Glenn Frey

A proud Takamine artist since 1980, Glen Frey was one of the founding members of The Eagles one of the most popular american bands of all time. He'd been turned-on to Takamine around 1980 by Fred Walicky of Westwood Music in LA and how prior to that, playing acoustic live meant wrestling with mic feedback or tolerating crappy sounding sound-hole pickups. Takamine had just come out with its revolutionary Palathetic pickup and Fred suspected it might be the solution to Glenn's dilemma. Fred was right and Glenn became one of the first major artists ever to perform with the new acoustic-electric Takamine. By 1982 artists like David Lindley, Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder, Sreve Lukather and Nancy Wilson were appearing along with Glenn in Takamine's domestic catalog. A rare circa 1982 photograph shows Glenn being presented an early Palathetic pickup model PT-015-ST by Takamine's now legendary leader and master luthier, Mass Hirade.

Construction

Based on Glenn's original EF360S from 1991 the EF360GF is a stunning guitar consisting of a solid Spruce top and solid Rosewood back. This combined with the ever popular dreadnought body shape gives you a huge sound with fantastic clarity and bass response. joined to the body is a mahogany neck which is chunky yet comfortable to play, a top of the neck is a Rosewood fingerboard and traditional Takamine style pointy headstock.

Electronics + CTB4 II

The EF360GF model comes fitted with Takamines own CTB4 II Pre-amp system paired with a Palathetic pickup. This tried and tested combination from Takamine gives you a warm and professional sound on stage. With full control over the 3-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble), master volume control and a built-in tuner for easy tuning on stage or on the go.
