The TH90 Hirade concert classic is handcrafted in our pro series facility that has been building precision quality instruments over five decades. A sterling example of the luthier's art, these classical guitars that bear the name of Master Luthier Mass Hirade are still built by hand in our Takamine pro facility in Japan. Features the unique look and sonic enhancement of an oval soundhole and a solid spruce top for powerful lows, shimmering mids and a clear high end. The solid rosewood back and sides enhance the projection and add to the overall beauty of the guitar. This guitar is popular with latin and flamenco players. Gloss natural finish provides durability and adds to the beauty of the guitar. Includes Takamine's PalatheticGäó pickup, known in the industry as one of the most accurate and natural sounding acoustic/electric pickups. The electronic performance package is beyond state of the art with the Cool Tube® Preamp GÇô the first and only tube preamp in an acoustic guitar.
