Gloss-finished NEX cutaway with warm cedar tone and iconic detailing
The Takamine FSF40C is a beautifully appointed NEX cutaway electro-acoustic guitar, combining a warm, natural voice with distinctive visual character and performance-ready electronics. Its solid cedar top is paired with solid sapele back and sapele sides, while the Gloss Natural finish showcases the character of the instrument's tonewoods. Takamine's NEX body shape offers a silky tonal balance that supports vocals beautifully.
The solid cedar top gives the FSF40C a warm, open character, complemented by the sapele back and sides. A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard complete the core construction, providing a comfortable foundation for performance. The NEX cutaway body also offers convenient access further up the fingerboard while retaining the balanced character of Takamine's original body design.
One of the FSF40C's most distinctive visual features is its turquoise eagle inlay at the 12th fret, paying homage to Takamine's heritage. Combined with its Gloss Natural finish, this eye-catching detail gives the guitar an instantly recognisable identity.
