As a 21-year music veteran,
Brad Davis admits to having
tried hundreds of different
guitars in his search for
The Grail. His search is over –
the two main guitars he plays
for recording and touring are
both Takamine Flatpickers.
When Brad came to Takamine,
he was brimming with ideas about
how to make a better modern
dreadnought for flatpicking.
He talked and we listened. As we
put Brad’s ideas into prototypes,
it became clear that he was on to
something. If you’re a flatpicker,
you’ve got to try one of these.

FLATpICkER
We have a friend
who melts down
flat picks at the rate
of one-per-solo.
He llllllooovvvvves
this guitar. We can’t print
the non-technical term
he uses to describe
the extraordinary
presence and clarity
of this powerful
dreadnought.
