Takamine Limited LTD2022
In the early days of Takamine’s 60 year history, there was a model made of Hawaiian koa that adapted the classical body shape to an x-braced concert steel string with a cutaway. LTD2022 takes this early Takamine guitar as a starting point, featuring a figured spruce top and figured koa on its back and sides. For its electronics, we return to our early roots with the new CTF-2N preamplifier which revives the sound of our early FET preamp model, affectionately known as the “Brownie”. The CTF-2N has that legendary sound, while adding the more modern functions of easy battery access, a chromatic tuner, and a notch filter.
With Takamine’s 60th anniversary in 2022, the LTD2022 marks the occasion with a diamond-shaped inlay on the 12th fret, vibrant abalone purfling, and matching rosette. The position markers also feature a colourful abalone circle-within-a circle motif. Takamine produces all of our LTD models in limited quantities with unique features that will never be produced again. The LTD2022 is certain to be a treasured instrument for guitar players and instrument collectors alike.
