CLASSIC DREADNOUGHT SOUND

There's a reason the Dreadnought has become one of the most familiar acoustic guitar body shapes in the world.

It offers strong projection, a substantial low end and enough acoustic volume for everything from individual practice to strumming behind a vocalist.

For a player looking for one acoustic guitar capable of covering a wide range of music, it's a proven design.

The GLD12E keeps that formula straightforward.

The select spruce top provides clarity and definition, while the mahogany back and sides contribute warmth and body.

Whether you're learning your first songs, writing music, playing with friends or accompanying vocals, the GLD12E provides the broad acoustic voice players expect from a Dreadnought.

NATURAL SATIN — SIMPLE AND COMFORTABLE

We particularly like the Natural Satin finish on a guitar designed for everyday playing.

Instead of an elaborate high-gloss presentation, the GLD12E has a clean, understated appearance with a smooth feel that suits the personality of the instrument.

This is a guitar you're supposed to pick up.

Play it.

Practice with it.

Write songs on it.

Take it to rehearsal.

Use it.

That's exactly where the GLD12E makes sense.

TP-3G ELECTRONICS — READY TO PLUG IN

One of the advantages of choosing a Takamine is the company's long-standing focus on amplified acoustic performance.

The GLD12E features the Takamine TP-3G preamp system, giving the player onboard tone control along with a built-in tuner.

That means you can practice acoustically at home and then plug into an acoustic amplifier or PA when the situation calls for it.

The onboard tuner is equally useful.

For a developing guitarist, it encourages the important habit of keeping the instrument properly tuned.

For the performing player, it means one less piece of equipment to reach for before the next song.

A LOT OF USEFUL GUITAR WITHOUT THE UNNECESSARY EXTRAS

That's really the story of the GLD12E.

You're getting the things that matter:

A proven Dreadnought body.

Spruce and Okoume construction.

Comfortable satin finish.

Takamine electronics.

Built-in tuner.

Rather than trying to make this guitar something it isn't, Takamine has created a straightforward acoustic-electric for players who want a dependable instrument at an approachable price.

WHO IS THE GLD12E FOR?

This is a particularly good choice for the developing guitarist who wants to buy a legitimate acoustic-electric rather than something they'll immediately want to replace.

It also makes sense for an experienced player looking for a straightforward second acoustic, a songwriting guitar, a rehearsal instrument or an affordable Takamine that can be plugged in when needed.

It's not trying to compete with a premium handcrafted acoustic.

It doesn't need to.

Its job is to provide good fundamentals, useful electronics and a comfortable playing experience at an accessible price.

And that's exactly what makes it appealing.

THE NORTHEAST MUSIC CENTER PERSPECTIVE

At Northeast Music Center, we believe value isn't simply about finding the least expensive guitar.

Real value is getting the right features and a guitar you'll actually want to keep playing.

That's what we like about the Takamine GLD12E.

The Dreadnought body gives it versatility.

The spruce and mahogany construction provides a familiar acoustic foundation.

The satin finish keeps things comfortable and understated.

And the TP-3G electronics mean the guitar is already prepared when you're ready to plug in.

For a developing guitarist, singer-songwriter, student, worship musician or experienced player looking for an affordable everyday acoustic-electric, the GLD12E deserves consideration.
