popularity. As their company grew larger they realized that they would have to
improve upon their skills and hire a more talented design and manufacturing
teem.
The first and one of the most significant additions to the company was
when they hired Mr. Mass Hirade. Mr. Mass Hirade began working at Takamine in
1968. He made a lot design improvements and began producing better quality
acoustic guitars. Takamine started to manufacture first class "Classical Guitars" that still bare his name.
In 1975 Takamine began trading overseas.

players around the world.
 In
the 1920's the dreadnought body was designed and created, because musicians
wanted a louder more powerful sound. Ever since then the dreadnought has become
one of the most popular shape for an acoustic guitar. The dreadnought's design
with its larger resonant chamber emphasizes the bass response and has a lot more
volume and power. The dreadnought's design is great for ensemble playing and is
the favorite of flat pick guitar players.
