Expertly crafted nylon-string acoustic-electric brings warmth and precision to the stage.

The Takamine TC132SC classical guitar provides serious nylon-string tone and playability. Handcrafted with premium tonewoods, it delivers a warm, balanced sound ideal for any style. The solid cedar top and rosewood back resonate fully, projecting your music with clarity and depth. When plugged in, the proprietary CTP-3 preamp lets you shape your tone with tube-like warmth or crisp brilliance. Designed for comfort, the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers. Visually stunning with its natural gloss finish and elegant rosette, the TC132SC is an inspiring instrument for practice, performance or composition.

Premium Tonewoods for Resonant Sound

As with the finest classical guitars, the TC132SC features solid cedar and rosewood. The cedar top vibrates freely, producing a warm, balanced tone with rich overtones. The rosewood back enhances projection and provides tonal depth. Together, these tonewoods generate the resonance and sustain serious classical guitarists demand. When playing, you'll appreciate their ability to convey nuance and dynamic expression.

Comfortable Neck for Fluid Playability

The TC132SC's mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel natural and balanced. Its oval profile and medium gauge make chord changes and arpeggios effortless. The fingerboard's smooth, dense rosewood aids note clarity and sustain. A dual-action truss rod built into the neck prevents warping, keeping your guitar playing and sounding its best in any environment. Overall, the neck design ensures comfort and playability during extended practice or performance.

CTP-3 Preamp for Versatile Tone Shaping

Takamine's CTP-3 preamp gives you control over your amplified tone. Its tube-emulating circuitry recreates the warmth and dimension of a tube amplifier. The dual-channel design offers both bright and warm settings so you can match the preamp to your guitar and playing style. Three-band EQ, including a semi-parametric midrange, provides additional tonal shaping. An onboard tuner keeps you in tune, even on stage. With the CTP-3's tonal versatility, the TC132SC suits any musical genre.

Timeless Styling and Craftsmanship

From its elegant marquetry rosette to the glossy natural finish, the TC132SC embodies classical guitar tradition. Meticulously crafted for tone and beauty, it's an instrument you'll cherish for years. The cutaway body provides full access to the higher frets. Gold classical tuners match the understated yet refined aesthetic. With its blend of premium components and time-honored design, the Takamine TC132SC brings nylon-string heritage to today's guitarist.
