Takamine Guitars – The Art of Fine Acoustic Guitar Craftsmanship | Colemans Music Melbourne
The Takamine Story
For more than half a century, Takamine Guitars has been dedicated to the art of fine guitar craftsmanship. Known worldwide for their outstanding build quality, playability, and tonal richness, Takamine’s devotion to innovation and continual improvement has made them one of the world’s premier acoustic guitar makers. Their instruments have become the first choice for performing guitarists across genres — from singer-songwriters to touring rock legends.
The Takamine journey began humbly in 1959, as a small family-run guitar shop at the foot of Mount Takamine in the central Japanese town of Sakashita. In 1962, the company adopted the mountain’s name and began its mission to craft exceptional guitars. Over the decades, Takamine has grown from a modest workshop to a globally respected brand, known for precision craftsmanship, pioneering pickup technology, and elegant designs.
