Takamine GD30CE 12-String Left-Handed Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Gloss Natural

Takamine GD30CE-12 NAT LH Dreadnought 12-String Acoustic Guitar

This left-handed 12-string dreadnought delivers the full, shimmering chorus that defines 12-string performance with a body shape engineered for comfort during extended playing sessions. The Venetian-style cutaway provides access to upper frets while maintaining the projection and resonance expected from a full-sized dreadnought frame. Designed for players seeking authentic 12-string voicing without compromise, this model combines traditional craftsmanship with modern amplification.

Tone & Resonance

A solid spruce top with quartersawn X-bracing produces bright, articulate highs and balanced sustain across all 12 strings. The mahogany neck and back/sides contribute warmth and midrange definition, while the 12-fret rosewood bridge and synthetic bone nut ensure stable intonation and reliable string transfer.

Playability & Electronics

The slim mahogany neck and 1.875-inch nut width accommodate the demands of 12-string fingering, while the 12-inch fingerboard radius with 20 frets supports both open and partial-capo voicings. The integrated Takamine TP-4TD preamp system includes a built-in tuner, 3-band EQ, and independent gain controls for seamless acoustic-to-amplified performance.
