The Takamine GD38CE brings the big, shimmering voice of a 12-string dreadnought into a stage-ready G-Series package. Inspired by Takamine’s Legacy Series EF381SC, this gloss black cutaway acoustic-electric delivers classic 12-string chime with a bold, full-bodied dreadnought voice.
A solid spruce top provides clarity and projection, while sapele back and sides add warmth and balance. The cutaway body gives easier access to the upper frets, and the built-in Takamine TP-3G electronics include a 3-band EQ and chromatic tuner for reliable plugged-in performance. A Takamine GBXW gig bag is included.
