The Takamine EC132S is a highly regarded, Japanese-made electro-acoustic classical guitar that is now discontinued by the manufacturer. Handcrafted in Takamine's pro-series facility, it pays homage to traditional classical instruments by following the historic construction drawings of Antonio Torres. It remains a top choice for performing classical, Latin, and jazz guitarists who need authentic nylon-string warmth at amplified stage volumes.
