An Inspiring Acoustic-electric Experience

The Takamine Pro Series P3NC Acoustic-electric guitar rewards you with its mellifluous sonority, understated good looks, and buttery playability. Grab the fast mahogany neck, strum a few chords, and revel in the harmonic richness resonating from the NEX/grand auditorium body and solid cedar top. Execute a single-note run, let your fingers fly all the way up the bound rosewood fingerboard - courtesy of the P3NC's Venetian cutaway. Plug it in, and experience pure amplified acoustic tone, the way it was meant to be heard. The Takamine Pro Series P3NC - to play it is to love it.

Takamine Pro Series P3NC 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 P3NC 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 P3NC looks great and is tonally versatile enough to handle whatever playing style your musical mood dictates. And if you're playing out, the P3NC's luscious satin finish will certainly command your audience's attention.

Takamine - over 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability
The Takamine Pro Series P3NC 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 P3NC 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.

Takamine Pro Series P3NC Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • NEX cutaway; scalloped X-braced solid cedar top, solid sapele back, sapele laminate sides
  • African Mahogany Neck with bound rosewood fingerboard, 20 nickel-silver frets, wood dot-in-dot inlays
  • Ivory binding, dark (wood trim) purfling, concentric rings with wood marquetry rosette
  • Rosewood pinless bridge, split bone saddle, bone nut
  • Ivory back binding, mahogany peghead with gold logo
  • Takamine CT4B II electronics onboard

Beautiful guitar sounds amazing

by Matt from Pittsburgh, PA
November 6, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist
This guitar looks and sounds amazing. Has a very clear and balanced voice. Works well for fingerpicking or flatpicking. Comes stock with bone nut/saddle. Guitar came with low action and no buzzing any... read more [+]where.Been playing it unplugged mostly and it sounds great. Plugged in I noticed that the palethetic pickup seems way more sensitive than an undersaddle element. Pickup works surprisingly well for tapping on top of guitar(Andy Mckee type stuff). This Guitar is for sure worth the price and then some. My sales engineer was very helpfull. Sweetwater rocks! close [-]
