Too few people know that since 1992, Japanese manufacturer Takamine has standardized the shape and size of preamps installed on its Made in Japan instruments, allowing musicians to replace the installed electronics with models with different sound and functional characteristics, or simply ones that are more recently manufactured. No prior knowledge of guitar making, special equipment, or manual skills are required: if you own a Takamine produced from 1992 onward, simply follow a few simple steps to refresh its voice and make it sound like you’ve never heard it before, with a CLICK.
Takamine calls this unique feature “Retrofit,” but we like to call it CLICK’N PLAY: immediate, simple, and satisfying. A workshop dedicated to revealing the immediacy of Takamine’s Click’n Play, along with a series of tricks and practical tips that only a nerd like Alessandro Formenti can properly describe!
