Instrument Categories: Acoustic Steel String, Guitars, SOLD
The Takamine 45th Sapphire Anniversary in 2007 marked decades of Takamine’s presence in the acoustic guitar world. For some years, Takamine steel strings were the instrument of choice for country players, as they were one of the first with a reliable built-in pickup system.
Today we’re looking at a very clean example of the Takamine 45th Sapphire, listed as number 27. It is built with solid Bearclaw spruce top and African Rosewood back and sides. The fingerboard and bridge are ebony with abalone or paua shell inlays.
This guitar is in overall good condition and plays easily – the last owner had it set to fairly low action. There’s light fret wear in the low positions but it plays cleanly. The finish is clean, with a very few light marks here and there.
The original hardshell case is included.
