Thermal top


I seldom mention acoustics here as I'm solid body inclined. Acoustic  guitars are a little struggle for me. Anyway, this year, Takamine has the thermal top models to offer.


As the name implies, the instruments' top material had been temperature treated to get rid of the moisture & relieved it of some weight as such. The manufacturer claims this is akin to what aged instruments have gone through over time; the latent moisture in the wood had dried up & we get that very sweet, balanced tone. 

Seen here are just 2 of the range on offer, the CP7MO & the cutaway EF450C.
