Takamine used the 2005 Summer NAMM show to introduce the EF75J OM style guitar made with an AAA Sitka Spruce top with solid Brazilian Rosewood back and sides.

This collector level guitar is also stage and studio ready, as it is equipped with a new electronic system that matches the Takamine Palathetic pickup with an on-board class A G line driver mounted discreetly to the heel block inside the guitar. "We chose to power our exotic tonewood models without cutting the preamp mounting port in the side by using our new line driver mounted internally for fully active output," explained Mike Markure, Takamine product manager.

Retail: $4149.
