Helping to Rebuild Post-tsunami Japan

The Takamine TR340S Tsunami Relief acoustic guitar was built specifically to provide aid to the tens of thousands of victims of the tsunami that struck Japan's eastern shores on March 11, 2011. Entire communities were swept away, and the survivors' lives will never be the same. To help support our friends in Japan, Takamine will donate 100% of the profits from the TR340S to local Japanese charities that can put the money to the best use.



While the Takamine TR340S represents an opportunity to help the victims of a terrible tragedy, it is also an impressively appointed guitar at a low price. Features like a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and an intricate rosette and binding are touches normally found on more expensive guitars. And as a reminder of the heritage of this special guitar, the 12th-fret hosts a special Japanese flag inlay. As a guitar, the TR340S is as beautiful as it is tonally proficient and playable. And with all the profit going straight to tsunami relief efforts, the Takamine TR340S is a perfect example of how to help the world through music.
