Big Body. Big Voice. Built to Perform.

Some acoustic guitars are designed around intimacy.

The Takamine G Series GJ72CE-NAT takes a different approach.

Built around a commanding Jumbo body, the GJ72CE pairs a solid spruce top with beautifully figured flame maple back and sides, delivering the volume, projection and full-bodied response players expect from a large acoustic guitar.

Add a slim mahogany neck, bound laurel fingerboard, cutaway access and Takamine's versatile TK-40D preamp system, and this becomes much more than a big acoustic.

It's a serious performance instrument designed to sound as impressive plugged in as it looks under the stage lights.

This particular GJ72CE-NAT is serial number TC23120254, available now from Northeast Music Center.

JUMBO — WHEN YOU WANT MORE GUITAR

The Jumbo body has always had a clear purpose.

Move air.

The larger body gives the GJ72CE the physical platform to produce a broad, powerful acoustic voice with the volume and authority players expect from a Jumbo.

This makes it particularly effective as a rhythm guitar.

Big open chords have weight.

Strumming produces projection.

The larger body fills musical space beautifully behind a vocalist.

And when you're playing acoustically with other musicians, there's enough natural presence to make itself heard.

If you prefer a smaller, more intimate acoustic, Takamine offers plenty of choices

The GJ72CE is for the player who wants to feel the guitar working against their body when they hit a chord.

SOLID SPRUCE — POWER WITH DYNAMIC RANGE

A large acoustic body needs a soundboard capable of translating that potential into musical response.

Takamine uses a solid spruce top on the GJ72CE.

Spruce brings the dynamic range, clarity and headroom needed to handle everything from moderate accompaniment to aggressive strumming.

That's particularly important with a Jumbo.

A big guitar needs more than volume—it needs enough definition to prevent that volume from becoming unfocused.

The solid spruce top helps provide exactly that.

FLAME MAPLE — SOUND WITH A VISUAL STATEMENT

Turn the GJ72CE around and the personality changes again.

The flame maple back and sides give this guitar a striking visual presence.

Maple is also traditionally associated with a clear, immediate acoustic response that can work especially well on larger-bodied guitars, helping maintain definition alongside the natural power of the Jumbo design.

Visually, though, there's no mistaking what makes this version special.

The figuring of the maple catches the light and gives the instrument a character that changes depending on the viewing angle.

Combined with the Natural gloss finish, this is a guitar that looks particularly good on stage.

COMFORT WHERE IT COUNTS

A Jumbo is a substantial acoustic guitar.

That doesn't mean the neck needs to feel substantial.

Takamine pairs the large body with a slim mahogany neck and bound laurel fingerboard, providing a comfortable fretting-hand experience.

The 12" fingerboard radius and 1.6875" nut width give the guitar a familiar contemporary feel suitable for chords, lead work and general-purpose acoustic playing.

The cutaway also provides easier access farther up the fingerboard.

So while the body is intentionally big, the playing experience remains approachable.

TK-40D — SERIOUS STAGE CONTROL

The GJ72CE isn't simply built to produce a large unplugged sound.

It's designed to perform.

Takamine equips it with the versatile TK-40D preamp system, giving the player:

• Built-in tuner
• Three-band EQ
• Gain control
• Mid contour switch
• Notch filter
• EQ bypass switch

This is where Takamine's experience with stage acoustic guitars becomes particularly valuable.

The notch filter gives performing musicians an important tool for controlling problematic feedback frequencies, while the three-band EQ and mid contour allow the amplified sound to be shaped for different rooms, amplifiers and PA systems.

That becomes especially useful with a large-bodied acoustic guitar.

The GJ72CE can produce plenty of energy.

The TK-40D gives you the tools to control it.

DETAILS THAT MATCH THE PERSONALITY

Takamine didn't give this Jumbo a plain appearance.

An abalone rosette surrounds the soundhole.

The bound fingerboard features a distinctive abalone Reversed Mountain inlay at the 12th fret.

And gold die-cast tuners with pearl buttons add another upscale visual detail.

Combined with the flame maple and high-gloss Natural finish, the appointments give the GJ72CE enough visual presence to match its acoustic personality.

A singer-songwriter who likes a big acoustic foundation behind their voice.

A rhythm guitarist who wants chords to sound broad and powerful.

A performing musician who needs a stage-ready acoustic-electric.

Or simply someone who believes an acoustic guitar should look, feel and sound substantial.
