The dreadnought design is one of the most popular among acoustic guitarists
Dreadnought
The so-called dreadnought design owes its name to battleships of the British Navy, the largest models of the first half of the 20th century. Due to their voluminous sound body, dreadnought guitars produce an assertive sound with rich basses that are especially popular in the country and folk music genres. The loud tones stand for expressive music and ideally meet the necessary stage requirements.
The combination of the tried and true and the exotic result in a balanced sound
Tonewoods and bracing: classic top on exotic body.
For a balanced sound, the strong basses due to the dreadnought shape are complemented by clear, bright nuances due to the sapele body and warm nuances due to the solid cedar top. While cedar is especially appreciated in guitar making for its quick sound development after a short playing-in period, Sapele is an exotic material that supports the balance of the sound character here. Also, the top bracing in the form of X-bracing is a real classic for stability, sound volume, Sustain and fast response.
Reinforcing elements also affect sound and durability
Intonation and tuning stability
In order to permanently withstand the string tension, other reinforcing elements play an important role in addition to the top bracing. This is ensured by the robust rosewood bridge, whose two-piece saddle made of bone provides additional support as well as clean intonation with the perfect transmission of the string vibration to the top. Meanwhile, die-cast chrome tuners guarantee high tuning stability for sustained tonal stability.
Clever construction and optimized dimensions make guitar playing extremely comfortable
Guitar neck with proven features
Due to its load capacity in combination with a comfortable weight, the slim mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard fits extremely well in the hand. In addition, the typical Takamine neck profile with its slight offset adapts naturally to the hand, while the nut width of 42.5 mm meets the requirements for powerful strumming and delicate flatpicking in every detail.
CT4B II for a transparent, dynamic guitar sound
Takamine CT4B II pickup
For a great sound when playing amplified, the P1DC Pro Series is equipped with the in-house Preamp CT4B II. This active system has numerous setting options that can be used to perfectly adjust the sound reproduction to any situation. In addition to volume control, it has a 3-band equalizer that allows individual adjustment of the bass, midrange and treble. The CT4B II is rounded off by an integrated chromatic tuner for clean tones.
