With humble beginnings in 1959 as a small family-run guitar shop nestled at the foot of Mount Takamine in central Japan, the company took the mountain’s name in 1962 and began a journey that led to phenomenal global success. Takamine’s longstanding devotion to innovation and continual improvement has placed it among the world’s premier acoustic guitar makers. The company revolutionised amplified acoustic performance by pioneering the under-saddle Palathetic™ pickup system in 1978.

Today, Takamine Pro Series guitars are carefully constructed in the foothills of the Japanese Alps by dedicated artisans, using only the finest seasoned woods and a combination of modern woodworking techniques with traditional hand craftsmanship.
