Takamine GN30-CE NEX Cutaway Acoustic-electric Guitar Demo - Sweetwater Sound

[@larryjelvik]

I have owned Martin, Gibson and Taylor and just bought a Takamine GN30CE and it has surprised me of its quality and tone. For the money it was an excellent buy...

[@mariocellura9018]

martin too expensive, forget it, yamaha is the best quality/price

[@tortillaman2491]

I want one!

[@TwoMinutesBass]

Its sound's good! I would take it on stage without doubt

[@arnaldodelahoz]

may you make a video about Takamine gd51ce or gd51 please?

[@TheMrKacu]

Should I buy GN30 or GD30 ? I wan't to play fingerstyle, and also chords and solos. I have no idea which one will be better, can you help me ?

[@miguelcuevas6861]

the GN30CE is better for fingerstyle

[@jakepeters4370]

Is this spruce or cedar? Looks like cedar to me.

[@michaelbalance98]

It's a solid spruce top. It just has more antique natural finish to it. (At least the one in this video does).

[@robertnesta4434]

What's the difference between this and the dreadnought version? Would it be correct to say the dreadnought version has a deeper, fuller sound?

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for your question Hyme, all the best to you and yours this holiday season. A cutaway does reduce some of the resonating cavity of the guitar, how significant the difference is up to the listener to determine. The manufacturers take that into account and adjust the bracing and structure of the instrument to mimic one to the other. It's not a better/worse, just different. Please contact me direct if I'm not understanding or answering your question accurately. Robert Williams, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 2371, [e-mail]

@@sweetwater ok that makes sense. Thanks for your reply.

The Takamine GN30-CE acoustic-electric guitar will seduce you with its rich tone, stunning good looks, and amazing playability. Sporting a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the GN30-CE's cutaway NEX "small jumbo" body is incredibly comfortable - even for smaller players. The GN30-CE's solid spruce top responds beautifully to a light, fingerstyle touch, yet will sing with authority when strummed boldly. Takamine's TP-4TD preamp is onboard, waiting to serve up natural-sounding amplification and flexible tone-shaping. If you're in the market for a versatile, comfortable, great-sounding acoustic, check out Takamine's GN30-CE! >> it's what they say on their website, might come in handy! :)

Am currently having an issue with the electronics of this model, when having it plugged in. It Only delivers signal to the amp when the tuner is on but when the tuner auto shuts off the signal to the amp stops too casuing an abrupt silence from the amp. I dont know if this was a an issue that the quality control guys at takamine overlooked. Partly my fault for not sticking around too long in the guitar shop to test it properly while buying it and only tested the natural sound and not the plugged in one. This was a chinese made takamine. Hoping to have this looked into at the guitar shop on my day off, thus begins my long tedious journey back... What a shame could have been an awesome guitar.

[@KiranAryal2000]

sound's really good...

[@mariocellura9018]

mais serie 800 yamaha is stronger !

[@kolokotoys5554]

Hi , Does Takamine Made in China and Made in korea is the same? in terms Quality and Durablity ??

[@josephteves]

KoLoko Toys it depends Sir. There are Japan made and China made. i guess it will be seen inside the body. I have GN77KCE-NAT. I thought mine is made in Japan. Its from China but IMO its great and durable nonetheless. :) Its really got a good sound.

[@crystaly6959]

I want know it too

[@ianmedina7815]

What type of strings do you recommend for this guitar having a pinless bridge?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Ian. This guitar will work with any standard ball-end acoustic string, so whatever your string of choice has been in the past, you can keep using with this. Thanks for your interest! Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1320, [e-mail]

[@sohanjaman9666]

What is the significance of pinless bridge?

[@michaelbalance98]

It makes re-stringing your guitar easier and faster. You don't have bridge pins to take out and put back in when putting new strings on it. You just slide your string through the back end of it put it through the tuning post, tighten it/tune it with the tuning peg, and you're good to go.

[@sbnqy]

I have a cherry red takamine g series EG560C made in Korea it’s 20 years old and I bought it in Tin Pan Alley London. I taken it round the world with me so it’s a bit banged up. I love it can you tell me if they make them anymore as I can’t seem to find one?

[@taetini3953]

Takamine gd30ce or gn30ce which one is better.

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Jeon! One isn't necessarily better than the other, but different players like different body shapes because of the characteristics that they have in sound and feel. I'd be happy to go over the differences between those with you if you want to call or email me. Thanks! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1793, [e-mail]

[@rocknrobertX17]

whats the difference between the GD series and the GN series?

[@miekocabral1857]

GD is a dreadnought style body. GN is their smaller body series. The dreads have the large, full bodied sound; GN are also very "dready" sounding, but not as big of a body, and perhaps a bit smaller sound. But still great.

[@angelbarrios338]

[@tonygarcia941]

Thats actually a mini-jumbo, or how takamine calls it: "Nex body"

[@patricknunez16]

[@michaelbalance98]

The GN30ce has mahogany back and sides, while the 50ce has Rosewood back and sides

[@TheEedjit]
