With the EF341SC2 Black, Takamine, Japan’s renowned guitar maker, presents a dreadnought-format electro-acoustic guitar designed for performance and tone. This model stands out with its bold, resonant sound, making it a favorite in folk and rock genres. Thanks to its built-in pickup system, the EF341SC2 is perfectly suited for both stage and studio use, offering a professional-grade setup. Design elements like the convenient cutaway and premium finish add to the instrument’s appeal – both in terms of playability and aesthetics. For added practicality, the guitar comes with a soft case featuring backpack straps for easy transport.
The dreadnought body shape naturally delivers impressive volume and a rich low-end response, ideal for dynamic, full-bodied acoustic sound. The solid cedar top contributes warmth and clarity, with articulate overtones and quick sound development – even after minimal playing time – making the guitar stage-ready from day one. Maple back and sides provide a crisp high-mid presence and long sustain, resulting in a balanced, expressive tonal profile.
Alongside its tonal strengths, the EF341SC2 also excels in playability. The cutaway design grants effortless access to the upper frets, expanding the range for soloing and more complex chord voicings. The mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard fits comfortably in the hand, allowing smooth transitions and relaxed chord changes. High-quality, tuning-stable machine heads ensure reliable intonation and uninterrupted play.
Built with the stage in mind, the EF341SC2 features Takamine’s CT-4B II preamp system, offering high-fidelity sound capture and detailed tone shaping. The system includes a 3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble) for real-time tonal adjustments, a volume control for seamless adaptation to any venue, and a built-in tuner for quick, on-the-fly tuning. Whether in a studio setting or live on stage, every nuance of your playing is accurately captured and reproduced.
Visually, the EF341SC2 Black leaves a lasting impression. The sleek black high-gloss finish radiates understated elegance, while the matching black pickguard offers discreet protection against pick wear. White body binding and a simple rosette with concentric rings provide visual contrast and enhance the guitar’s contours. Delicate fingerboard inlays add a subtle touch of refinement, offering both orientation and aesthetic charm.
