Takamine LTD2024 Limited Edition Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Takamine Guitars is pleased to announce the release of the LTD2024 Limited Edition model, already referred to by many as the "Solar System Limited Edition". 2024 is a leap year, the quadrennial event of re-calibrating our drifting human calendar to the solar system and the inspiration for the LTD2024. With each of the eight planets delicately positioned on the ebony fretboard, our Earth clearly distinguished by its distinct orbit around the Sun, the LTD2024 encourages the contemplation of our planet's magnificent journey through space with every note played. Central to the design is the Sun, stylistically portrayed at the 12th fret as a swirling symbol of lifegiving energy projecting pale hues across the upper bout and lower headstock of the guitar, renewing the term ‘sunburst' to its truest form.

A stellar limited edition acoustic guitar beautifully combining the majesty of the cosmos with world-class craftsmanship. LTD2024 features intricate inlays of the solar system on its fingerboard, with a special emphasis on Earth's unique orbit, and a sun motif at the 12th fret.

A Fingerboard Odyssey Through the Solar System

The LTD2024 invites players on a cosmic journey with its uniquely designed fingerboard. Each of the solar system's eight planets is delicately inlaid, showcasing Takamine's attention to detail. The highlight is our very own Earth, presented in a distinct orbit around the sun, encouraging musicians to contemplate our planet's journey through space with each note played.

Sun-Inspired Artistry and Design

Central to the design is the sun, depicted at the 12th fret as a symbol of life and energy. This artistic representation is extended across the guitar's body, with subtle, sun-inspired hues enhancing the upper bout and headstock. These design elements pay homage to the sun's vital role in our solar system and in nurturing life on Earth.

Engineering Excellence in Acoustics

The LTD2024 stands out for its exceptional build quality. Each guitar benefits from the expertise of Takamine's master craftsmen, who hand-select and tune the bracing and tone bars to perfection. The choice of a black carbon saddle is both a visual and auditory decision, ensuring the guitar's aesthetics remain uninterrupted while offering superior sound transmission.

Revolutionary Amplification for the Stage

Equipped with the latest CTF-2N preamp, the LTD2024 guarantees that its beautiful tones are perfectly captured and projected. This preamp, a modern take on the FET technology from our renowned Brownie preamp, offers a warm, authentic acoustic sound. Paired with our acclaimed Palathetic pickup, the LTD2024 promises a balanced, rich tone, making it an ideal choice for live performances.
