It also features a mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. Ultra-thin high gloss finish is then applied to allow every note to vibrate and shine as bright as the guitar itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with its extra-special nature, THE 60TH features an authenticated genuine diamond embedded as an inlay on the headstock over the “i” in the Takamine logo. Takamine’s 60th anniversary theme is also indicated in the guitar via a 31 piece diamond-image position marker inlaid at the 12th fret. THE 60TH also features hand-inlaid and painstakingly color-matched abalone purfling along the top, back, sides, and headstock, complimenting its natural maple binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE 60TH includes Takamine’s new CTF-2N preamplifier with the warm, dynamic sound of Takamine’s early FET preamp model, affectionately known as the “Brownie”, which offers 2-band EQ as well as modern conveniences like easy battery access, a chromatic tuner, and a notch filter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar is shipped in a very special hard case and includes a commemorative 60\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eanniversary key fob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction of THE 60TH will be limited to 60 individually numbered guitars worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer.
