The Takamine TH90 Hirade concert classic is handcrafted in their pro series facility in Japan. The TH90 has the unique look and sonic enhancement of an oval soundhole and a solid spruce top for powerful lows, shimmering mids and a clear high end, with solid rosewood back and sides. This guitar has proved popular with latin and flamenco players. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar. This model includes Takamine’s proprietary CTP-3 Cool Tube™ preamp system. The dual-channel CTP-3 provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added), and an onboard chromatic tuner.
