The Black and Red Acoustic You Weren’t Even Looking For

The Black and Red Acoustic You Weren’t Even Looking For

Most acoustic guitars play it safe when it comes to looks. Natural finish. Maybe some tortoiseshell. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it’s nice to stand out a little.

The Takamine GF49CE makes its presence known with a Cosmic Black gloss finish and deep red binding.

Underneath the bold styling, you’ve got a comfortable thinline body, a solid spruce top, and Takamine’s TP-4TD preamp with built-in tuner. It’s stage-ready, well-balanced, and doesn’t feel like a compromise on tone or build quality just because it looks good.

Why it’s a Cool Find:

  • Unique black finish with red binding — not your average acoustic
  • Thinline body with cutaway for comfort and access
  • Solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides
  • Takamine electronics with built-in tuner
  • Great price for a guitar that doesn’t feel generic

Use it for:

  • Live performance where visuals matter as much as sound
  • Electric players looking for an acoustic that doesn’t feel bulky
  • Recording bright, clear acoustic tones with no mud
  • Owning a black and red guitar just because you can

Plenty of acoustics blend in. This one shows up.
