This is a factory certified 2nd.

The factory certified 2nd has an identifying "2" stamped on the back. These guitars were found to have minor cosmetic blemishes that kept them from being offered as first quality. Anything noteworthy will be pictured. They may have light scratches that don't show up in photos and are even hard to see without light reflection. Similar designations from other companies are B Stock or Scratch & Dent. The blemishes do not affect playability or structural integrity of the instrument. The guitars are set up and ready to play by ESP. They come with a 90 day warranty from ESP. These guitars have never been broken/repaired or have any playability issues or electronics issues if applicable.

Back of headstock, has a few small scratches. Back mid neck, also has a light scratch. Please see pictures for details.

This deep-bodied orchestra model is one of the superb new additions to the TT Series of "Thermal Top" guiitars from Takamine. By treating the spruce top with high heat in a controlled environment, the sugars and resins change, resulting in a great played-in sound, much like a vintage instrument. This guitar has a great throaty voice due to the solid sapele back and sides, and the 12-fret neck joint. The mahogany neck features a distinctive slot headstock that appeals to musicians wanting a traditionalist look. The ebony fingerboard and simple abalone dots add an understated elegance--as does the the abalone single ring rosette. The neck is a wide 47.5 mm low profile contour, making it great for acoustic blues and fingerstyle. Like the other guitars in the TT Series, it features the stealthy TLD-2 Line Driver preamp and Takamine's legendary Palathetic pickup system.
