Takamine C-136S 1978 Acoustic Classical Guitar - Natural

Description

This 1978 Takamine C-136S is a well-preserved example from the period that established Takamine’s reputation for producing high-quality Japanese-built classical guitars. Built during the late 1970s, these instruments reflected the company’s move toward more refined construction and traditional styling, with the C-136S occupying a higher position within the classical range of the era.

The guitar features a traditional classical construction with a solid cedar top paired with rosewood back and sides, producing the warm, rounded response associated with well-made nylon-string instruments from this period. The body is lightweight and resonant, with a balanced tonal character that suits both fingerstyle playing and more formal classical repertoire. The neck has a comfortable traditional profile, paired with a rosewood fingerboard.

As with many better Japanese-built classical guitars of the late 1970s, the C-136S reflects a strong attention to detail in its construction and finish work. These models have become increasingly appreciated for the quality they offered relative to their original price point, particularly as interest in vintage Japanese acoustics has continued to grow.

Condition is consistent with a well-kept vintage instrument, showing a few signs of age but in overall fantastic condition. The guitar has the mature, open response expected from a well-played classical guitar approaching fifty years old.

It is supplied with its original hard case and also has its original purchase receipt, adding an extra layer of provenance and completeness that is increasingly uncommon for instruments of this age.

A strong example of a late-1970s Takamine classical, this C-136S combines traditional construction, mature nylon-string tone, and well-documented history in a package that reflects the growing reputation of vintage Japanese acoustics.
