    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

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

                  Very good video. This answered a lot of questions!

                  I was especially interested in the neck fitting portion of this video, as I have done a few neck resets on Takamines and was looking forward to seeing how they were fit.

                  Earlier in the video we can clearly see craftsmen using protein glue and Titebond. Can anyone verify firsthand what adhesive is used in the neck joint? Per communication with Takamine Japan and my own firsthand experience, they are still using Epoxy in the neck joint which is nearly impossible to release with heat. 

                  I've also noted that, in the past, the stabilizer bars that help keep the neck in place over the body have been steel instead of Maple. Is there any specific time we can know they made that switch, or is it dependent upon the model?

                    They use epoxy. I have not seen steel on any of the models, however they may have done this in the past.
