Aesthetic brilliance

From the very first glance, the LTD2025 captivates with its striking Antique Evergreen gloss finish - a deep, rich shade reminiscent of aged forest hues, subtly shifting with the light to reveal intricate details in the wood grain beneath. This elegant colour, combined with the guitar’s carefully sculpted curves, gives the LTD2025 an air of timeless refinement. The solid Engelmann spruce top is encased by bold abalone purfling, shimmering with iridescent greens and blues. This exquisite detail is mirrored in the abalone rosette, framing the soundhole with luminous natural beauty. Complementing this luxurious aesthetic, the LTD2025’s solid Hawaiian koa back and sides brings golden-brown warmth to the instrument’s overall look. With natural figuring and deep, organic patterns, the koa wood enhances the LTD2025’s visual appeal while enriching its sonic character with resonant mids and powerful lows. Tying the design together, tortoiseshell-coloured binding gracefully outlines the body, adding vintage charm and highlighting the guitar’s sophisticated silhouette.

Exquisite playability

The LTD2025 is as much about feel as it is about appearance. The mahogany neck is shaped for effortless playability, while the ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, refined touch under the fingers. Delicate brass circle inlays mark the fretboard—an elegant and distinctive feature that will naturally develop a patina over time, telling the story of every note played.

Sonically exceptional

The LTD2025’s solid Engelmann spruce top delivers a wide dynamic range, sparkling highs, and lush overtones, while the solid Hawaiian koa back and sides add a deep, rich warmth, balancing clarity with resonance. The result is an instrument that sings with a vibrant, open voice, making it perfect for both fingerstyle precision and powerful strumming.

Stage-ready performance

Equipped with Takamine’s renowned Palathetic pickup and CTF-2N FET preamp, the LTD2025 offers natural, organic amplified tone with a retro-inspired control layout. Whether played acoustically or plugged in, this guitar ensures a dynamic and expressive performance in any setting.

A true collector’s piece

With only 300 guitars produced worldwide, the LTD2025 is as exclusive as it is exquisite. Each guitar includes a premium SH700A hybrid semi-hard case, providing protection while maintaining lightweight portability.
