An Inspiring Acoustic-electric Experience

The Takamine Pro series JP5DC dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar rewards you with its mellifluous sonority, understated good looks, and buttery playability. Pick it up, take the fast mahogany neck in your hand, strum a few chords, and revel in the harmonic richness resonating from the solid spruce top. Execute a single-note run and let your fingers fly all the way up the bound rosewood fingerboard, courtesy of the JP5DC's comfortable cutaway. Takamine's CTP-3 Cooltube preamp system uses a 12AU7 tube at low voltage, you get warm, rich tones with the extra power of a parametric EQ. The Takamine Pro series JP5DC — to play it is to love it.

Great sound is in the details

The Takamine Pro series JP5DC acoustic-electric guitar benefits from quality tonewoods and Takamine's painstaking attention to detail. With its scalloped X-braced solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides, the JP5DC looks great and is tonally versatile enough to handle whatever playing style your musical mood dictates. Take it from the Sweetwater crew — if you're playing out, the JP5DC's beautiful and stage-friendly natural grain will certainly command your audience's attention.

Takamine: decades of quality, great sound, and playability

The Takamine Pro series JP5DC acoustic-electric guitar is the result of over a half-century of Takamine guitar-crafting know-how. Launched in 1962 at the foot of Japan's Takamine mountains, Takamine has been designing and building acoustic guitars that are seen in the hands of some of music's biggest stars. With quality and value as guiding principles, Takamine's instruments employ the finest tonewoods, construction techniques, and technical innovations, such as the proprietary CT4B preamp system found in this guitar.

Takamine's CTP-3 Cooltube preamp system

The JP5DC boasts Takamine's CTP-3 Cooltube preamp system, which runs a 12AU7 tube at low voltage to prevent it from heating up and affecting your guitar. The sound is natural and rich, with exceptional dynamics. It also houses a built-in chromatic tuner, a Notch control, and a sweepable Mid Frequency control to really dial in your perfect tone. And an Aux jack allows you to install an additional pickup source to be blended with Takemine's under-saddle pickup for adding even more detail and warmth to you live acoustic sound.
