This is a mint condition all complete Takamine LTD2023. The 2023 Takamine Limited model is all about the famous Takamine Santa Fe acoustic guitar. For the 30th anniversary of the Takamine Santa Fe, Takamine Japan enriches us with a Limited Edition of the classic. The Takamine LTD2023 Santa Fe was limited to 300 instruments worldwide.

This exclusive NEX-sized cutaway showcases a solid cedar top and striking silky oak back and sides. The ebony fingerboard, with a turquoise inlaid Santa Fe motif, and intricate southwestern style turquoise rosette, are eye-catching.

Turquoise purfling and logo on the headstock complete the unique features. Honouring original models, it sports a pinless split-saddle bridge. It’s beautifully amplified via Takamine's Palathetic pickup and CTF-2N preamp. It includes a themed strap and semi-hard case.

Back in 1993, we released a very special new model – the limited edition ESF-93. Honouring the vibrant art and culture of the American Southwest, it helped launch one of our most beloved series of all time, the Santa Fe Series. Our LTD2023 celebrates the Santa Fe Series, 30 years after its introduction. Like the original model, the LTD2023 features an NEX-sized body, a more compact and comfortable version of the classic jumbo guitar body. 

Dazzling turquoise fingerboard inlays adorn the ebony fingerboard and turquoise visuals can also be found on the rosette and purfling, with a blue-tinted headstock logo continuing the aesthetic theme.

A natural gloss finish helps to highlight the intricacies of the rosette, which specifically pays tribute to the flagship ESF-93 – a model that featured a similarly styled, ahead-of-its-time soundhole design. Elsewhere, the guitar comes equipped with a mahogany neck, an ebony fingerboard, gold tuners with amber buttons

The LTD2023 features an exquisite, smooth ebony fingerboard with spectacular turquoise inlays.These motifs pay homage to the original ESF-93 and feature ‘Cross Arrows’ and ‘Broken Arrows’ designs, conveying friendship and peace.

For the LTD2023’s electronics, we return to our early roots with the new CTF-2N preamplifier which revives the sound of our early FET preamp model, affectionately known as the “Brownie”. The CTF-2N has that legendary sound, while adding the more modern functions of easy battery access, a chromatic tuner, and a notch filter.
