The Takamine CRN-TS1 is a hand-built slope-shoulder dreadnought from Takamine's high-end custom shop, featuring premium tonewoods and craftsmanship that put it on a level with significantly more expensive instruments. The slope-shoulder body shape produces a focused, articulate voice well-suited for fingerstyle and flatpicking alike, while a natural gloss finish lets the tonewoods speak visually and sonically. PLEK'd setup ensures perfect intonation and playability right out of the box.
