The DH90 Hirade concert classic is handcrafted in our pro series facility that has been building precision quality instruments over sixty years. A sterling example of the luthier's art, these classical guitars that bear the name of Master Luthier Mass Hirade are still built by hand in our Takamine pro facility in Japan. Features the unique look and sonic enhancement of an oval soundhole and a solid spruce top for powerful lows, shimmering mids and a clear high end. The solid rosewood back and sides enhance the projection and add to the overall beauty of the guitar. This guitar is popular with latin and bossa nova players. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar. Includes Takamine's CT4-DX preamp with not only the legendary Palathetic pickup, but with an additional soundboard transducer. The dual-channel CT4-DX provides high and low frequency adjustments, and a notch filter for each pickup, and then allows you to blend them together for a very natural, detailed sound. The preamp also features a chromatic tuner. Comes with the SH300A semi-hard case for great lightweight protection when going to your next gig.
