Takamine EH5C Hirade Classical Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Nylon-String Guitar

The EH5C from Takamine is a classical cutaway acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar with a solid cedar top, solid rosewood back and sides and a gloss natural finish.

The EH5C Hirade concert classic is handcrafted in Takamine's pro series facility that has been building precision quality instruments over five decades. A sterling example of the luthier's art, these classical guitars that bear the name of Master Luthier Mass Hirade are still built by hand in the Takamine pro facility in Japan. This guitar features a solid cedar top for warmth and broad dynamic range and a solid rosewood back for excellent projection. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar.

These instruments are designed and built to stand beside the finest classical guitars made today. Includes Takamine's CT-4BII preamp system. Comes with SH300A semi-hard case. The classical body and wide, flat fingerboard follow traditional nylon-string design, with room for the fretting hand in fingerstyle playing. Plugged in, the onboard Takamine CT4B II preamp provides three-band EQ, a volume control and a built-in tuner.
