Takamine P5DC Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar w/ Pickup & Cutaway – Limited Release Whiskey Brown Gloss

Made in Japan

Takamine Pro Series guitars are carefully hand made in the foothills of the Japanese Alps. In their Atelier, at the foot of Takamine Mountain, dedicated and highly skilled artisans create instruments of special beauty.

Each Takamine guitar features the finest hand selected, well seasoned tonewoods, which are then painstakingly assembled using a combination of modern woodworking techniques and traditional hand craftsmanship.

Precision, Art and Elegance are all hallmarks of Japanese culture and each Takamine guitar embodies those aesthetics and masterful precision that only comes from decades of devotion to the craft of luthiery.

The Takamine TP5DCWB Pro Series guitar has been crafted with the player in mind.

Takamine’s gorgeous TP5DCWB is a Dreadnought Guitar with Cutaway that has successfully combined tradition with contemporary refinements. The resonant solid Spruce top features scalloped “X” top bracing for superior clarity and projection.

Rosewood is renowned as a superb tonewood but, due to CITES restrictions, it has become increasingly difficult to source with guitar manufacturers forced to use alternative species. The TP5DCWB has a solid Rosewood back with Rosewood sides for that traditionally rich, warm sound.

While the TP5DCWB is a magnificent acoustic Guitar, on-stage and studio duties often require different attributes. Takamine’s have included their proprietary CTP-3 Cool Tube™ preamp system and paired it with the unique Palathetic™ under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response.

The dual-channel CTP-3 preamp provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added) as well as an onboard chromatic tuner.

Other performance-enhancing features include a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard and Takamine’s asymmetrical neck profile – which is slightly thinner on the bass side so that it fits the natural shape of your hand, resulting in a comfortable feel and improved playability.

The split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, while bridge pin positioning optimises the break angle to improve sustain and presence.

Premium design appointments include elegant ivory body binding with dark wood purfling, an abalone rosette, a rosewood fingerboard with beautifully detailed abalone “dot-in-dot” inlays, a rosewood headcap, gold tuners with gold buttons, a natural bone nut and a special limited release “Whiskey Brown” gloss finish.

The P5DC-WB comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.

Your brand new Takamine TP5DCWB has also undergone a thorough inspection and PRO-SCM setup with fret ends hand rolled and polished and the guitar setup to play like a dream.

Our Pro-SCM setup includes:

  • Check that the action meets factory or your specifications
  • Check and rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
  • Check and adjust the nut and bridge string heights
  • Hand roll the fret ends to deburr the sharp edges and polish the frets
  • Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
  • Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
  • Tune to pitch

As a paid service this setup can easily cost $200 or more – it’s included in our price.
