Description
The Takamine Japan P7NC is a premium acoustic-electric guitar crafted for serious performers who demand exceptional tone, refined playability, and dependable stage performance. Handcrafted in Japan, it combines Takamine’s distinctive NEX cutaway body with all-solid tonewoods and elegant appointments.
The NEX body is Takamine’s scaled-down take on a jumbo, offering the power and projection of a larger guitar with a smooth, balanced voice that complements vocals beautifully. A solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped X bracing delivers clarity, dynamic range, and excellent responsiveness, while the solid rosewood back and sides add rich overtones, deep lows, and articulate highs.
A comfortable Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets, while the mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard offer a smooth, refined playing feel. Its wider 45 mm nut provides additional string spacing, making it especially comfortable for fingerstyle playing and detailed chord work.
The P7NC is equipped with Takamine’s advanced CT4-DX electronics, combining the renowned Palathetic undersaddle pickup with an additional contact transducer. Each pickup source can be adjusted independently, allowing players to blend definition, warmth, and natural acoustic resonance for a detailed amplified sound.
Premium details—including maple body binding, dark wood purfling, an abalone rosette, abalone snowflake fingerboard inlays, and gold tuning machines—complete the guitar’s sophisticated appearance.
With its all-solid construction, beautifully balanced NEX voice, professional-grade electronics, and meticulous Japanese craftsmanship, the Takamine P7NC is an outstanding instrument for touring musicians, singer-songwriters, worship performers, and discerning acoustic players.
