Discerning players should never settle for less than the best, which is why so many have taken to the Takamine EF450C.
Superb, all-solid tonewoods
The EF450C is built from fine, all-solid tonewoods to guarantee excellent sound. First up, you get figured maple back and sides, which supply a bright and lively tone that slices through any mix onstage or in the studio. That lively tone is projected to the listeners via a thermally-treated Sitka spruce top. Sitka spruce is well-loved in the guitar building industry for its authoritative projection and transparent sound. Finally, the body is mated with a smooth-playing maple neck and ebony fingerboard. For bright, powerful tones, the EF450C is the perfect choice.
Thermal Top technology takes your guitar to the next level
Acoustic guitars sound better once they're broken in and sufficiently aged. But wouldn't it be awesome if the guitar sounded nicely broken in when you buy it? Boy, do we have something to tell you! The EF450C features Takamine's Thermal Top aging process to sound like a broken-in classic right out of the case. Thermal Tops are baked in a controlled, high-heat, low-oxygen environment that replicates the natural aging that takes place over many years of play. Once you hear the difference, you'll fall in love.
Comfortable playability up and down the neck
With the EF450C, you'll enjoy complete playing comfort. The maple neck is carved into a super comfortable profile that sits solidly in your palm. An ebony fingerboard completes the neck design, supplying a smooth feel and a dash of tonal brightness. Finally, each of the 22 frets is expertly dressed at the factory to ensure smooth, even playability. Whether you're playing cowboy chords or ripping leads, the EF450C's comfortable neck and superb fretwork make it a dream to play.
