Description
Takamine GD11MCE NS Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric 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 cutaway dreadnought-sized Takamine is great for acoustic blues, bold strumming, or roots music. The low-gloss natural satin finish adds an old-school vibe, and the TP-4T electronics let you plug straight into an amp or PA, which makes it an easy way into a real Takamine for the stage.
