Takamine Makes a Splash with LTD-2002Jan 07, 2002 Takamine Guitars has introduced their Limited Edition guitar for 2002, featuring performance enhancements along with a stunning whale motif in the soundhole rosette and 12th fretboard. To give the guitar special purpose, the company partnered with The Cousteau Society to benefit the world's ocean habitats. Takamine will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of LTD-2002 models to The Cousteau Society. The instrument is a cutaway acoustic/electric dreadnought featuring Takamine's popular NEX body style. The select solid spruce top combined with the solid rosewood back top generates exceptional volume and brilliance with a deep and powerful bass. The mahogany neck joins the body at the 14th fret and features an ebony fingerboard and bridge. Takamine's renowned palathetic pickup and CT4B preamp give the instrument broad acoustic/electric flexibility. "Those of us in the music products industry are acutely aware of the need to wisely manage our natural resources. When we can call our customers' attention to this need, we feel as though we are making a small contribution to our collective future," commented Paul Damiano, vice president of sales and marketing for Kaman Music and longtime Cousteau Society member. Robert Steele, of The Cousteau Society was glad to welcome Takamine's contribution. "Besides our oceans, music is one of the great gifts that all humans share. The folks at Takamine have our sincere thanks for helping the cause." The Cousteau Society is a membership-supported not-for-profit organization dedicated to the protection and improvement of the quality of life for present and future generations. Founded in 1973 by Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the Society now has more than 150,000 members worldwide. For more information, visit their web site at www.takamine.com. |
