Takamine GD30CE-12BLK 12-String Acoustic Electric Guitar, Black (B-Stock)

The GD30CE-12BLK is a 12-string dreadnought with a soft Venetian-style cutaway that balances fullness with comfortable upper-fret access. The mahogany neck paired with an ovangkol fingerboard delivers a responsive, stable playing experience, while the quartersawn X-bracing provides articulate projection without excessive weight. This is a working instrument built to handle stage or studio demands with built-in amplification.

Tone & Construction

A solid spruce top over mahogany back and sides produces the warm, resonant character expected from quality dreadnought construction. The 25.315″ scale length and 12-string configuration generate natural harmonic richness and the shimmer that 12-strings are prized for, while the quartersawn X-bracing ensures structural integrity and consistent tonal response across the instrument's lifespan.

Electronics & Playability

The integrated TP-4TD electronics system includes a built-in chromatic tuner, three-band EQ, and gain controls—essential tools for live performance and direct recording. The 1.6875″ nut width provides adequate string spacing for precise fingering on a 12-string configuration, while chrome die-cast tuners keep the instrument stable and reliable through extended sessions.
