1978 Takamine F349 (Mahogany Martin dreadnaught copy)
I've gigged more with this guitar than with any other, mainly with my friend Megan Sullivan.
Purchased at a pawn shop in Brockton, MA for $200. Installed a Fishman undersaddle pickup, with preamp and volume and tone thumbwheels, inside the soundhole. Changed tuners to Grover Sta-Tites.
Frets are pretty beat so I will need to refret soon. Great action, nice tone, stays in tune.
"Born-on" date of December 7th (Pearl Harbor Day) 1978.
