Takamine GC3CE-BLK electro-acoustic classical guitar

General

The Takamine GC3CE-BLK is a reliable classical guitar that offers you best of both worlds. On the one hand, you get an acoustic instrument built with great craftsmanship, featuring a glossy black finish. On the other hand, you get a cutaway electric model, fitted with the Takamine TP-4T preamplifier module. This means that you can perform acoustically at small, intimate venues but also play electrically at larger venues without having to place a microphone. The GC3CE-BLK is also very convenient in the studio as you only have to plug it in and you're good to go.
Takamine GC3CE-BLK: solid top
The quality of an acoustic guitar always relies on the wood types used. That's why this GC3CE-BLK has a top made of solid spruce, creating a much stronger sound than that of a laminated top. The spruce also provides a sparkly and dynamic sound. The sides and the back of this Takamine are made of mahogany in order to get warm undertones. Thanks to a very tasteful Venetian cutaway, you get better access to the highest frets, of which there are 19 on this rosewood fretboard.
Electronics: TP-4T
The GC3CE-BLK has a TP-4T preamplifier on board, combined with a built-in pickup. Thanks to the 3-band equalizer you have optimal control over the amplified sound, live as well as in the studio. With the gain knob you can set the output level and thanks to the built-in chromatic tuner with LED display, tuning your guitar is a breeze. An LED indicator will remind you when the 9V battery is low. All in all, this Takamine GC3CE-BLK offers you best of both worlds at a great price. You get a pure, classical sound and electronics, ready to get on stage.
