A Stage Favorite

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.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

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.

Sound Characteristics

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).
