Takamine Supernatural TDN65C FXC Nylon String Acoustic/Electric Guitar with Cutaway

Experience extraordinary stage and studio acoustic performance with a beautifully understated aesthetic. Handcrafted in Takamine’s world-renowned Pro Series facility in Japan, the Takamine Supernatural TDN65C FXC Nylon String Acoustic/Electric Guitar delivers precision quality built upon over five decades of master luthiery. Designed specifically with fingerstyle players in mind and voiced to respond flawlessly to altered tunings, this premium instrument combines an ultra-comfortable cutaway body with the warmth of nylon strings. The Supernatural series embodies elegance through simplicity, letting the hand-selected, premium-grade tonewoods and flawless satin finish take center stage.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: Cedar/Rosewood Matrix & Slotted Headstock Physics

The TDN65C generates its remarkable voice through a timeless tonewood pairing: a solid cedar top matched with a solid rosewood back. Cedar responds exceptionally well to the lighter physical touch of nylon strings, producing a warm, dark, and highly dynamic fundamental tone, while the solid rosewood back acts as a reflective acoustic mirror, pushing lush overtones and deep bass frequencies forward. To maximize this acoustic energy, the instrument features a traditional slotted headstock. This design significantly increases the downward break angle of the strings directly behind the synthetic bone nut. The steeper angle applies more physical pressure onto the nut slot, transferring maximum string vibration into the mahogany neck for superior sustain and volume. Furthermore, the innovative pinless rosewood bridge completely eliminates the hassle of traditional tie-block stringing, making nylon string changes incredibly fast and secure.

E-E-A-T Performance Standards: The CT4-DX Preamp & Palathetic System Integration

At Angkor Music, we rigorously test the electronics on all our Japanese-made Takamine models to ensure they meet the demands of touring professionals. Palathetic Pickup: This guitar utilizes Takamine's legendary under-saddle Palathetic pickup, which employs six individually shielded piezo elements to capture both string and soundboard vibrations, resulting in massive headroom and high feedback rejection. CT4-DX Dual-Channel Mastery: The onboard CT4-DX is the ultimate in preamp flexibility. It provides a highly surgical 4-band EQ and two notch filters for feedback control. Crucially, it features dual-channel capability—allowing you to easily add a secondary pickup (such as a magnetic soundhole pickup or internal mic) and mix the two signals independently right from the guitar’s control panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Takamine FXC body shape?
The FXC is Takamine’s proprietary body silhouette that closely mimics a traditional Grand Concert size. It features a noticeably smaller profile and shallower depth compared to a Dreadnought or Jumbo. This compact design results in a highly articulate, balanced tone that sits perfectly in a studio mix. For live performance, the smaller air cavity naturally resists howling feedback at high stage volumes.

Can I really add a second pickup to this guitar without modifying the preamp?
Yes, the CT4-DX preamp system is specifically engineered for modular expansion. It includes a dedicated auxiliary input on the preamp chassis. If you choose to install a secondary pickup (such as the Takamine Tri-Ax magnetic soundhole pickup or an internal transducer), you simply plug it into the CT4-DX. The preamp will automatically split the controls, giving you independent EQ, notch filtering, and volume mixing for both pickups simultaneously.

Is the 1-7/8" nut width standard for classical guitars?
No, a traditional Spanish classical guitar typically features a very wide 2" (52mm) nut width. The 1-7/8" (47.6mm) nut on the TDN65C is considered a "crossover" width. It provides enough room to cleanly execute complex fingerstyle arrangements without unintentionally muting adjacent strings, while remaining narrow enough that steel-string or electric guitar players will find it incredibly comfortable and familiar to fret.
