Here for sale we have a Takamie Santa Fe LTD97 acoustic guitar in Gloss Natural. Made in Japan in 1997 in a limited run this guitar features a set-neck construction consisting of a double bound Koa body with Spruce top adorned with Lizard rosette inlay, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard adorned with Maple footprints. Other appointments include Gold Takamine sealed tuning machines and Takamine AccuraAcoustic EQ System.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a profile which can be described as a ‘C’ shape providing ergonomic thumb positioning and easy fretting up and down the neck. The nut width is rather narrow at just 1.67". This ensures easy reach for big stretches & a very manageable feel in all registers. The generous cutaway offers enhanced access to the upper register, really opening up the full range of the instrument.
The acoustic voice of the Takamine LTD97 is warm and rich, with the solid top construction allowing the wood to resonate clearly for a lively and responsive playing experience. The Koa back and sides provide a deep, rich and warm tone with a defined low end, smooth midrange and sparkling highs. The Spruce top contributes to the guitar's excellent projection and sustain whilst producing a shimmering top end. A wide dynamic range is available, feeling highly sensitive to the player's touch.
