Common questions
Does the GC5 have onboard electronics?
No. The GC5 is an acoustic-only guitar with no pickup or preamp. If you want to plug into an amp or PA, look at the GC5CE, the electric version.
What is the difference between the Takamine GC5 and the GC5CE?
The GC5 is acoustic only with no cutaway. The GC5CE adds a Venetian-style cutaway and the onboard TP-4T preamp. Both are classical guitars with a fan-braced solid spruce top, black walnut back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a laurel fingerboard.

Who is the Takamine GC5 for?
