12-String | Solid Spruce Top | Dreadnought Cutaway | Takamine Electronics | Natural Finish

Serial Number: CC250902872

IMPORTANT: This guitar DOES NOT include a hardshell case or gig bag.

That unmistakable 12-string sound—with Takamine stage-ready practicality.

There's nothing quite like a great 12-string acoustic.

The shimmer.

The natural chorus.

The way a simple open chord suddenly becomes larger, wider and more dimensional.

The Takamine G Series GD30CE-12NAT takes that unmistakable 12-string character and puts it into a practical acoustic-electric designed for players who actually intend to use it.

Built around a full-bodied Dreadnought cutaway platform, the GD30CE-12 pairs a solid spruce top with Takamine construction and onboard electronics, giving players the projection and harmonic complexity they want from a 12-string along with the ability to plug in when it's time to perform.

THE SOUND ONLY A 12-STRING CAN CREATE

A 12-string isn't simply a six-string acoustic with six additional strings.

It's a different musical voice.

The paired courses create natural harmonic interaction that produces the unmistakable shimmering, chorus-like character players associate with great 12-string recordings.

Even familiar chord progressions can take on an entirely different personality.

Open chords become enormous.

Arpeggios shimmer.

Single-note passages gain texture.

And when used behind a vocal, a 12-string can fill an incredible amount of musical space without requiring additional instrumentation.

That's why the sound has remained such an important part of acoustic music for generations.

SOLID SPRUCE — EXACTLY WHERE IT COUNTS

At the heart of the GD30CE-12 is a solid spruce soundboard.

That's particularly important on a 12-string.

With twelve strings driving the top, you want a soundboard capable of translating all of that energy into a clear, musical response rather than allowing the sound to become congested.

Spruce offers the projection, dynamic range and clarity needed to keep the individual courses defined while still allowing those paired strings to blend into the rich harmonic character players want from a 12-string.

The result is power without sacrificing definition.

DREADNOUGHT BODY — BUILT FOR AUTHORITY

The Dreadnought body is a natural home for a 12-string.

Its larger internal air volume helps provide the low-end foundation and projection necessary to balance the brilliant upper harmonics produced by the octave strings.

That combination gives the GD30CE-12 a broad, room-filling acoustic voice.

But Takamine also incorporates a cutaway, giving the player easier access farther up the fingerboard.

So while the guitar has the traditional authority of a Dreadnought, it isn't limited to traditional first-position acoustic playing.

BUILT TO PLUG IN

This is where Takamine's experience with acoustic-electric guitars becomes particularly important.

A 12-string can sound spectacular on stage—but amplifying one effectively requires an instrument designed with live performance in mind.

The GD30CE-12 provides onboard Takamine electronics along with a built-in tuner, allowing the guitar to move easily from acoustic playing to amplified performance.

And on a 12-string, that tuner isn't merely a convenience.

You have twelve strings to keep in tune.

Having tuning capability built directly into the guitar makes life considerably easier at rehearsal, on stage or between songs.

A 12-STRING YOU CAN ACTUALLY US

There are guitars you buy because they're interesting to own.

Then there are guitars you reach for because they solve a musical need.

The GD30CE-12 is designed to be the latter.

Use it to add another layer to a recording.

Put it behind a vocal.

Bring it to church.

Use it for an acoustic duo.

Add texture to a full-band arrangement.

Or simply sit at home and enjoy what happens when twelve strings turn an ordinary chord progression into something completely different.

That's the beauty of a good 12-string.

It makes familiar music feel new again.

WHY THE GD30CE-12 MAKES SENSE

A 12-string is often a second acoustic guitar.

That means value and practicality matter.

The GD30CE-12 gives players the important ingredients without turning the instrument into something unnecessarily complicated.

A solid spruce top.

A full-size Dreadnought body.

Cutaway access.

Takamine electronics.

Built-in tuning.

And that unmistakable twelve-string voice.

For the player who has been thinking about adding a 12-string to their collection—or the performing musician who genuinely needs one—the GD30CE-12 offers a compelling way to get there.

THE NORTHEAST MUSIC CENTER PERSPECTIVE

At Northeast Music Center, we think specialized instruments should earn their place in a player's collection.

A 12-string needs to offer something genuinely different from the six-string sitting next to it.

The Takamine GD30CE-12NAT absolutely does.

Its solid spruce top and Dreadnought body give those twelve strings room to develop, while the onboard electronics make it practical for musicians who need to take that sound beyond the living room.

And this particular guitar—serial number CC250902872—is here at Northeast Music Center and ready for its next player.

We also believe strongly in representing exactly what the customer will receive, so we'll emphasize once again:

This guitar DOES NOT include a hardshell case or gig bag.
