ESF-93 was a limited edition model which had been a pioneer of current Takamine’s Santa Fe series model that has designs featuring the Native American culture.
For pouring this image into the characteristic rosette inlays made by parts in a fan shape, the essential machine we had to try is a laser cutting technique.
At the same time, we had to introduce a CNC routing machine to create an unconventional ditch to fit the accurately laser crafted rosette parts into, unlike the old school circle cutting rosette hole which is grooved by a circle cutter.
Since 30 years ago, the daybreak to adopt the highly precise crafting machines in the world of acoustic guitar making, it was affected a big part in guitar designing later on. We would proudly ntroduce the latest guitar with these designings and technics as our brand new Santa Fe model LTD2023.
The general theme of “PEACE” is told by the symbols of “BROKEN ARROW” and “CROSS ARROW”, high-grade timbers to use for the body and decorations are the best design of this LTD2023 as refined Santa Fe.
