MODIFIED:

 Make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance, or character. In our case, the top of a guitar is modified by carefully and manually removing the original paint and sealer coats, replacing them by employing only OEM factory-grade urethane undercoats and mid coats of the highest quality that are never a barrier to playability or tone, and applying them via a four-step labor-intensive artisan process that takes place in our technology-infused workshop. An original uninstalled Takamine pick-guard will be shipped with all modified items, allowing users the option of placing it or not, according to their tastes and preferences.

Unfortunately, and unless the guitar is born again at Takamine's factory in Japan, minute details regarding the new paint finish will be present around the edge of the bridge. Our decision not to uninstall the bridge during the transformation process lies in not altering the factory calibration of the core soul of an acoustic/electric guitar. Our goal is to constantly improve by diminishing such undesired detail. Regarding the binding and the soundhole area, we are proud to do an almost impeccable job. One that you will completely be satisfied with.

We appreciate your time in considering our work and the opportunity to provide bespoke and exclusive alternatives of enjoyment to the Takamine community.
