2000s Takamine EF381SC 12-String Dreadnought Guitar

Here's a well-loved, well-worn, well-traveled Takamine 12 in the most practical of colors. It was just in for a fret level/dress and setup but it also got a new, fully-compensated bone saddle at the same time. I wish I'd had time to get a video for this one -- it sounds full, bright, and jangly and plays quick and easy.

A lot of gigging folks up here use older Takamines and I'm always surprised at how well they deal with abuse on the road. There are plenty of "greater" guitars that fall apart under constant stage use, but the vast majority of old Takamines just need a bit of mild TLC after lots of miles to get them back and running spot-on again.

Practicality noted!
