1991 Takamine pt-408

The Takamine PT-408 is a respected Made in Japan acoustic-electric from the early 1990s, built during a period when Takamine was producing reliable, great-sounding instruments with strong craftsmanship and practical stage-ready features. With its compact body, solid top construction, and classic Japanese build quality, the PT-408 is a lovely vintage piece that offers both comfort and musical versatility.

This model is also appealing for players who enjoy the old-school Lawsuit Martin Style approach often seen in vintage Japanese acoustics — understated, functional, and inspired by classic traditional steel-string design.

This guitar features a solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, giving it a warm, mature voice with clear projection and a balanced response. It has a good sound that works well for both fingerpicking and strumming.

One particularly desirable feature for a vintage Takamine like this is its low action setup — measuring 2.5mm on the Low E and 2mm on the High E at the 12th fret — making it exceptionally comfortable and easy to play.

Classic features include the original Takamine onboard EQ / preamp system, simple elegant styling, and the vintage MIJ character that makes these early Japanese electro-acoustics increasingly desirable.

Includes hard case.
