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.

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 the new Preamps when they arrive from Takamine and then pass through a more thorough audio and electronics test before being packaged and shipped.

Non electronic parts like Tuners, Nuts, Saddles are careful inspected and tested; any part that requires assembly is assembled.

Many stores 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 is needed for work and making a livelihood so an extended downtime makes 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 because it is your reputation as well as mine is 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, William “Bill” Sutherland / AddictedToToneInc

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-E PreAmp will be sent very carefully and safely packaged.
