A special feature of many Takamine guitars is the “split saddle” design. This is one of the many factors that make Takamine guitars world-renowned for reliable, professional performance in both studio and stage environments. The split saddle helps solve a challenge that had plagued acoustic guitar builders for decades: intonation issues between the higher and lower-register strings.
The split saddle design itself is both clever and straightforward. It separates the saddle between the G and B strings to create two saddles — a longer one handling strings 3-6 and a separate shorter saddle for strings 1-2.
Both saddles are set at their own unique angles, giving the guitar the benefit of superior intonation. That means the tuning of the instrument stays more correct and consistent as you move up and down the neck.
Chords played higher on the fingerboard will sound as in tune as chords at lower positions, across all six strings. This is especially noticeable with open chords, or when using a capo.
