Overview

A full-sounding dreadnought with resonant tonewoods and state-of-the-art electronics.

The Takamine Pro Series 3 Dreadnought Cutaway 12-string acoustic-electric guitar delivers rich 12-string tone and smooth playability. With a solid cedar top and sapele back, it resonates with clarity and warmth perfect for any genre. Elegant appointments like the concentric ring rosette, ivory binding and wood dot inlays give it a classic look on stage. The CT4B II preamp system provides 3-band EQ and a built-in tuner for dialing in your amplified tone. The natural satin finish not only looks fantastic, but gives you a smooth feel during long practice or gigging sessions. With its cutaway dreadnought body shape, you'll have easy access to solo beyond the 10th fret. Let your ideas sing with the Takamine Pro Series 3.

Resonate With a Solid Cedar Top and Sapele Back

The solid cedar top is hand-scalloped with X bracing for excellent resonance across the tonal spectrum. With its crisp note articulation and balanced overtones, cedar makes an exceptional 12-string top wood. It's paired with a solid sapele back to add richness, depth and volume. Together, they create a dynamic acoustic tone perfect for any playing style. Whether you dig into the strings for aggressive strumming or pick softly for fingerstyle, the Pro Series 3 comes alive.

Appointed With Elegant Touches

Beautiful appointments give the Pro Series 3 an upscale, professional look on stage. The concentric ring rosette with wood marquetry provides a classy visual flair. Ivory binding and dark purfling outline the top, back and fingerboard with an elegant touch. Inlaid wood dot-in-dot fret markers are a nod to vintage style. With its natural satin finish and gold tuners with amber buttons, the Pro Series 3 is esthetically stunning.

Shape Your Sound With the CT4B II Preamp

The CT4B II preamp lets you shape your amplified tone with ease. Its 3-band EQ gives you control over the bass, midrange and treble frequencies. Boost mids to cut through a mix or turn down bass to tighten up the low end - it's all at your fingertips. The built-in chromatic tuner makes it easy to tune up before gigs. Volume control rounds out this professional preamp system.

Feel the Difference With a Split-Saddle Bridge

The split-saddle bone bridge provides excellent intonation by allowing precise saddle placement for each string pair. This means every note rings true up and down the neck. The bridge also gives enhanced acoustic coupling from the strings to the solid cedar top for dynamic tone and sustain. Combined with the smooth natural satin finish, you'll feel the difference during long practice and performing sessions.
