Pro Series Mastery: Takamine CP3DC-OV Dreadnought Cutaway
The Takamine CP3DC-OV represents the perfect balance of traditional aesthetics and modern performance engineering. Available at Gigstore, this Japanese-made Pro Series instrument utilizes a classic dreadnought body shape with a Venetian cutaway to provide a full-bodied acoustic voice with easy access to the upper frets. Whether you are performing a headline set in Dubai or recording in a studio in Abu Dhabi, the CP3DC-OV offers the tonal complexity and structural reliability required for world-class music production.
Constructed with a solid cedar top and solid ovangkol back, the CP3DC-OV produces a sweet, harmonic-rich sound that is highly responsive to a light touch. Ovangkol is a cousin of rosewood that provides a similar depth and warmth, but with a slightly fuller mid-range and bright trebles. The natural gloss finish ensures the unique grain of the ovangkol remains a visual centerpiece.
Legendary CT4B II Electronics and Precision Engineering
The CP3DC-OV is equipped with the world-renowned Takamine CT4B II preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup. This system is famous for its natural acoustic reproduction and features a three-band EQ, volume control, and a highly accurate built-in chromatic tuner. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a smooth feel, while the signature split-saddle bridge provides superior intonation across all six strings.
- Solid Cedar Top: Provides immediate warmth and a "played-in" character that responds beautifully to fingerstyle and vocal accompaniment.
- Solid Ovangkol Back: Offers a rich, versatile tonal profile with a balanced frequency response.
- CT4B II Preamp: A professional-grade electronics suite used by touring artists worldwide for its transparent tone and reliability.
- Asymmetrical Neck Profile: Slightly thinner on the treble side to fit the natural shape of your hand for improved playing comfort.
- Handcrafted in Japan: Built with precision by master luthiers in Takamine’s premier Pro Series facility.
