The company grew throughout the sixties and became known as a pioneering, innovative brand, responsible for revolutionising electro-acoustic guitars with under-saddle pickups in the late-70s.

Takamine started here (in the town of Sakashita to be more precise) as a family-run industry back in 1959. Yes, but what’s all this about a mountain? Indeed, Mt Takamine itself, in central Japan. From their beginnings beneath a mountain in Japan to worldwide exposure via big name players like Bruce Springsteen choosing them above all other brands, Takamine are a brand that have defined Far Eastern guitar craft and become an institution.
