This new, updated Takamine Natural series guitar offers Solid Sapele back, Sapele sides and Solid Cedar top. The Orchestra Model body shape emphasizes the lower midrange and has versatile dynamics. The build quality on these guitars, considering their affordable mid-range price point, is astounding! The sound afforded by the use of premium solid woods is warm and full bodied, and by design, the Natural series offer no impedances to the wood’s natural vibrations. All the guitars in the ETN series come with a Takamine hard case.

Takamine guitars have always led the way with their on stage electro-acoustics Takamine create the technology which allows a plugged in acoustic guitar to sound like an unplugged acoustic guitar. The main step forward in achieving this was the introduction of the palathetic pickup – a unique device which allows optimal transference of the vibration from the guitar to the circuitry of the preamp. Takamine strive to remain at the very fore of preamp technology, which ensures that their guitars are the best sounding that money can buy.

The Takamine ETN 70C is fitted with a CT4B preamp and has been designed for ease of use and produces a pure tone. It offers 3 bands of graphic EQ with +/- 5dB of adjustment available and a volume control slider. The unit also includes a built-in chromatic tuner which is activated by pressing the ‘Tuner’ button and playing the string you want to tune. Red arrows indicate if the string is sharp or flat. The ‘tuner’ button also functions as a mute switch.

Here’s what Takamine say about the ETN70C

Acoustic sound set free. The Takamine Natural Series was conceived to give you the biggest and widest acoustic sound possible. Solid cedar tops, solid sapele backs, a thin satin finish and no pickguard or anything that could possibly impede the vibration of the soundboard was purposely left out.

The theory works. Naturals are so alive with sound that they nearly jump out of your hands. The clean and simple approach of the Naturals has been imitated by other makers, but nothing yet has compared to the purity of style and sound of the original.
