Slim, Nylon-string Classical Acoustic with Onboard Preamp
A shallow depth, comfortable 47mm nut width, and quality tonewood construction equips the easy-playing Takamine TSP148NC classical acoustic to deliver the goods in the hands of any player, modern electric to traditional acoustic. This nylon-string is built from a tried-and-true cocktail of cedar, sapele, and mahogany to yield a traditionally balanced and punchy tone. Onboard electronics, powered by Takamine's own CT-3N preamp, inject the dulcet tones of this robust hybrid directly into an interface or PA. An onboard tuner and notch filter, along with traditional 3-band EQ and output controls, give you full control over your sound directly from the stage. Rounding out this handsome package are an eye-catching soundhole rosette and hollow dot fingerboard inlays.
Solid cedar on sapele
Cedar tops are a mainstay in the world of classical acoustic guitars. The Takamine Thinline TSP148NC's solid cedar top and well-figured sapele body exhibit a strong and dynamic response, with surprising punch and depth given this guitar's shallow depth. Together, these tonewoods supply excellent string-to-string balance and definition. A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard give you a smooth and precise fretting surface while producing full, enveloping sustain.
Compact and comfortable
Large acoustic guitars are appreciated for their massive tone and extraordinary projection. That said, not everybody finds them comfortable to play; especially if they primarily play a solidbody electric. Enter the Thinline Series — these guitars enable electric players’ lower arm to rest on the instrument’s body at an angle that better accommodates their playing style. But don’t think for a minute that Thinline Series guitars lack in tone — their streamlined bodies offer excellent volume and clarity. Even when you play them unplugged, they deliver excellent projection and articulation.
Great-sounding CT-3N preamp system
When you take the stage with the Takamine Thinline TSP148NC, you can expect top-shelf plugged-in tone, thanks to its CT-3N electronics. Created explicitly for the Thinline Series, this preamp system features a 3-band EQ for tone shaping and a notch filter for feedback elimination. You also get an onboard tuner, battery indicator, and master volume control. When you combine the CT-3N’s stellar preamplification with Takamine’s proprietary Palathetic pickup, the results are impressive. And since you're buying your new Takamine from Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery, you know the electronics have been tested and will be working for you right out of the box.
