Here's one of those little bits of guitar trivia
that never
fails to surprise people when you spring it at them:
Takimine
guitars are actually named after the Takamine
Mountains in
Sakashita, Japan. It's at the base of these
mountains that
Takamine guitars have been built for over 40 years!
What began
as a small family business has evolved into one of
the leading
guitar manufacturers in the world. The company
opened its
doors while guitar playing was gaining popularity in
Japan
during the early 60's. As business grew, the owners
saw the
need to develop their skills and attract design and
manufacturing
talent. One of the most important additions to the
company
was Mass Hirade, who joined Takamine in 1968 and
made great
improvements to the design and build quality. The
EF381SC
is in the company's Keystone Series and is a
beautiful example
of Takamine's commitment to building the highest
quality guitars
that still come with reasonable price tags. For
superior tone,
it has a solid cedar top and the time-tested formula
of mahogany
back and sides with a solid mahogany neck.

Single cutaway dreadnought style 12-string
The EF381SC is part of Takamine's Keystone Series, which combines all the features that make these dreadnoughts so playable with a special cutaway design that looks great and also allows access to the upper frets. Though 12-string guitars tend go in and out of fashion, the build quality of this instrument guarantees that it will be ready to perform for many years to come, regardless of the latest "flavor-of-the-day" music trends.

Solid cedar top with maple back and sides in Gloss Black
Part of the reason the EC381SC sounds so good is its solid cedar top. It delivers just the right balance of glossy highs with a tight low end that's never boomy. The maple back and sides match the top perfectly. The Gloss Black finish is a study in understated elegance.

Mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard
The EF381SC adds the strength and durability of a solid mahogany neck, assuring owners that the neck will be straight and true for a long time to come. A rosewood fingerboard is the classic choice. Here it's fully bound for a very elegant look.
