The Takamine GLD11E NS is a dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar with the benefit of a shorter scale length that provides a softer, warmer sound due to the lowered tension. The okoume top combined with the okoume back and sides create a rustic, rootsy sound that delivers robust fundamental tones. Stage amplification is achieved through Takamine's TP-3G electronics, and with a 3-band EQ and built-in chromatic tuner, dialing in the right tone is easier than ever.
