Product no: 9000-0053-7418 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

While first-rate Japanese guitar builder, Takamine isn't known for coming up with the Spanish guitar, what they are known for is their work ethic, near-obsessive eye for detail, and a passion for high-quality, hand-crafted instruments, all of which is embodied by the TH5C Hirade electro-acoustic classical guitar. This marvellous model comes complete with a matching case.

The TH5C Hirade: Cool Tube Preamp

Equipped with a Palathethic pickup and a CTP-3 Cool Tube preamp complete with a built-in tuner, the Takamine TH5C Hirade can be played acoustically or plugged into an amp. The widely variable, warm core sound is formed by an all-solid body that's made of a cedar soundboard and a rosewood back and sides, and can be carefully fine-tuned thanks to the 3-band EQ controls which include a semi-parametric mid-range frequency pot.
