Takamine presents a Peace offering: its breathtaking limited-edition 2020 acoustic
The LTD2020 boasts striking Green Tea finish, olive-branch-and-dove fingerboard inlay
Takamine has introduced its LTD2020 acoustic guitar, a limited-edition model created as a showcase for the company’s custom shop master luthiers.
The concert-sized acoustic boasts a spruce top, ovangkol back and sides, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard.
Adornments include a stained Green Tea Gloss finish on the top, as well as an olive-branch-and-dove fingerboard motif hand-inlaid on the fingerboard using multi-colored stone and shell, meant to express a “wonderful message of peace.”
The LTD2020, which comes loaded with Takamine’s CT4-DX preamp system, is available beginning in April for £2,499 (approx. $3,240).
