The
Takamine TP-4T preamp is designed
for
use with Takamine “G” Series Model guitars that
feature
a “STRAIGHT
“
Saddle.
The
difference between the TP-4T and TP-4TD PreAmps is the “D”
–
It stands for “DUAL” not
“digital”
which
so many people seem to think…
TP-4T
has ONE (1) INPUT for use with a “STRAIGHT SADDLE” system.
TP-4TD
has TWO (2) INPUTS for a “SPLIT SADDLE” system,

Older
Takamine preamps TV3N, TK4NT, TS-1, TS-2, PT007S, etc. are a
different size and shape than the TP-4T and are
located in a different
location on the guitars side; the mounting chassis of these preamps
WILL
NOT
accommodate the TP-4T preamp.
~
The
TP-4T preamp is designed for use in “G” Series model guitars
and
are not compatible* with Pro Series Takamine guitars made in Japan.
*
Pro
Series Takamine guitars feature the palathetic pickup which plugs in
via a Male RCA plug,
“
G”
series Takamine guitars have a pickup which plugs in via a 2.5mm
(close to 3/32) Mono Male plug.
If your guitar has an RCA jack
it means the guitar is a PRO-Model Takamine Instrument
with a true “PALATHETIC” pickup – I would encourage you to replace your preamp with a PRO-Series Preamp
like the CTP-2, CTP-3, CT4-DX or CT4B-II to realize your guitars true sonic potential!
This preamp is designed for use in Takamine brand guitars only!
The PreAmp DOES NOT come with a mounting chassis.
The PreAmp Mounting Chassis is installed at the Takamine factory during
the guitar manufacturing process; if your guitar does not currently have a Mounting Chassis
installed please
do not order this PreAmp as you will have no way to insert it into the guitar.

Sometimes
in this fast paced electronics driven world we lose touch with the
“humanity”
that
is represented by all of the internet listings, fax and e-mail
numbers.
I
am a real person; I am not just a number.
I
welcome your questions and speaking with you personally.
Tonefully – William “Bill” Sutherland /
AddictedToToneInc.

I
only use sturdy shipping boxes to prevent damage to the item you have
purchased.
As
a consumer I understand the desire to save a couple dollars whenever
possible,
please
understand that I have tried alternative “cheaper” shipping
methods
and
was not pleased with the result – to much damage!
I
do not make any “extra” money on shipping.
The
shipping price is calculated to include the carrier delivery fees
to
your specific location and fees imposed on the item by eBay and
PayPal.
I
package items VERY well and ship very promptly!

RETURNS
& SHIPPING
AddictedToToneInc
does not accept returns.
The
item listed in this ad is designed to improve the tone
of
your Takamine guitar or for replacing a defective component.
I can
help you diagnose the problem with your Takamine system.
Please
contact me before you order an item you do not actually need.
AddictedToToneInc
does not accept returns because of a third parties ineptitude,
specifically
“repair technicians” that do not know how to properly diagnose
possible
defects of the individual components used in the Takamine electronic
system.
AddictedToToneInc
checks each component for possible electronic defect
when
the new product is received from Takamine and
verifies
its working condition once again before it is shipped.
~
Tested
100%
The
item you are purchasing is inspected and tested before they are
shipped to make absolutely sure everything is working 100%
Time
is taken to check new product when it arrives from Takamine;
electronic components pass through another more thorough audio and
electronics test before being packaged and shipped.
The
vintage preamps and used components sold by AddictedToToneInc pass
through this same testing process.
Non
electronic parts like Tuners, Nuts, Saddles are carefully inspected
and tested; any part that requires assembly is assembled.
Many
sellers do not possess a working knowledge of the Takamine equipment
they are selling and simply send merchandise without examining the
item being sold.
As
a guitarist, artist and former touring musician I understand how
important this equipment is to the individual purchasing it;
most
of my customers are casual players but for some of my clients the
part being purchased is needed for work and making a livelihood
–
an extended downtime can make for some potentially hungry days!
My
endeavors are not approached as a mere “numbers game” or
how many boxes of product I can move, for me it is much more
personal,
most
of my clients work very hard for their money; I appreciate and
respect the fact they have chosen me to do business with.
Takamine
does a fabulous job with their electronics and there are very few
incidents of manufacturer defect; very, very few incidents but it
does happen.
It
is much easier for me to check the product for the customer before it
is sent rather than wasting time discovering a defective part after
it has shipped; this is how I have always operated; it takes more of
a commitment but my clients appreciate it – they know they can
trust me to do the job right!
The
testing process was originally started for the sake of my over-seas
patrons but I quickly realized the value of it for all my clients!
Maybe
I am just “old school” but this is the way I feel it should
be done.
I
have designed, created and employ special testing equipment for the
Takamine preamps and electronic components because it is your
reputation as well as mine at stake when you walk on stage!
AddictedToToneInc
hosts a special Facebook page that specializes in the science and use
of the Takamine technology exclusively for our Takamine clients.
Thank
you,

As
you may or may not know…
Since
the early 70’s KAMAN Music was the sole distributer of Takamine
guitars in the U.S.A.
Recently
ESP Guitars and Takamine Guitars announced a partnership in which
Takamine
instruments
will be distributed exclusively exclusively through ESP Guitars in
the U.S.A.
Because
of this new chapter in American Takamine history some printed
materials have yet to
be
revised for the new ESP distributorship. For this reason, this sale
is for preamp only,
it
does
not
come with glamour box. Your TP-4T PreAmp will be sent very carefully
and safely packaged.
