Takamine G-series GLD12E Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar – Natural

Takamine G-series guitars offer traditional Takamine quality and features at player-friendly prices! The Takamine G-series GLD12E Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar – Natural strikes a fine balance between power and simplicity with solid tonewood selections and gig-ready electronics. The GLD12E features a gorgeous, resonant spruce top paired with back and sides made from okoume, a quality affordable hardwood that sonically falls between maple and mahogany. The resulting sound is rustic, rootsy, and full. Playability is easy up and down the neck, thanks to Takamine’s slim profile mahogany neck and the softened feel of a shorter scale (630mm compared to the more common 645mm scale). Musicians looking to gig and record will also be pleased with this guitar’s TP-3G electronics, which provide a classic amplified acoustic sound plus a built-in chromatic tuner and EQ for tweaking tone to taste.

Great woods, great price

G-series instruments offer incredible value that’s blown a number of guitarists away! It’s arguably the lowest you can expect to pay for a guitar made with solid tonewoods. The GLD12E features okoume back and sides; this rich tonewood not only looks gorgeous with plenty of stunning wood grain, but it also speaks with a strong focused voice and pairs well with the dreadnought body style. Okoume is rootsy, rustic, and full with the strong fundamentals of mahogany, slightly sweetened with brighter top end commonly associated with maple. The GLD12E’s spruce top further enhances that sweetness with the type of dynamic response you’d expect from a top-tier guitar (many of which feature spruce tops). The final garnish on the GLD12E? A vintage-style satin finish, which gives this guitar a stunning aura of professional sophistication that looks and feels great.

Ready to serve

The GLD12E doesn’t just look like a professional guitar, it also feels like one with performance-minded features that are nearly unmatched in its price range! The key to this playability is the GLD12E’s short-scale neck. Clocking in at 630mm, it plays much like a standard-scale guitar, but with the advantage of a softer, more supple string feel and enhanced low end for added warmth. This makes the GLD12E a perfect pick for players who want the power of a dreadnought, but the smoother feel of a small-bodied guitar for fingerpicking. Putting the GLD12E to work at gigs, in the studio, or as a songwriting powerhouse is simple and easy. Onboard TP-3G electronics deliver straightforward but robust amplification with everything players could want or need from a built-in preamp. There’s versatile 3-band EQ and a chromatic tuner for always staying dialed in and on pitch. With features like this, you’re ready to tackle any musical scenario that calls for an acoustic guitar.

Takamine G-series GLD12E Dreadnought Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Dreadnought acoustic-electric with a shortened scale length
  • 630mm scale yields a warmer sound with silky string action that’s perfect for fingerpicking
  • Spruce top yields snappy, responsive dynamics with excellent volume and projection
  • Okoume back and sides deliver rustic, rootsy tone with robust clarity
