The Takamine GD20CE Electro Acoustic is a work of art. It's a diamond-quality producer of sublime, rich sound with the kind of sonic detail that is perfect for fingerstyle players. Exquisitely crafted into the renowned dreadnought shape, the cedar top and mahogany back and sides deliver a magical concoction of warmth, resonance, and wonderfully dark overtones, granting you beautiful sonic character with every note you play. And when you have Takamine's TP-4TD electronics on your side, you can count on sparkling, immaculately sculpted amplification.
Back to basics. The beauty of the acoustic needs no fancy embellishments, its understated excellence radiates from the natural finish, whilst sleek binding, an elegant rosette, and chrome hardware add those detailed touches that demonstrate Takamine's meticulous craftsmanship. And you'll have silky-smooth playability too, courtesy of a slim mahogany neck layered with a luscious ovangkol fretboard. Slide from fret to fret with ease and deliver a mesmerising performance.
Superior shape, excellent tone
The wonders of the dreadnought have captivated guitarists for decades. One of the original body shapes, it has a huge voice that delivers full, resonant lows, slightly scooped mids, and gorgeous, glistening trebles. You'll have magnificence across the whole frequency range, allowing for supreme versatility to suit a range of playing styles and abilities. Whether you're just starting out or you're already a seasoned musician looking for an affordable guitar, the GD20CE will serve you tonal greatness and smooth playability for years to come.
Quality in every detail
...even in the nuances of its sound. A solid cedar top emanates the kind of tonal beauty that fingerstyle players need, granting you a dark tone with exceptionally rich overtones. It oozes character and richness. What more could you want in an acoustic? Well, maybe you desire some extra resonance and warmth. That is exactly what the mahogany back and sides provide. Thanks to mahogany's beautiful tonal balance and emphasised midrange, you'll have excellence with everything you play. Versatility. Right at your fingertips. And even when you're plugged in and amped up with Takamine's TP-4TD preamp at your control, these tonewoods won't lose any of their clarity and acoustic goodness.
Other premium-quality details include the split-saddle design on the ovangkol bridge, allowing for pristine intonation that teams perfectly with the richness and character of cedar. A lusciously smooth ovangkol fingerboard then lends itself to seamless fretting, whilst pearloid dot inlays and chrome hardware provide dazzling finishing touches. It's all there. In one stunning instrument.
