The Takamine GN51CE NEX Electro Acoustic is one striking instrument. Showcased with a sublime sunburst finish, the NEX body - a Takamine exclusive - lends itself to smooth, effortless playability whilst its bold, silky voice carries each chord with clarity. And when you have the luscious surface of a bound rosewood fretboard underneath your fingertips, you can be sure to slide across the frets in seamless fashion, delivering each note like sparks from the strings.
 
As well as its gorgeous NEX shape, the GN51CE has a beautiful tonewood construction that promises truly glorious tones. Rosewood back and sides are teamed with a solid spruce top, resulting in sparkling, rich sound with an even response across the whole frequency range, giving you even more musical freedom. And to ensure its aesthetic reflects such a heavenly sound, this acoustic is adorned with elegant finishing touches such as a patterned soundhole rosette, small dot inlays and a split saddle design for immaculate intonation.
