Takamine’s powerful P7D dreadnought combines traditional craft with contemporary refinements: a solid spruce top with “X” top bracing, solid rosewood back and sides for rich clarity and projection, and elegant maple body binding with dark wood purfling and abalone rosette. Built with the performer in mind, the P7D features Takamine’s proprietary CT4-DX preamp system paired with duo of the unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup and Takamine original soundboard transducer for peerless amplified response. The CT4-DX provides independent control over both pickups, each of which will then have two-band EQ and a notch filter control. You can also alter the mix levels of each of the pickups, and an onboard chromatic tuner.

Other performance-enhancing features include the split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, and the rosewood bridge features abalone-dot ivory pins.

Premium design appointments include an ebony fingerboard with ivory binding, abalone “snowflake” inlays, a dark rosewood headcap with abalone Takamine logo, gold tuners with gold buttons, a natural bone nut and smooth gloss natural finish. The P7D comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.
