Takamine’s P4DC dreadnought cutaway combines tradition with contemporary refinements,
including a resonant solid spruce top with scalloped “X” top bracing
for superior clarity and projection,
and a solid sapele back with sapele sides for rich, warm sound.
Built with the performer in mind,
the P4DC features Takamine’s proprietary CTP-3 Cool Tube™
preamp system paired with the unique
Palathetic™ under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response.
The dual-channel CTP-3 provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright
and brilliant to thick and warm, three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange,
auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added),
and an onboard chromatic tuner.
Other performance-enhancing features include a convenient Venetian
cutaway for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard,
and Takamine’s asymmetrical neck profile –
which is slightly thinner on the bass side so that it fits the natural shape of your hand,
resulting in a comfortable feel and improved playability.
The split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, while the pin-less
rosewood bridge makes string changes a breeze.
Premium design appointments include elegant
ivory body binding with dark wood purfling,
a rosette featuring concentric rings and wood marquetry,
a rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and wood “dot-in-dot” inlays,
gold tuners with amber buttons, a natural bone nut,
elegant red tortoise pickguard and a gloss natural finish.
The PD4C comes complete with a premium archtop hardshell case.
