The EF381DX starts with arguably one of the most popular 12-string guitars ever made, the EF381SC, and adds beautiful "Deluxe" appointments such as strikingly colorful abalone purfling, abalone rosette, Gotoh tuners with pearloid buttons, and delicate Takamine diamond inlays. The stage presence of the solid spruce top and maple back and sides are faithfully articulated through the legendary CT4BII electronics, making sure that this great looking guitar is matched by powerful and reliable Takamine stage sound.
