Takamine P5NC NEX Pro 5 Series Electro Acoustic

Construction

The guitar features a resonant solid spruce top with scalloped X top bracing for superior balance and articulation, solid rosewood back and rosewood sides, a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard, and elegant ivory body binding with dark wood purfling and abalone rosette. Other performance-enhancing features include Takamines asymmetrical neck profile which is slightly thinner on the bass side so that it fits the natural shape of your hand, resulting in a comfortable feel and improved playability. The split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, while bridge pin positioning optimizes the break angle to improve sustain and presence.

Electronics

The CTP-3 CoolTube is the first and only onboard tube preamp for acoustic guitar, produces a rich, full sound. It takes it's name from innovative Takamine technology that runs its 12AU7 dual-triode vacuum tube at very low voltages so low that it stays cool to the touch with variable tube tone that can be adjusted from bright and brilliant to thick and warm.

The full-range EQ section uses shelving filters to sculpt bass and treble frequencies, with semi-parametric shaping control over the midrange. A control knob adjusts the frequency from 250Hz to 5kHz, and a pinpoint-precise onboard chromatic tuner is standard equipment. Other features include Mid and High cut switches for a second pickup.
