Each of the six notes, E-A-D-G-B-E, is played by a pair of strings. On the lower four pairs the second string is tuned an octave higher, and the two highest pairs are tuned in unison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the GD30CE-12 NAT LH a solid-wood guitar?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top is solid spruce, which is the part of the guitar that matters most for tone and projection. The back and sides are okoume, and the neck is mahogany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the GD30CE-12 NAT LH left-handed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This listing is the left-handed GD30CE-12 NAT LH, built for left-handed players. The right-handed version is listed separately where available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I plug the GD30CE-12 NAT LH into an amp or PA?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is an acoustic-electric with a Takamine TP-4TD preamp, which gives you a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, and gain controls, so you can plug straight into an amp or PA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the GD30CE-12 NAT LH have a cutaway?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The GD30CE-12 NAT LH is a Dreadnought Cutaway model, which makes the upper frets easier to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a 12-string harder to play than a 6-string?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little. Twelve strings mean more tension on your fretting hand and a bit more finger strength to get clean chords, and the nut here is 47.5 mm (1.87 in) wide, wider than a typical 6-string, so your fingers have more room. Most players get comfortable within a few weeks. If you are new to guitar, the included Rock Like The Pros membership walks you through the fundamentals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the GD30CE-12 NAT LH come with a case?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Takamine does not include a case with the GD30CE-12. The compatible case is the Takamine CTAKSH200A semi-hard case, which is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between the Takamine GD30CE-12 NAT LH and the GD30CE-12 NAT?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GD30CE-12 NAT LH is the left-handed version of the GD30CE-12 NAT. It has the same dreadnought cutaway body, solid spruce top, okoume back and sides, mahogany neck, and TP-4TD preamp, built for left-handed players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I claim the Rock Like The Pros membership?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter you order, we email you a link to claim your free 12-month Rock Like The Pros membership.
