Explanation
Takamine / 1982 PT-015-ST
[Staff Comment: Inoue]
We have received the “PT-015〈ST〉,” a top-of-the-line model from Takamine’s “ST (Stereo) Series”—the epitome of the company’s cutting-edge technology at the time.
While Ovation’s pickup system was a pioneer in stereo output, this specification also made a huge impact on the Electric Acoustic guitar market of that era.
The instrument’s most notable feature is its ability to connect to two amplifiers, producing a stereo sound with overwhelming depth and breadth that seems to fill the space in every direction.
It is an innovative pickup system that was truly ahead of its time, leaving other manufacturers of the era in the dust.
Maple is used for the top, sides, back, and neck.
The fingerboard and bridge are crafted from ebony, reflecting the luxurious wood selection befitting a high-end model.
The combination of a deep wine-red finish that accentuates the beautiful wood grain and the all-maple body creates a striking presence that stands out on stage.
The superb sound is a harmonious blend of the excellent responsiveness unique to a maple body and Takamine’s proprietary stereo system. This legendary instrument, which encapsulates the passion and technical expertise of the craftsmen of that era, will go down in the history of Japanese vintage Electric Acoustic guitars.
