Takamine Elite TW-13 Takamine Elite Martin D-28 copy model, includes hard case Fully maintained Originally, this guitar was given to my father by an acquaintance. My father was very impressed with its sound and had it fully maintained to bring it back to life. The rusty pegs have been replaced, so there are traces of the screw holes, but it uses the same Rotomatic style [milk bottle pegs] as the 1980s D-28, and the bridge is also the same belly bridge specification as the original. Nut and saddle have been replaced. Also, since this is an adjustable saddle, you can easily adjust the string height to your liking. My father preferred a low string height, so it's set low at about 2.3mm at the 12th fret of the 6th string and 1.4mm at the 12th fret of the 1st string. The neck is almost straight, and the frets are more than 80% remaining. The neck is also thin and very easy to play! There are some minor scratches here and there, but I think the condition is good for a guitar from over 50 years ago! The case was repurposed from something in the warehouse, so it smells a bit like a warehouse. Please consider it for transportation. m(__)m Thank you very much!(*´▽｀*) [Excerpt from the internet below] This TAKAMINE Elite TW-13 is a rare acoustic guitar manufactured by the Japanese guitar maker "Takamine" in the 1970s. "Elite" was a brand launched by Takamine at the time to pursue higher quality models. While referencing guitars from famous overseas manufacturers, it was manufactured with Takamine's unique high technical skills and interpretation. Therefore, it is not just a copy model, but it is characterized by the delicate and careful craftsmanship of Japanese-made guitars and a warm and deep sound. [Sound and Playability] Mahogany is used for the sides and back of the body, producing a rich mid-range and warm sound. Fingerpicking: Each note stands out clearly, allowing for the expression of delicate nuances. Strumming: When strummed powerfully, the entire body resonates, allowing you to enjoy a powerful sound. The neck is relatively thin for the models of the time, and it has a grip that is close to that of current guitars, so anyone from beginners to veterans can play comfortably. Thank you for reading to the end.
