Ivan May Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I wish I knew more on what the OR stood for..I sadly don't know a lot about Takamines! Nancy Wilson plays a lot of Takamine guitars, I think she has since the early Nineties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very likely it has something to do with the color, or stain. There's a demo video of a black model, which the video calls an EF261S-BL. That's one of the mid-sized bodies, in what they called the Santa Fe series, back when I was selling Takamine Guitars. Very nice model. 2 Quote "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too.

Can you give us a photo of the EF261S-OR guitar in question? The suffix is almost certainly referring to finish and color options, as Brother Winston mentioned above. Doing searches, it seems to be a designation or finish that Takamine doesn't currently use or have... ? (By the way, a cedar top on a mahogany back and sides is far and away my very favorite wood combination for a flat-top acoustic guitar! 💖✨) 3 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfergirl Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I think that @Winston Psmithand @Caevan O’Shiteare right about the color. I couldn't find an OR, i did find an AN which is antique. Maybe the OR is orange, just a guess. 2 Quote Jennifer S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 @Afatnuglybloke There is an "(OR)" for sale on Ebay but it didn't define what the OR stood for. I looked on the Takamine site and they didn't recognize my search with the OR. They did show the EF261S-AN which is very close to the one for sale on EBay (a cutaway acoustic model). 😎 3 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyalcatraz Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Count me as another thinking it’s a color code. The EF261S AN has an “antique” finish, and the EF261S BK is black. 4 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Afatnuglybloke Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Thanks heaps all....I think I will go with ORANGE...Though it is curious as to why the letters (OR) are in brackets on the label inside the sound hole. Yet the letters BK on the black Tak have no brackets....Grrrrr...I need to know! I want to know! I must know! You guys are great...

The only thing I could find on the Takamine site in the "FXC body" which was in the info, is a "WR" model which stands for Wine Red. So I'll guess "OR" stands for Orange Red...?? 😎 2 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
