Takamine’s P5JC jumbo cutaway model is loud and forceful, with a resonant solid spruce top with “X” top bracing for maximum volume, rosewood back and sides, a convenient Venetian cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard, and elegant ivory body binding with dark wood purfling and abalone rosette. Built with the performer in mind, it features Takamine’s proprietary CT4-DX preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic® under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response. The CT4-DX provides ultimate in preamp flexibility used with the single Palathetic under-saddle pickup, it offers four-band EQ(low, low mid, high mid, high) and two notch filter controls to reduce feedback, and an onboard chromatic tuner.

Other performance-enhancing features include the split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, while bridge pin positioning optimizes the break angle to improve sustain and presence.

Premium design appointments include a rosewood fingerboard with ivory and abalone “dot-in-dot” inlays, a rosewood headcap, gold tuners with gold buttons, a natural bone nut and gloss natural finish. The P5JC comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.
