1993 Takamine Santa Fe - Celebrity Limited Edition (ESF 93 LTD Edition)

Here's an extremely nice Takamine Santa Fe Limited Edition. There were only 1100 of these ever made! and they were made and sold between June and September of 1993. It's a cut above anything that you can imagine. It's truly a rare find for any Artist, Collector or even an Investor and is a great stage and recording guitar.

The guitar comes equipped with a double-bound body, solid cedar top, rounded cutaway, Lacewood back and sides, mahogany neck, 21-fret rosewood fretboard with Turquoise inlays, split saddle Rosewood bridge, black crows motif soundhole rosette, Lacewood headstock overlay with vertical logo and turquoise dot inlays, gold tuners with amber pearloid buttons, Fishman Transducer pickup system, 3-band EQ and volume, 15-5/8'' lower bout, 25.5'' scale, 1-11/16'' nut width, 3-11/16'' to 4-5/16'' body depth, built in Japan, with tan wooden OHSC (brown lining)

SONORITÉS

Testimony : "I have been playing for 30 years. Played Martins, Guilds, Gibsons, Fenders, Ovations, Taylors and a host of others. I own a few mid priced Takamines but this Takamine is different and it's one of my favorite guitars ever. It just fits me very well. The action, the neck size, the fret size are all perfect for me. I have heard better tone, but not a ton better, on some very high end guitars but none have been as fun to play as this. For the price this guitar compares to some of the best."

You can pay big bucks for Taylor and Martin but why? Just to say you own one? This is one very nice high end Takamine for very serious players.
