Takamine Service & Repair Forum

I have a 2001 graph ex pre-amp and recently the volume pot has been giving me problems. I\'ve tried cleaning it but it is so sealed up that it is hard to get any spray in there. I even drilled a small hole in the plastic housing and got the same result. I think if I replace it, my problem will be solved. I hate to spend $200+ for an entire replacement, when I can just solder on a new knob. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks

I am not receiving low end power when plugged into my amp. I get plenty of highs and after talking to someone from Tak they suggested it being the preamp assembly. So, I am looking for a replacement pickup assembly for my Tak fp360sc. If you have these in stock could you please send me a price.

This preamp was missing a pickup that plugged in behind the preamp with a RCA jack. It did however contain with it a 1/8th inch male to 1/4 inch female pigtail for the guitars input. I was curious as to where I might be able to find a wiring diagram for this and another Takamine Pre-amp I am current...

I have a EG330C with what is, I believe, a bad preamp. It uses the N4B preamp with the RCA plug input and a 3.5MM output. There is no output from the unit. Have switched the 9v and the batt test light does come on. Is there a way to test this? Can it be repaired? I realize that it could be the picku...
