Gorgeous limited edition guitar with inlays that honor the natural flora and fauna of Takamine's hometown.
The Gifu-Cho's most obvious appointment is the delicately inlaid butterflies along the pickguard and fingerboard. This inlay artwork heralds the arrival of the spring season. The butterflies, also known as “Spring Ephemeral”, cannot survive in the deep forest. They only thrive for a short time in the hills and meadows between the forest and the villages of Gifu. During this brief period, they flutter around the violet flowers as if enjoying their relationship with the neighboring human beings.
The LTD-2018 Gifu-Cho is an NEX-sized acoustic-electric guitar with a solid cedar top and ovangkol back and sides. It features a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard and pickguard inlaid with the beautiful abalone “Gifu-Cho” motif described above. The guitar features Takamine’s renowned Palathetic pickup with a CTP-3 CoolTube preamp, a bone nut and saddle, abalone purfling and rosette, and gold tuning machines with ivoroid buttons. It has a unique "antique whitewash" treatment to the cedar top, along with ivoroid binding and a superb gloss natural finish. The LTD-2018 Gifu-Cho is shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity from Takamine.
Case included.
