❌SOLD❌ Takamine Toby Keith EF250TK Sunburst, 2016

Here is a stunning jumbo body guitar ideal for stage performance – a Takamine Toby Keith, based on the EF250 he played for many years and is now a signature model.  

Drawing from classic Jumbo American guitars like the J-200 and F-500, the Takamine Toby Keith pairs a solid Sitka Spruce top with Flamed Maple for the cutaway, 17 inch wide body. The neck is Maple with Ebony used for the bound fingerboard, and Rosewood for the top-loading bridge. The inlays are Mother of Pearl and Abalone, with an Abalone ring at the rosette. The Gotoh tuners and endpin / output jack are gold coloured, and the controls for the CTB4 II pickup – preamp system are mounted on the bass side near the heel.

Dating to 2016 and Handcrafted in Japan, this Takamine Toby Keith is in great condition, has been well set up and sounds great. Acoustically, it’s not as loud as one might suspect from the size, but that’s a choice to help the pickup work better at stage volumes.

The original hard shell case is included.
