Limited Edition 2022

Overview

Talk about celebrating in grand style. Takamine is marking its 60-year diamond anniversary with the greatly anticipated LTD2022 Acoustic-electric guitar.

This gorgeous handcrafted instrument leverages a combination of contemporary touches and some that harken back to the company's early days. A stunning figured spruce and koa construction ensure rich, full projection whether you flatpick or fingerpick, and a CTF-2N pre-amp system promises superb plugged-in tone. Visually speaking, gold hardware, genuine abalone binding, and a commemorative diamond-shaped inlay on the 12th fret mark this milestone in shimmering fashion. Anxiously awaited by guitarists, the LTD2022 is a stunning achievement that many admire but few will own - with a limited production of only 36 in the United States, you better act fast!

A heartfelt homage to Takamine aesthetics

Takamine LTD models are always extra special. For the LTD2022, the Takamine design team crafted a noble tribute to the company's earliest guitar builds of the 1960s. These early instruments drew inspiration from classical guitars and added features that we now know and love, such as soundhole X-bracing and body cutaways for improved access to upper frets. The LTD2022's familiar concert body style has all the aforementioned '60s Takamine innovations, plus additional refinements that make it a treat to play.

CTF-2N active preamp system

Onboard is a brand-new CTF-2N pre-amp system that refines and revives the sound of Takamine's popular early FET preamps (nicknamed "The Brownie"). The CTF-2N combines a 2-band EQ and volume sliders with a notch filter (-6dB and -12dB options), which are extremely useful for cutting out unwelcome feedback-causing frequencies that affect your tone. With a simple preamp interface and a chromatic tuner that are easy to use on the fly, the LTD2022 is a performance workhorse that's set to steal any show visually and sonically.

Limited-edition rarities

The LTD2022's figured spruce body and koa sides are constructed from premium solid wood with unique grain patterns that positively shimmer under stage lighting. A comfortable "C"-shaped mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard with brilliant white binding made from genuine abalone shell guarantee smooth playing that's balanced across the neck. Plus, a diamond-shaped inlay - this model's crowning jewel that graces the 12th fret - is an undeniable luxury touch that you won't find anywhere else.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

Awesome music shop! Very clean, not crowded. Lots of guitars for everyone's musical taste. The staff is super nice, and very informative. I can't say enough good things about Picker's Alley! Thank you so much for serving Southwestern Ontario with such awesome service!!

Pat P

Great music store. Messaged them about a sale item and they put the last one aside for me until I could get there to purchase.

Tim Clements

Tony is by far the best customer service rep around, He knows his stuff, and is always willing to go above and beyond, I only go to pickers alley, for all my musical needs!!

Ryan Mathews

Excellent service, in one word they know what they are doing just tell them your requirement and budget. Don't worry about price if you see it online it's the same price here in offline too. Best thing is the owner's humour and focus on your requirement more than the sales of the store.

Very very happy and satisfied and will be back for additional requirements.

Adhish Prasai

What a great selection of guitars and amps. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. If they don't have what you need chances are they can source it for you. Prices are as competitive as big box music stores so there is no need to look elsewhere. I will continue to support local when I can.
