Takamine EF341SC Dreadnought Black
The Iconic Black Takamine.
Few acoustic-electric guitars have earned a reputation quite like the Takamine EF341SC.
Recognisable from stages around the world, the EF341SC has become one of Takamine's most iconic models, trusted by professional musicians for its powerful tone, dependable electronics and unmistakable gloss black finish.
For decades, artists including Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen have relied on Takamine acoustic guitars on some of the world's biggest stages. The EF341SC continues that tradition, delivering the performance, reliability and stage presence that have made Takamine a favourite among working musicians for generations.
Handcrafted in Japan as part of Takamine's renowned Pro Series, this is a guitar built to perform.
A Stage Favourite For Good Reason
The EF341SC combines a solid cedar top with maple back and sides, creating a voice that is both warm and articulate.
The cedar top responds quickly to the player's touch, producing a rich and mature tone with excellent sensitivity and dynamic response. Whether you're accompanying vocals, playing fingerstyle passages or driving a song with powerful strumming, the EF341SC remains balanced and expressive.
Maple back and sides add clarity, focus and projection, helping notes remain defined even in busy live performance environments.
The result is a guitar that sits beautifully in a mix while retaining the warmth that players love from a cedar-top acoustic.
Built For The Stage
Takamine earned its reputation by building guitars that sound as good plugged in as they do acoustically.
The EF341SC features Takamine's acclaimed Palathetic pickup system paired with the CT4B II preamp, providing the reliable amplified performance that has become a hallmark of the brand.
Features include:
- Three-band EQ
- Volume control
- Built-in tuner
- Takamine Palathetic pickup system
Whether you're plugging into a PA system, acoustic amplifier or recording setup, the EF341SC delivers a natural, controlled and dependable amplified sound.
It's one of the reasons Takamine remains a first choice for countless professional performers.
Classic Takamine Style
The gloss black finish gives the EF341SC a distinctive look that has become synonymous with Takamine's stage heritage.
Combined with its dreadnought body shape and Venetian cutaway, it offers both visual impact and practical performance.
The comfortable mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard make long playing sessions effortless, while the cutaway provides easy access to higher frets when required.
Why We Love It
The EF341SC isn't popular because it's flashy.

For decades, this model and its close relatives have been chosen by touring musicians who need a guitar they can trust night after night. It delivers warm acoustic tone, excellent projection, dependable electronics and a timeless stage-ready appearance.
If you're looking for a professional acoustic-electric with genuine musical heritage and proven real-world performance, the Takamine EF341SC remains one of the most respected stage guitars available.
