The fact that Takamine Guitars of all Japanese brands probably have the best reputation is not least due to international superstars such as Bruce Springsteen, the Eagles or Jon Bon Jovi, who have been playing these noble and roadworthy instruments on the stages of the world for many years. The name Takamine has now become an integral part of the ranks of top-class western guitars, but it all began in 1959 with a small guitar shop in the shadow of Mount Takamine in central Japan. The small family business started to build classical guitars and mandolins under its present name in 1962. The classical guitar maker Masse Hirade started to improve construction and production methods decisively when he joined the company in 1968. Within the next ten years he helped Takamine Guitars to gain the international reputation of a leading Far Eastern instrument manufacturer. Later, the Hirade Takamine Series was named after him. A series of high quality master class concert guitars.
