Bring the unmistakable shimmer and fullness of a 12-string to your music with the Takamine GD30CE-12 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Designed for players who want rich acoustic tone with stage-ready versatility, the GD30CE-12 combines Takamine craftsmanship with the powerful projection of a dreadnought body and the convenience of a Venetian-style cutaway.
The solid spruce top provides clarity, responsiveness, and excellent projection, while the mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth. Its 12-string configuration produces the lush, harmonically rich sound that works beautifully for strumming, accompaniment, worship music, classic rock, folk, country, and singer-songwriter performances.
