Takamine P3MC Orchestra Electro Acoustic, Natural

Full Description

Diamond-studded sound

Fingerpick with every nuance of your tone ringing out in smooth clarity. Glide across those silky, intricate techniques, letting each note sing. The solid cedar top of the P3MC is perfect for fingerstyle players. Its premium quality tonal capabilities are sure to make your sound sparkle, as well as providing depth and resonance. With a focus on definition rather than dynamics, cedar produces a truly delicious sound that has warmth and articulation like no other. The ultimate acoustic tone.

You'll then have sapele back and sides providing a gorgeously full sound that complements cedar perfectly. Sapele's beautifully rich, balanced tone promises excellence across the whole frequency range.

Innovation at its finest

The P3MC is designed to make your playing experience easier than ever, and your sound more articulate than ever. Its cedar top is adorned with a rosewood bridge and split bone saddle, a clever design that produces immaculate intonation and tuning stability. You can count on complete accuracy every time you play. And you'll be able to change your strings quickly and easily too thanks to the pin-less base of the bridge. The benefits of speedy string changes are endless; not only can you spend more time doing what you love, but should your string snap mid song, you'll be able to replace it in the blink of an eye and get back to your mesmerising performance.

An exquisitely crafted body

The cedar/sapele construction of this guitar has been expertly sculpted into the orchestra shape, a shape which is narrower in width than most guitars. This is a blessing for players wanting a more intimate playing experience with enhanced manoeuvrability. Plus, thanks to its lightweight build, it is also wonderfully transportable, making it perfect for travelling with. And the benefits of the orchestra shape don’t stop there. Not only is it portable, but it also has an exquisite voice. You'll have full tonal power behind your chords as well as dazzling clarity carrying your fingerstyle techniques, something which this folk style model thrives with. Sparkly highs and strong mids all exude from the orchestra body, whilst stunning dynamics ensure your sound is heard by everyone in the room.

This gem of an acoustic is equipped with Takamine's CT4B-II preamp, an electronic system that allows you to tailor your tone to your exact preferences. Achieve pristine signal clarity thanks to the 3-band EQ and tune up quickly and easily with the built-in tuner, you'll have immaculate amplification that is sculpted your own unique way. Whether you're plugged into an amp or PA system, give your sound some extra oomph without sacrificing any natural, acoustic qualities.
