Takamine Guitars

 

For more than half a century, Takamine has proudly dedicated itself to the art of fine guitar craftsmanship.

At Takamine, we're artisans and craftspeople at heart. We aim to craft guitars in an artful, thoughtful way, instruments that take your performance to new heights. High-volume builders use production machinery to speed up their output, but speed isn't the issue for us, it's the quality of the instrument. We’re proud of the level of our craftsmanship, and we invite you to see it for yourself by taking a close look at our instruments, part by part.

Takamine's longstanding devotion to innovation and continual improvement has placed it among the world's premier acoustic guitar makers, with truly fine instruments that are the first choice of performing guitarists worldwide.

With humble beginnings in 1959 as a small family-run guitar shop nestled at the foot of Mount Takamine in the central Japanese town of Sakashita, the fledgling company took the

mountain's name in 1962 and began in earnest the journey that led to the phenomenal success that is the modern Takamine company.
