Each year beginning with their 25th Anniversary in 1987, Takamine has produced an annual Limited Edition guitar called the LTD.   Each model exhibits the cutting edge of artistic expression, expert craftsmanship and sonic excellence.   Produced in very limited quantities, the LTD guitars are highly sought after by players and collectors alike.  

Shown below is the LTD 1996, an NEX sized guitar finished in gloss black.  The top is solid Spruce and the sides/back are made from Campnosperma wood.  The rosette and fretboard feature inlaid woods.
