Takamine GJ72CE-12NAT 12 String Acoustic Guitar Natural B-Stock

The GJ72CE-12NAT is a jumbo 12-string acoustic built for players who need projection and presence without sacrificing comfort. The slim mahogany neck and 1.6875" nut width keep the instrument manageable despite the 12-string configuration, while the lightweight construction at 5.85–6.3 lbs makes extended playing sessions feasible. This B-stock model delivers full performance specifications at a reduced price point.

Tone & Construction

The solid spruce top paired with flame maple back and sides produces a bright, articulate response with solid sustain—essential for 12-string work where clarity across paired courses matters. The TK-40D electronics with 3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble) and low-battery indicator handle amplification duties reliably, making this guitar viable for both studio and live settings.

Playability & Hardware

The 25.4" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius across 21 frets strike a practical balance for 12-string navigation, while the rosewood fingerboard provides durability and classic feel under the fingers. Gold die-cast tuners with pearl buttons hold stable tuning across all 12 strings, and the synthetic bone nut plus split bridge saddle preserve tonal clarity without maintenance headaches.
