A resonant 12-string dreadnought with elegant appointments and state-of-the-art electronics for exquisite acoustic tone.
The Takamine P3DC 12-string dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric guitar gives you rich 12-string tone and premium quality. With resonant tonewoods, elegant appointments, smooth playability and advanced electronics, it provides an exquisite acoustic experience for serious musicians on stage and off.
Premium Tonewoods Produce Full Resonance
The solid cedar top is carefully braced to freely vibrate, projecting 12-string shimmer. Paired with sapele back and sides, you'll enjoy warm, balanced tone with impressive resonance and sustain. The neck's mahogany construction adds midrange warmth and clarity. Together, these premium tonewoods create the full, jangly 12-string sound this Takamine is known for.
Play Comfortably With Elegant Appointments
The neck's oval profile and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar and smooth under your fingers. Dot-in-dot position markers help you navigate the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with wood binding. Machine heads with amber buttons smoothly and accurately tune the 12 strings. A natural satin finish protects the tonewoods while emphasizing their beauty. These elegant touches make playing the P3DC 12-string comfortable and inspiring.
Shape Your Tone With Advanced Electronics
Takamine's CT4B II preamp gives you control over your amplified tone. A built-in tuner ensures each of the 12 strings is pitch perfect. Three-band EQ allows you to adjust the bass, midrange and treble frequencies to suit your needs. A volume slider provides overall level control. With a natural acoustic voice and the ability to refine your tone, this guitar is ideal for both live performance and recording.
Unique Split-Saddle Bridge
Takamine's split-saddle bone bridge gives you faultless intonation for complex chordal playing. The innovative design provides excellent acoustic coupling, allowing the bridge to transfer string vibrations efficiently to the resonant top. You'll appreciate the clarity and sustain this bridge produces.
Premium Style
With its natural satin finish, wood rosette, ivory binding and gold tuners, this guitar has an elegant, polished look. The dark wood purfling and concentric circle rosette add visual detail. Whether onstage or off, this guitar's premium materials and craftsmanship are apparent at a glance. Its stylish looks match its lush, resonant tone.
