Product Overview

Construction and Materials

The GN73CE showcases a solid spruce top that resonates with authority, offering excellent projection and dynamic response for expressive playing. Its distinctive maple back and sides contribute brightness and clarity that cut through any mix, while the sleek NEX body—a scaled-down version of a jumbo dreadnought—provides exceptional comfort without compromising on volume or resonance. The satin black finish not only gives this guitar its striking stage presence but enhances tonal characteristics and durability.

With a comfortable 42.5mm nut width and standard 644mm scale length, this guitar delivers an effortless playing experience for performers of all hand sizes. The NEX cutaway design provides unrestricted access to upper frets, making this instrument versatile enough for complex fingerstyle passages and lead work.

Equipped with Takamine's proprietary TP-3G preamp system, designed in-house for optimal acoustic amplification, the GN73CE transitions seamlessly from unplugged intimacy to stage-ready performance. This sophisticated electronics package includes intuitive controls for masterful EQ shaping, allowing players to dial in their perfect tone whether performing in a small venue or on a large stage. Unplugged, this guitar delivers bold projection with remarkable articulation, handling both aggressive strumming and delicate fingerpicking with equal clarity.
