What's the best acoustic guitar for worship? This question could cause a rumble. For us, we feel that the higher end Takamines are ideal for worship. Their electronics are fantastic when plugged in. It's no wonder so many bands use them in live situations. From the NEX to the Dreadnaughts, you can't go wrong when plugging in.

Our feature Takamine is the ESF48C:
Features include:
NEX Cutaway
Rosette: Laser-cut Wood and Steel
Top: Solid Spruce
Inlays: Laser-cut American Eagles
Back: Solid Rosewood
Sides: Rosewood
Fingerboard: Ebony
Electronics: CT-4B
Tuners: Gold & Amber Pearl
Features: Black crow rosette & eagle fingerboard inlays

Try one today at your local dealer. You won't be disappointed in these remarkable sounding guitars for onstage use.
