Takamine F-345

by Rose Mamaghani
(San Diego)

My son just inherited a Takamine F-345 from his uncle, who purchased it in 1977. It just arrived today and is in pristine condition and the pegboard has gorgeous mother-of-pearl inlay.

I haven't been able to find a photo or information on an F-345 with the mother-of-pearl inlay. Can anyone provide any further information on this model and its potential value?

As far as performance -- we're getting it restrung tomorrow, but we're hopeful!

Further research shows that this may be a 1976 Takamine F345 jumbo Guild Lawsuit copy MIJ (http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1976-takamine-f345-jumbo-guild-134219169). The inlay on the guitar in the weblink is the same as that on my son's guitar.
Further specs on this guitar, where it was likely made, and its current market value would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your question - but I too am coming-up empty-handed. Takamine indicates that this guitar is indeed discontinued, but the stock F-345 did not have mother-of-pearl inlay. Perhaps this was a custom-run by Takamine.

If you are looking to estimate its value, I would take it to a resale guitar shops and ask their opinion. Good luck!
