Description


Surrounded by the desert and badland regions of Texas, Arizona and Colorado, New Mexico's Santa Fe remains the wild west of cowboy movies and the frontier tales of the 1800s. Alongside Santa Fe, famous towns of old abound in the region; Albuquerque, Durango, Flagstaff, Gallup, Phoenix, Tucson, Amarillo, Lubbock. Throw in a couple of names with more recent history, such as Roswell and the Los Alamos and Alamagordo nuclear facilities, and you have an area resonant with storytelling and mystique – perfect for pondering, as you sit in the shade of a tall cactus, plucking away on a nice six-string.

 

Modern greats in acoustic guitars

And this is a really nice six-string! Designed as both a visual and sonic tribute to the southwest, as soon as the first model in the limited edition series appeared in 1993, the Pro Series immediately garnered a reputation as some of the modern greats in acoustic guitars.

 

Ebony, Purple Heart, Turquoise

Featuring Indian Rosewood back & sides, a solid Cedar top, and pro-grade electronics, plus the added charm and drop-dead styling of the southwest themes. Our Santa Fe here features stylized ‘Black Crow’ rosette inlay work, of Ebony and Purple Heart, while the 12th fret ‘Eagle’ and the dot marker inlays are Turquoise gemstone.

 

Effortless picking

Other top-line features include a one-piece mahogany neck, Indian Rosewood bridge, and a wider neck for blissful hours of effortless picking. (NOTE: Despite the wider neck and classical style tuners, this is NOT a classical guitar) A Rosewood headstock overlay; Piezo bridge pickup, with active onboard electronics, including parametric EQ; and gold tuners with classy amber buttons round out the incredible value-for-money package.

 

Condition

In Excellent+ condition, the guitar shows only light signs of playwear, the frets are perfect, (see pic # 6), the electronics are smooth and clean and the guitar comes with its original Takamine hard shell case – the deluxe, optional upgrade version, (pic # 8).
