Takamine LTD 2010 Iki

 

With the Takamine LTD2011 Iki, Takamine introduces the limited edition for 2011. As every year, the limited edition follows a certain theme, in the case of the Takamine LTD2011 Iki it's the Japanese "Iki", which stands for the traditional aesthetic ideal of an emotional connection between the person and the object. This is mirrored, first of all, in the Takamine LTD2011 Iki's extraordinary looks: the shell goldfish, surrounded by gold string, swimming about in the fretboard and the indigo blue top of the Takamine LTD2011 Iki emphasize the Japanese touch of this instrument. Yet the sound is totally on par with the stunning looks, as the Takamine LTD2011 Iki features a very balanced sound, not least because of the Nex bodyshape with cutaway. Together with the mahogany body, the solid spruce top of the Takamine LTD2011 Iki guarantees a smooth and expressive tone that fits vocals but also responds to more aggressive playing techniques with power and clarity. The excellent sound of the Takamine LTD2011 Iki is congenially captured by the CTP-2 preamp with integrated tube.
