The Takamine Story
For more than half a century now, Takamine has proudly dedicated itself to the art of fine guitar craftsmanship.

With humble beginnings in 1959 as a small family-run guitar shop nestled at the foot of Mount Takamine in the central Japanese town of Sakashita, the fledgling company took the mountain’s name in 1962 and began in earnest the journey that led to the phenomenal success that is the modern Takamine company.
