With Takamine’s distinctive NEX body style, the P5NC is a singer’s delight, combining the power of a dreadnought with balanced tone that perfectly complements the vocal range. It features a resonant solid spruce top with “X” top bracing for superior balance and articulation, solid rosewood back and rosewood sides, a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard, and elegant ivory body binding with dark wood purfling and abalone rosette. Built with the performer in mind, the P5NC 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 the break angle to improve sustain and presence. Premium design appointments include a rosewood fingerboard with abalone “dot-in-dot” inlays, a rosewood headcap, gold tuners with gold buttons, a natural bone nut and gloss natural finish. The P5NC comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.   ESSENTIAL FEATURES Soundboard: Solid Spruce Back & Sides: Solid Rosewood/Rosewood Fingerboard: Rosewood   Scale Length: 25 3/8" (645mm) Width at Nut: 1 11/16" (43mm) Spacing at Saddle:    Body Type: NEX Auditorium w/ Venetian Cutaway Construction:  Neck: Mahogany (asymmetrical) Frets: Abalone Dot-in Dot   Saddle & Nut: Bone, Split Saddle Bridge: Rosewood Bindings: Ivory & Dark Wood Rosette: Abalone Finish: Natural Gloss   Electronics: CTP-3 Cool Tube Pre Amp System & Palathetic Under-Saddle Pickup Tuners: Gold/Gold Strings:  Add'l Details: Rosewood Headcap   Origin: Japan Extras: Deluxe Archtop Hardshell Case   THE INSTRUMENT'S FAMILY The original Takamine body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart.
