My 2 1977 F-360 Lefty Taks
My acoustics are 2 1977 factory lefty Takamine F-360's (Martin Lawsuits), built 1 day apart. The first one I purchased (77102629) new on Long Island in '77 and is in excellent condition. In '95, a free lance guitar tech, in southern Delaware, known only to me as "Goat", installed a Fishman Matrix under saddle pick-up w/ pre amp and then lowered the nut and bridge for me. "Goat" turned the Tak into a real player - great action, great sound, easy fingering all over the fret board. The second one ( 77102716 ) I came across on eBay a couple of years back - amazingly built one day after mine and also a factory lefty - this one has rich mellow sound and I've done no mods on this one at all. While it doesn't have the action of my first one, it's still a great sounding guitar - both of these Taks just keep sounding better year after year - after all, they'll be celebrating their 30th birthdays next year. The 1st pic is of the eBay Tak - a little more "orange-ish" in color than my original in the 2nd pic.
