collapse expand iconDescription

The Takamine Glenn Frey Signature dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar provides a faithful recreation of the Eagles legend's go-to instrument. Designed for singer-songwriters, its solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides produce a bold, balanced tone that cuts through any mix. The natural gloss finish and Glenn Frey's signature inside the circle at the headstock honor the guitar's inspiration. Onstage or in the studio, the CT4B II preamp system with 3-band EQ and tuner ensures optimal amplified sound.

Iconic Tonewoods for Power and Nuance

As with Glenn Frey's original dreadnought, the solid spruce top provides punchy projection, while the rosewood back and sides add depth and richness. The combination results in a versatile voice that handles both strumming and fingerpicking with equal ability. The scalloped X-bracing further enhances resonance and sustain. When playing, you'll experience the blend of power and nuance that made Glenn Frey's signature model legendary.

CT4B II Preamp for Natural Amplified Sound

The CT4B II preamp system authentically captures the Takamine Glenn Frey Signature's acoustic properties for inspiring amplified performance. Three bands of EQ allow you to shape the tone to suit your needs. A volume slider provides overall control, while a built-in tuner ensures you're always in tune. Whether onstage at a packed venue or recording in a studio, the CT4B II preamp conveys the natural acoustic sound that made Glenn Frey's Takamine iconic.

Details Mirror the Original

This signature dreadnought was crafted to meticulously recreate Glenn Frey's own Takamine. His initials in a circle adorn the headstock, just like the original. The natural gloss finish highlights the beautiful woodgrain. Chrome tuning machines, white binding and a rosewood fingerboard complete the vintage-inspired aesthetics. Overall, the premium components and construction result in an instrument destined to inspire songwriters and performers for generations, just as Glenn Frey's Takamine has.
