This vintage Takamine F-400 12-string is a highly collectible acoustic dreadnought from the Japanese "lawsuit era" of the late 1970s and early '80s . You get a guitar that was essentially a close copy of a Martin D-18 12-string, a fact that has made these models sought after for their exceptional value and vintage character . The guitar features a laminated spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard . The Martin-esque headstock carries the original Takamine & Co. logo.
Play it and you will hear an incredibly rich, resonant, and classic 12-string sound, offering the depth and projection of a much more expensive vintage American guitar . Its full dreadnought body and aged tonewoods produce a loud, balanced voice with plenty of sustain and shimmering highs. This is the sound that won over players during its era and continues to make these Takamines highly desirable performers. It comes with a Martin hardshell case.
