaking attention to detail. With its scalloped X-braced solid cedar top and sapele back and sides, the P3DC-12 looks great and is tonally versatile enough to handle whatever playing style your musical mood dictates. And if you're playing out, the P3DC-12's stage-friendly gloss finish will certainly command your audience's attention.

Takamine - over 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
The Takamine Pro Series P3DC-12 acoustic-electric guitar is the result of over 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 CT4B preamp system found in this guitar.

Takamine's CT4B preamp system gives you natural amplified tone
The Pro Series P3DC-12 sports Takamine's CT4B preamp, giving you rich, clear-sounding amplified output - instantly. A feature of Pro Series guitars, the CT4B features three-band EQ, a volume control and a built-in tuner. 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 CT4B is powered by a single 9 volt battery.

Getting a phone call from one of your sales engineers to thank me for my order is just something that does not happen these days. A personal touch is great. Outstanding service and my order arrived as promised in two days.
