General

The EF340S-TT is an electro-acoustic dreadnought guitar from the sublime EF series by Takamine. This steel-string guitar stands out from the rest with its solid mahogany sides and back and solid spruce Thermal Top. As you can expect from Takamine, when it comes to sound and playability, this instrument is simply top-notch. The EF340S-TT is a brand-new guitar that offers the feel and sound of a vintage model at a more affordable price than an actual original. It has a natural finish and comes complete in its own hardshell case.

EF340S-TT: Thermal Top and Solid Wood

This guitar is equipped with a solid spruce top that has been specially treated with Takamine's Thermal Top technology. After being baked in controlled high-heat, low-oxygen environment, the spruce top of this steel-string EF guitar is able to reproduce an authentic vintage sound. The back and sides, meanwhile, are made of solid American mahogany. The different wood types are complemented by a set-in mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard. This acoustic guitar's sound is described as classic and creamy with crystal-clear accents in the mids.

Palathetic Pickup and TLD-2 Preamp

The compensated bridge saddle and the string nut also play a crucial role in this Takamine EF340S-TT's sublime tone and precise intonation. In order to amplify this sound as accurately as possible, this high-gloss dreadnought is equipped with a Palathetic piezo pickup and a TLC-2 Line Driver. Using the set-and-forget 3-band equalizer, you can fine-tune this Takamine steel-string guitar's amplified sound quality to perfection.
