Takamine JP5DC Pro Series Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Takamine Pro Series JP5DC dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar delivers exceptional tonal richness and professional performance capabilities in a stunning natural finish. This premium cutaway dreadnought features all-solid construction with a spruce top and rosewood back, paired with Takamine's renowned CT4-DX preamp system for studio-quality amplified tone. Ideal for intermediate to professional players who demand superior acoustic resonance and versatile stage-ready electronics.
Product Overview
The JP5DC showcases premium all-solid construction with a scalloped X-braced solid spruce top and solid rosewood back, complemented by rosewood laminate sides. This carefully selected tonewood combination produces the warm, complex midrange and sparkling treble response that rosewood dreadnoughts are celebrated for. The natural gloss finish enhances the wood's beauty while the ivory binding and concentric ring rosette with wood marquetry add elegant visual detail to this professional-grade instrument.
The African mahogany neck features an asymmetrical profile that provides comfortable playability for both rhythm and lead work, paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard featuring 20 nickel-silver frets and distinctive wood dot-in-dot inlays. The 25.354" scale length and 1.678" nut width offer familiar dreadnought feel, while the Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to upper frets for expressive soloing. Gold tuning machines ensure reliable tuning stability, and the rosewood pinless bridge with split bone saddle facilitates quick string changes while optimizing sustain and tone transfer.
Takamine's CT4-DX dual-control preamp system features a Palathetic under-saddle pickup that captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with remarkable accuracy. The intuitive controls include a 4-band EQ for precise tonal shaping, built-in notch filter to eliminate feedback on stage, and an integrated chromatic tuner for quick adjustments between songs. This comprehensive electronics package makes the JP5DC equally at home in studio recording sessions, intimate acoustic performances, or full-band concert settings.

Key Features
All-Solid Tonewood Construction
The combination of solid spruce top with solid rosewood back produces exceptional harmonic complexity and projection. Scalloped X-bracing enhances the top's responsiveness, allowing it to vibrate more freely for improved volume and sustain while maintaining structural integrity.
CT4-DX Preamp System
Takamine's professional dual-control preamp delivers transparent amplified tone through the Palathetic under-saddle pickup. The 4-band EQ provides bass, low-mid, high-mid, and treble control, while the notch filter effectively eliminates problematic feedback frequencies during live performance.
Venetian Cutaway Design
The smooth cutaway profile grants comfortable access to the upper register, enabling expressive lead playing and extended chord voicings. This design maintains the dreadnought's powerful low-end response while adding modern playability for contemporary playing styles.
Premium Appointments
Bone nut and split bone saddle ensure optimal string vibration transfer and sustain. The rosewood pinless bridge system simplifies string changes, while gold tuning machines and ivory binding throughout add refined aesthetic touches that reflect the instrument's professional quality.
Asymmetrical Neck Profile
The shaped mahogany neck provides ergonomic comfort for extended playing sessions, with a profile that supports both aggressive strumming and delicate fingerstyle techniques. The bound rosewood fingerboard with wood dot-in-dot inlays combines traditional aesthetics with smooth, fast playability.
