Takamine G-series guitars offer traditional Takamine quality and features at player-friendly prices! The G-series GLD11E Dreadnought strikes a fine balance between power and simplicity with solid tonewood selections and gig-ready electronics. The GLD11E’s top, back, and sides are all crafted from okoume, a quality affordable hardwood that sonically falls between maple and mahogany. The resulting sound is rustic, rootsy, and full. Playability is easy up and down the neck, thanks to Takamine’s slim profile mahogany neck and the softened feel of a shorter scale (630mm compared to the more common 645mm scale). Musicians looking to gig and record will also be pleased with this guitar’s TP-3G electronics, which provide a classic amplified acoustic sound plus a built-in chromatic tuner and EQ for tweaking tone to taste.
