Description
The Takamine EF508KC acoustic-electric guitar is nothing short of stunning, both visually & sonically. The smaller NEX-shaped body is crafted with figured koa for the top, back & sides, a tonewood prized for it's warm & natural sound that starts out a little bright, then mellows out gradually with age. The comfortable mahogany neck plays like butter & features beautiful snowflake inlays fit for a guitar that looks this good everywhere else. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.
