Takamine Japan Pro EF3815C Acoustic-Electric 12-String Guitar (Black) w/ Zipper Hard Case

New. Full warranty. Ships set-up and ready to play from Grassroots Music Store, your Authorized Takamine Dealer.

Known to be played by Bruce Springsteen, the Takamine Made-in-Japan EF381SC 12-String Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a stage-ready Pro Series instrument handcrafted in Takamine’s professional facility, where the company has been building precision-quality guitars for more than five decades.

A solid spruce top gives the EF381SC the versatility to move from sweet, articulate passages to powerful full-bodied chords, while the maple back and sides provide clarity, projection, and definition—especially important with the rich harmonic complexity of a 12-string. The dreadnought body delivers plenty of volume and presence, and the gloss black finish gives this longtime Takamine favorite its unmistakable stage-ready appearance.

The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a traditional, exceptionally strong dovetail neck joint, contributing to the guitar’s stability, resonance, and long-term durability.

For amplified performance, the EF381SC features Takamine’s renowned Palathetic™ under-saddle pickup paired with the CT4B II preamp system. The CT4B II provides natural, responsive amplified tone along with convenient onboard control, including a three-band EQ, volume control, and built-in tuner.
