General

Playing a twelve-string guitar doesn't have to be expensive. You don't believe it? This Takamine GD30-12NAT proves it. Although this guitar comes at a low price, it's very comfortable to play, looks neat and sounds just as rich as you might expect from a top-shelf twelve-string western guitar. This GD30-12NAT is an excellent guitar for serious beginners as well as more advanced players who are on a limited budget. Step into the world of alluring, enchanting acoustic sounds with this Takamine 12-string.
Takamine GD30-12NAT: solid-top dreadnought
This natural-coloured GD30-12 is a dreadnought-model western guitar from Takamine's improved G Series. With its large body with mahogany sides and back, solid spruce top, and twelve steel strings, this guitar offers a deep, rich and resonating sound. The neck accommodates six double sets of strings and is therefore a bit wider than that of a standard 6-string model, but it still is surprisingly slim and comfortable to play.
Finish and special features
Because looks matter too, the Takamine GD30-12NAT has been decorated with subtle yet tasteful details. Around the body and sound hole you can find multiple black-and-white bindings. The sound hole also features a mother-of-pearl inlay and a beautifully shaped black pickguard completes the picture. The guitar is fitted with a split bridge saddle for a better intonation and purity of tones. This saddle, just like the string nut, is made of synthetic bone, which sounds better and is much more durable than plastic.
