The Takamine DSF48C Santa-Fe is crafted in Takamine's Pro line factory in Japan which has been crafting professional level instruments for over 50 years. Built with only the highest quality materials consisting of a solid spruce top paired with a solid rosewood back to give great acoustic projection and clarity. The Santa-Fe range is built around a south west native American theme with details such as Eagle fingerboard inlays, black crow rosette, gloss finish and gold machine heads with amber pearl keys.
Built for the everyday gigging musician the DSF48c comes fitted with Takamine's own CT4-DX preamp which pairs a unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup and Takamine original soundboard transducer. The CT4-DX provides independent control over both pickups, each of which will then have two-band EQ and a notch filter control. You can also alter the mix levels of each of the pickups, and an onboard chromatic tuner.
