Takamine

Takamine's stylish P5DC dreadnought cutaway combines tradition with contemporary refinements, including a resonant solid spruce top with scalloped "X" top bracing for superior clarity and projection, and a solid rosewood back with rosewood sides for a rich, warm sound. Built with the performer in mind, the P5DC features Takamine's proprietary CT4-DX preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic™ under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response. Other performance-enhancing features include a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard, and 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 elegant ivoroid body binding with dark wood purfling, an abalone rosette, 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 P5DC comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.
