The TF77PT OM is handcrafted in the pro series facility that has been building precision quality instruments since the 50's. This model matches a solid cedar top to solid Hawaiian Koa back and sides to create a harmonic richness and dynamic playing experience. The finish is a gloss sunset burst and the 12th fret is adorned with a sun setting behind a palm tree on a deserted island. Features a fully bound body and fretboard. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a traditional, ultra strong dovetail joint. Includes Takamine's Palathetic pickup, known in the industry as one of the most accurate and natural sounding acoustic/electric pickups. The electronic performance package is beyond state of the art with the Cool Tube Preamp ? the first and only tube preamp in an acoustic guitar.
