Takamine Factory Tour by Premier Guitar

In September, we sent Takamine's director of product development Tom Watters to Japan along with Premier Guitar associate editor Chris Kies for a firsthand look inside the famous Takamine factory in Nakatsugawa. What resulted was perhaps the most thorough look inside one of the world's most respected guitar manufacturing facilities. Get a snack, sit back, and check out the entire process involved in making Takamine's Japan-built Pro Series, Legacy Series, Signature Series, Limited Edition, and other instruments handcrafted at the foot of Mt. Takamine by our renowned luthiers!

Hallo Tom, ein wunderschönes Video. Selbst ich mit meinen geringen Englischkenntnissen habe das meiste verstanden. Es hat lange gedauert, dich im Netz zu finden. Solltes es dich mal wieder Europa oder gar nach Deutschland ziehen, melde dich. Ich hoffe mein Acount mit Adresse usw geht dann. Musik ist ja in unserer Familie seit Generationen ein großes Thema. Liebe Grüße aus Germany! Dein Cousin Hinrich Steffens

Danke, Hinrich! Viele Grüße aus sonnigen California auch!

After watching the video, I bought a Takamine Peace 2020 in the Ochanomizu district.  It has an amazing sound!
