Manufactured at Takamine?s Pro factory, the EF341SC continues the legacy of models favored by professional musicians for decades. The "Thermal Top" technology replicates the tonal qualities of a naturally aged top, providing a guitar that is more stable against climate changes?ideal for both touring and studio use.
Versatile, it suits intermediate to expert guitarists, as well as ambitious beginners seeking a durable instrument. Its character shines in folk, pop, rock, vocal accompaniment, fingerpicking, and pick playing. The cutaway and comprehensive electronics make it a reliable choice for stage and recording.
The solid cedar top delivers warmth, roundness, and sensitivity to soft playing, while the maple back and sides add brightness and definition. The dreadnought body ensures breadth, projection, and sustain. Bone nuts enhance attack and note sustain. When plugged in, the CT4B II + Palathetic system faithfully reproduces the acoustic tone, with a precise 3-band EQ to shape mids and control bass in amplified settings (the "nut" guides the strings at the headstock and bridge, influencing tuning stability and vibration transmission).
- Phosphor bronze steel folk strings 12-53 (standard for dreadnought, balancing comfort and projection).
- Capo for steel-string folk guitar (nut width 42.5 mm).
- 9V battery for the CT4B II preamp.
- Case humidifier to maintain stable humidity.
- 6.35 mm / 1/4" instrument cable for output.
