Electro-acoustic dreadnought that owns arena stages and TV sets.

Takamine's EF341SC pairs a solid cedar top with maple back and sides plus the reliable CT4B-II preamp, making it a favorite for artists needing consistent plugged-in tone. Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi adopted the black-finished model for its feedback resistance under bright lights.
