The Takamine GLD12E NS Acoustic Electric Guitar in Natural Satin is designed for guitarists who appreciate the robust sound of a dreadnought but prefer a more manageable playability due to a shorter scale length. This guitar blends traditional design with modern features, making it suitable for a wide range of styles and players.

Design and Craftsmanship: The GLD12E NS features a dreadnought body shape, renowned for its powerful and bold sound projection, making it ideal for vocal accompaniment as well as solo performance. The top is crafted from spruce, which provides clarity and articulation to the guitar's tone. This is complemented by okoume used for the back and sides, adding a percussive richness that enhances the overall warmth of the sound. The natural satin finish not only gives the guitar a sleek look but also contributes to its sound quality by allowing the wood to resonate more freely.

Playability: The guitar boasts a mahogany neck and a jatoba fingerboard, offering a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The shorter 630mm scale length reduces string tension, which not only makes the guitar easier to play, especially for those with smaller hands or less grip strength, but also adds to the warmth of the tone, making it excellent for both strumming and fingerpicking techniques.

Electronics: Equipped with Takamine's TP-3G electronics, this guitar is stage-ready, offering excellent amplification features. The preamp includes a 3-band EQ for tonal shaping, a gain control for adjusting the output, and a built-in chromatic tuner, ensuring you can easily and quickly tune your guitar whether during practice or in the middle of a performance.

Additional Features:

  • Nut Width: 42.8mm, providing ample space for comfortable fretting without feeling cramped.
  • Scale Length: 630mm, contributing to the softer, warmer sound of the guitar.
  • Case: While the guitar does not come with a case, it is compatible with the GC-WN case, recommended for protecting the instrument during storage and transport.

Overall: The Takamine GLD12E NS is an excellent option for players looking for an acoustic-electric guitar that offers a big sound with easier playability. It is well-suited for both beginners and experienced players, offering quality and features that exceed expectations for its price range. Whether you're performing on stage, recording in a studio, or practicing at home, this guitar provides a versatile and enjoyable playing experience.
