With a big-sounding NEX body style the Takamine GD11M NEX Acoustic Guitar has a mahogany top construction to create a guitar that looks as good as it sounds. The 6-string, right-handed is specially created for musicians looking for multiple playing styles with a balanced choice while its woodiness pairs nicely with steel strings. The use of mahogany wood for top, back and sides is for producing warm, earthy, mid-range dominant sound with subtle overtones. This acoustic guitar comes in a natural satin finish with mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard for smooth feels and brighter sound. This original Takamine body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart. The NEX has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully.
