About this listing
Brand New in Factory Sealed Box. From Takamine Dealer The Takamine GD74CE is a 12-string acoustic-electric workhorse built with heritage and honor at the forefront of its design. Crafted as a guitar for popular, regional Mexican music styles, the GD74CE’s dreadnought body shape has a spruce top that gives your sound forceful projection while making strings dynamic and touch-sensitive, allowing for fluid transitions from heavy strums to fingerpicked melodies. Maple back and sides support spruce’s power with rich midrange harmonies and a quick, articulate response, while the GD74CE’s strong maple neck and laurel fingerboard lend great comfort and support for long sessions. The GD74CE, designed to be strung in unison, also features a double X-bracing pattern to support the tension of the 12-string setup and timeless appointments, including elegant binding, gold tuners with pearloid buttons, and a wood-inlaid rosette, a true work of art composed of style and substance.Classic dreadnought body with responsive maple supportOne of the most popular acoustic guitar shapes since its inception, dreadnoughts not only deliver robust presence and driving bass but also a softer, sensitive side perfect for folk tunes or a lighter fingerpicked touch. The GD74CE is no exception. With a solid spruce top accented by flame maple sides and back, it offers a booming low end complemented by sweet midrange harmonies ideal for the regional Mexican music styles that originally inspired this guitar. The GD74CE also features a strong maple neck and double X-bracing pattern, each providing a sturdy foundation to support string tension.Revered TP-3G electronicsFor decades, Takamine has proudly equipped players with acoustic-electric amplification that’s developed in-house, and the original systems were lightyears ahead of the competition in terms of sound quality and control. The GD74CE packs Takamine’s acclaimed TP-3G electronics system, which combines stellar customization with streamlined controls, including a 3-band EQ. This robust equalizer allows guitarists to shape lows, mids, and highs with up to +/- 12dB of range for each band, meaning they can dial in sounds while warding off cluttered bass and ear-piercing trebles that often plague amplified 12-string acoustics. From mid-forward presence that cuts through the mix in band settings to scooped sounds that support a singer/songwriter’s performance, the TP-3G’s controls are indispensable assets and easy to love.Takamine GD74CE Features:A stunning stage-ready 12-string acoustic-electric for regional Mexican music stylesDesigned to be strung in unisonSpruce top offers lots of dynamic, booming power with sweet midrange harmoniesBalanced dreadnought body shape readily adapts to different styles or techniquesMaple back and sides provide a quick and articulate responseDouble X-bracing provides a sturdy foundation to support the string tensionRevered TP-3G electronics with tuner and 3-band EQ offer robust control of amplified tonesMaple neck capped with a laurel fingerboard provides comfortable access to frets, including those exposed by a Venetian cutawayPremium appointments, including elegant binding and gold tuners with pearloid butto
