Takamine Japan TN18C Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Guitar Natural with hardcase

The Takamine TN18C is a high‑end, all‑solid dreadnought electro‑acoustic guitar from Takamine’s Natural Series, known for its premium tonewoods and tube‑driven CTP‑3 CoolTube preamp.
Core Identity and Build
The TN18C is consistently described as one of Takamine’s top Natural Series models
Its construction emphasizes traditional Japanese luthiery with premium materials:
Top: Solid spruce
Back & sides: Solid rosewood
Neck: One‑piece mahogany, C‑shape
Fingerboard: Ebony
Bridge: Natural bone, two‑part saddle
Body style: Dreadnought with cutaway
Made in Japan
These tonewoods give the TN18C a powerful low end, clear mids, and articulate highs, typical of solid spruce/rosewood dreadnoughts.

This is Takamine’s signature high‑end preamp and a major selling point.
