Three years later, the company would be renamed Takamine Gakki Ltd, after the mountain on whose foothills it was built. Humble Beginningsįounded in 1959, Takamine began as a modest, family run instrument workshop nestled in the foothills of Mount Takamine in central Japan.
From humble beginnings to the world stage, Takamine has earned its reputation as one of the finest and most respected acoustic guitar makers on the planet. Skilled artisans and hand-made craftsmanship have been staples of Japanese culture for centuries and they remain firmly rooted in Takamine’s DNA to this day. Whilst this may indeed be the case for some Japanese companies, it couldn’t be further from the truth for Takamine. When you think of Japanese manufacturing, images of ultra high-tech production lines and autonomous robots working in perfect harmony immediately spring to mind.
