Takamines' P4DC cutaway combines tradition with contemporary refinements, including a resonant solid spruce top with scalloped X bracing for superior clarity and projection, and a solid sapele back with sapele sides for rich, warm sound. Built with the performer in mind, the P4DC features Takamine's CT4B II preamp system and proprietary Palathetic under-saddle pickup for superior amplified response. The acclaimed CT4B II features a three-band EQ, volume control and built-in tuner. Other performance-enhancing features include a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard, and Takamine's asymmetrical neck profile which is slightly thinner on the bass side so that it fits the natural shape of your hand, resulting in a comfortable feel and improved playability. The split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, while the pin-less rosewood bridge makes string changes a breeze. Premium design appointments include elegant ivory body binding with dark wood purfling, a rosette featuring concentric rings and wood marquetry, a rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and wood "dot-in-dot" inlays, gold tuners with amber buttons, a natural bone nut, elegant red tortoise pickguard and a gloss natural finish. Comes with Deluxe "Takamine" branded Archtop Hard case.
