The combination of premium woods, ornate detailing and the \u003cstrong\u003eCTP-3 CoolTube\u003c\/strong\u003e system makes this a guitar aimed squarely at professional live and studio use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid Bearclaw Engelmann Spruce Top\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid Engelmann spruce top gives the CP5M-SE a responsive, dynamic feel with strong clarity and a slightly softer attack than many Sitka-topped acoustics.

The striped ebony back and sides immediately set it apart visually, and the CTP-3 CoolTube system makes it every bit as serious on stage as it is acoustically. For someone chasing a rarer Japanese Takamine rather than a current production model, this is a very cool piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable from \u003cstrong\u003eColemans Music South Melbourne\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eFast Shipping Aus Wide\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAKAMINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67720535408692,"sku":"210000078763","price":4199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5386\/3220\/files\/PRELOVED-TAKAMINE-CP5M-SE-1.jpg?v=1792094142","url":"https:\/\/www.colemansmusic.com.au\/products\/preloved-takamine-cp5m-se","provider":"Colemans Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
