Vintage tone and comfort unite in this expertly crafted acoustic-electric.
The Takamine EF450CTT NEX acoustic-electric guitar gives you a bold, articulate voice and premium playability. This instrument is an addition to Takamine's Thermal Top series, featuring a spruce top treated with high heat to impart a played-in, vintage tone that surprises in a new guitar. With its NEX cutaway body shape, solid flame maple back and sides and stealthy TLD-2 preamp, the EF450CTT allows you to shape your sound for any musical situation.
Takamine's Thermal Top Process
The EF450CTT's spruce top is modified through Takamine's Thermal Top process, altering the wood's resins and sugars to produce a rich, aged tone typically found only in well-played vintage instruments. Paired with solid flame maple back and sides, known for articulate bass and shimmering highs, this guitar resonates with a bold voice. An ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability, while the maple neck's oval profile gives you comfort and speed.
Exquisite Abalone and Pearl "Grass Flower" Inlays
With exquisite abalone and pearl "Grass Flower" fingerboard inlays, gloss brown sunburst finish and gold tuners, the EF450CTT is as visually striking as it is tonally impressive. Its 42.5mm nut width and slim, fast maple neck give you space to articulate complex chords and rapid solos with ease. The cutaway NEX body shape provides upper-fret access, allowing you to explore the guitar's full tonal range.
Shape Your Sound with Onboard Electronics
Takamine's TLD-2 preamp system and Palathetic pickup give you total control over your amplified tone. The TLD-2 preamp features volume, treble, midrange and bass controls to adjust EQ for any musical situation. With the Palathetic pickup, your acoustic sound is faithfully captured and conveyed through your amplifier or PA system. The TLD-2 runs on two 1.5-volt AA batteries, giving you up to 1,000 hours of use and includes an automatic shutoff.
Premium at an Affordable Price
The EF450CTT NEX delivers vintage-inspired tone, elegant aesthetics and premium playability, all while remaining highly affordable. With its resonant tonewoods, elegant appointments and expressive electronics, this guitar gives you a bold, articulate voice for any musical genre. The included hardshell case protects your instrument during transport and storage. Experience the surprising tone and feel of Takamine's Thermal Top series with the EF450CTT NEX acoustic-electric guitar.
