1993 Takamine TD23BR

The Takamine TD-23BR is a Japan-made dreadnought built in the spirit of Takamine’s classic lawsuit-era tradition — a period celebrated for producing well-built acoustics inspired by traditional Martin-style designs. These MIJ Takamine dreadnoughts are known for their solid craftsmanship, stable necks, and balanced, musical tone, offering excellent value for players seeking a reliable vintage Japanese instrument with classic looks and feel.

This 1993 Takamine TD-23BR features a natural spruce top paired with beautifully grained back and sides, delivering a warm, open midrange with clear highs and a rounded vintage low end. After decades of natural ageing, the guitar has opened up nicely with a mature resonance and woody character that newer guitars often can’t replicate.

The guitar has been fully cleaned and polished, professionally set up, and plays comfortably with action measuring approximately 2.0mm (low E) and 1.5mm (high E) at the 12th fret, making it very easy and comfortable to play across the entire fingerboard.

Condition is excellent for its age, showing only light cosmetic signs of careful ownership. There are no cracks, no repairs, and no structural issues noted. The neck is straight, the truss rod works correctly, frets are clean, and the guitar plays smoothly with that seasoned Takamine tone.
