Small Jumbo, Big Versatility

The Takamine EG544CK acoustic-electric guitar will captivate you with its rich tone, stunning good looks, and amazing playability. If you're looking for a comfortable guitar that you can kick back on the couch and play, then you'll love the EG544CK's cutaway NEX "small jumbo" body. Laminated koa top, back, and sides give you the tonal complexity of mahogany with the brightness and projection you'd only expect from maple. 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
  • 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 laminated 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.

50 years of quality, great sound, and playability

The Takamine EG544CK acoustic-electric guitar benefits from a half-century of Takamine guitar-crafting know-how. 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, which instantly gives you rich, clear-sounding amplified output. A feature of G-Series guitars, the TP4T includes 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
  • Laminated 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
