Vintage orchestra tone meets modern playability in Takamine's P3MC acoustic-electric.
The Takamine P3MC Pro Series Orchestra cutaway acoustic-electric guitar gives you the warmth and projection of a classic orchestra model with modern playability and electronics. The solid cedar top provides a balanced, articulate tone with rich overtones, while the sapele back and sides add depth and resonance. An elegant cutaway and slim mahogany neck grant you full access to the rosewood fingerboard. The unique split-saddle bridge results in superior intonation for chordal accompaniment or melodic lead lines.
Premium Components for Superior Sound
Takamine hand-selected premium tonewoods for the P3MC to give you an acoustic voice with subtle nuance and power. The solid cedar top features hand-scalloped X-bracing that allows the wood to vibrate freely, producing notes with shimmering overtones that bloom as you play. Sapele back and sides provide a robust low end with clear mids, complementing the cedar top beautifully. These all-solid woods generate a full, balanced tone ideal for any style.
Cutaway Comfort and Playability
The P3MC's Venetian cutaway gives you full access to upper frets for leads or chords. Its slim mahogany neck and 20-fret rosewood fingerboard feel smooth and fast in your hands. Dot-in-dot fingerboard inlays provide an elegant touch. The bone nut and split-saddle bridge optimize string spacing and height for buzz-free playability. Gold tuners with amber buttons add vintage style. Overall, the P3MC is designed for comfortable, inspiring play.
State-of-the-Art Electronics and EQ
Takamine equipped the P3MC with their acclaimed CT4B II preamp system for a natural plugged-in sound. It features three-band EQ, volume control and an onboard tuner. Shape your amplified tone with the bass, mid and treble sliders, which provide up to five decibels of cut or boost. The tuner allows silent tuning onstage or in practice. Whether recording direct or performing live, the CT4B II preamp gives you full control over your P3MC's voice.
