Takamine's Pro and P series: Japanese-built acoustic-electrics with the CTP-2 CoolTube preamp system.
Watch
Why it matters
Takamine's Pro series is the line that carries the company's own preamp systems, which is why the guitars are bought as stage instruments rather than for unplugged playing. Models differ in body size and wood specification, and the price band is wide for a single series. Players who want a consistent plugged-in sound usually compare these against the Japanese-built alternatives rather than budget acoustics.
Note
Flagship line with the CTP-2 "CoolTube" preamp.

Before you buy
- The preamp system varies between models: check which one is fitted
- Body sizes differ across the series
- The plugged-in sound is the point: test through an amp or PA, not just acoustically
