Masterfully handcrafted nylon-string guitar with dynamic acoustic tone and versatile preamp system.

The Takamine TH90 Hirade concert classic delivers a blend of tradition and innovation. Handcrafted in Takamine's pro series facility, this nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar provides the projection and balanced tone that classical guitarists demand. A solid spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides generates shimmering highs, powerful lows and resonant mids. The oval soundhole and ebony fingerboard further enhance the guitar's aesthetics and playability.

Traditional Materials and Construction

Like the classical guitars of old, the TH90 Hirade utilizes all-solid woods and traditional Spanish bracing. The solid spruce top is lightweight, responsive and projects well, while the rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth and sustain. A dovetail neck joint and rosewood bridge provide structural integrity and enhance tone. The guitar's natural gloss finish highlights the beautiful wood grain and protects the instrument for years of enjoyment.

Playability and Versatility

The TH90 Hirade's ebony fingerboard and rounded C neck profile make playing comfortable and fluid. The guitar's nylon strings have a warm, mellow tone suited for classical and flamenco styles. Its cutaway body provides easy access to higher frets, while the onboard preamp allows plugging in for live performance or recording. Visually stunning and tonally impressive, the Takamine TH90 Hirade is a guitar that serious musicians will appreciate.

Tube-Powered Electronics Shape Your Sound

The TH90 Hirade comes equipped with Takamine's Cool Tube preamp system, which gives you a range of tube-powered tones at your fingertips. The preamp's dual-channel design provides variable tones from bright and brilliant to thick and warm. A three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, volume control and chromatic tuner allow you to craft your desired sound. The preamp's low-voltage design imparts the coveted warmth of tube tone without sacrificing the guitar's natural acoustic resonance.
