Description
Takamine GN11M NS NEX Acoustic Guitar with a sapele top, sapele back and sides, a mahogany neck, a laurel fingerboard, and a Natural Satin finish.
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I started as a studio musician in Los Angeles, and now I run Terry Carter Music Store and a music education platform that has taught thousands of students how to play.
This all-sapele NEX-sized Takamine is great for roots music, fingerstyle, and blues, with a broad, warm tone. The low-gloss natural satin finish gives it an old-school vibe, and the price makes it an easy way into a real Takamine.

Common questions
What tuning does the Takamine GN11M use?
Standard guitar tuning, E-A-D-G-B-E from the lowest string to the highest.
What is the GN11M made of?
It is an all-sapele guitar, with a sapele top, back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a laurel fingerboard.
Does the GN11M have onboard electronics?
No. The GN11M is an acoustic-only guitar with no pickup or preamp. If you want to plug into an amp or PA, look at GN11MCE, the electric version.
Can I plug the GN11M into an amp?
Not as it comes, because there is no pickup or preamp. You would need to add an aftermarket pickup, or choose the GN11MCE, which has onboard electronics.
Is the GN11M right-handed or left-handed?
This listing is the right-handed GN11M NS. Takamine also makes left-handed versions of some models, and we list those separately where available.
Does the GN11M come with a case?
No. Takamine does not include a case with the GN11M. The compatible case is the Takamine CTAKSH200A semi-hard case, which is sold separately.
What is the difference between the Takamine GN11M NS and the GN11MCE NS?
The GN11MCE is the electric version of the GN11M, with a cutaway and onboard TP-4T electronics. The GN11M has no onboard electronics and is the more affordable acoustic-only choice.
