Glenn Frey

A proud Takamine artist since 1980, Glen Frey was one of the founding members of The Eagles one of the most popular american bands of all time. He�d been turned-on to Takamine around 1980 by Fred Walicky of Westwood Music in LA and how prior to that, playing acoustic live meant wrestling with mic feedback or tolerating crappy sounding sound-hole pickups. Takamine had just come out with its revolutionary Palathetic pickup and Fred suspected it might be the solution to Glenn�s dilemma. Fred was right and Glenn became one of the first major artists ever to perform with the new acoustic-electric Takamine. By 1982 artists like David Lindley, Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder, Sreve Lukather and Nancy Wilson were appearing along with Glenn in Takamine�s domestic catalog. A rare circa 1982 photograph shows Glenn being presented an early Palathetic pickup model PT-015-ST by Takamine�s now legendary leader and master luthier, Mass Hirade.

Construction

Based on Glenn's original EF360S from 1991 the EF360GF is a stunning guitar consisting of a solid Spruce top and solid Rosewood back. This combined with the ever popular dreadnought body shape gives you a huge sound with fantastic clarity and bass response. joined to the body is a mahogany neck which is chunky yet comfortable to play, a top of the neck is a Rosewood fingerboard and traditional Takamine style pointy headstock.

Electronics + CTB4 II

This tried and tested combination from Takamine gives you a warm and professional sound on stage. With full control over the 3-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble), master volume control and a built-in tuner for easy tuning on stage or on the go.
