The TC135SC from Takamine is a handmade nylon-string acoustic/electric guitar with a cutaway body designed for Latin and jazz players. Its hybrid crossover design features a 14th-fret neck-to-body joint and a 24-fret fingerboard.
Built by hand at Takamine's pro facility in Japan, the TC135SC is constructed with a solid spruce top for versatility and extended dynamic range, while a solid rosewood back aids in projection and enhances the sonic brilliance of the guitar. Additionally, the instrument includes rosewood sides, and a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard. A natural gloss finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar.
For electronics, the instrument includes an onboard CTP-3 CoolTube preamp system paired with a Palathetic undersaddle pickup for a first-class amplified response and a natural acoustic tone. The preamp system has a three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, volume control, and a built-in tuner, giving the player better control of the guitar's tone in a live environment. A hardshell case is also included.
