Takamine TT Thermal Top Acoustic Guitars

For recording, a torrefied solid spruce top is a real advantage. The Takamine TT Series is designed to sound played-in from day one, so you can get a mature acoustic tone on the first take without waiting for the guitar to open up. These are Japan-made EF models with a legacy-grade build, suited to tracking parts that need to sit well in a mix.

The cutaway models include CoolTube electronics, which gives you a direct-input option alongside mic'd capture. That is handy for quick demos and layered sessions, or for blending a line signal with a microphone. The series covers the EF360SC TT, EF400SC TT, EF450C-TT NEX, EF340S-TT, EF360S-TT and EF740FS-TT, plus the EF75M TT orchestra model for a different voice on the session.
