Takamine set the industry standard for acoustic-electric guitars with its innovative Palathetic pickup. Though numerous acoustic guitar manufacturers offer acoustic/electric models, none have accomplished the sophistication and performance set by Takamine. Unlike most other factory systems, the Palathetic pickup is not retrofitted, but integrated into the guitar’s design. Six individual piezo transducers are strategically placed in the bridge plate, so they can sense both string and soundboard vibrations.
