Todd's Takamine Santa Fe 1993
 
I purchased this guitar new in 1993.  I just fell in love with the look of it.  Fortunately for me it also sounds good.

Many of my songs start out on this guitar.  I love being able to take it anywhere and play.  It can be liberating to play without amps or effects, there is no energy spent thinking about that.  With an acoustic guitar a player's touch and tone are much more transparent.


 

Check out the inlays.
