Description

Finely crafted in Japan, the Takamine EF450C Thermal Top Acoustic Guitar takes advantage of "Thermal Top" technology, in which the spruce wood for the guitar top is baked in a controlled high-heat, low-oxygen environment. This NEX model comes with a Venetian cutaway, solid "Thermal" spruce top, flamed maple back (solid) and sides, TLD-2 Line Driver electronics, gold hardware and a hardshell case.

    How does the preamp work? Any tone adjustments available? How do you change the battery? Is the preamp actually included in the price?
