Taking its name from Mount Takamine in central Japan, the company has been dedicated to expert guitar craft since 1962
The Takamine story really begins in 1959. Could you tell us a little about the origins of the company? “In 1959 as a small family-run guitar shop nestled at the foot of Mount Takamine in the central Japanese town of Sakashita, the fledgling company took the mountain’s name in 1962 and began in earnest the journey that led to the phenomenal success that is the modern Takamine company.”
