The Takamine GLD12E NS dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar delivers a softer, warmer sound due to the lowered tension of its shorter scale length. It has a spruce top for crisp articulation, and okoume back and sides for percussive richness. Enjoy additional amplification with the TP-3G electronics, plus a 3-band EQ and chromatic tuner to easily dial in the right tone. Additional appointments to the GLD12E NS include a mahogany neck, jatoba fingerboard and natural satin finish.
