Each Takamine guitar features only the finest well-seasoned woods and is made using a combination of modern woodworking techniques and traditional hand craftsmanship. Further, this guitar embodies the elegant aesthetics and masterful precision that only comes from decades of devotion to the craft of luthiery. Takamine's P6JC jumbo cutaway model is loud and forceful, with a resonant solid Spruce top with "X" top bracing for maximum volume, a solid flame Maple back and flame maple sides, a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fretboard, and elegant body binding with black and white purfling and Mother of Pearl rosette. Built with the performer in mind, the P6JC features Takamine's proprietary CTP-3 Cool Tube preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic under saddle pickup for peerless amplified response. The dual channel CTP-3 provides low voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added), and an onboard chromatic tuner. Other performance enhancing features include Takamine's 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 break angle to improve sustain and presence. Premium design appointments include an Ebony fretboard with Ivory binding and Mother of Pearl "snowflake" inlays, a black headcap, gold tuners with pearl buttons, a natural bone nut and gloss brown sunburst finish. This P6JC comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.
