Takamine GN77KCE NEXC Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural Koa | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Takamine GN77KCE NEXC is a scaled-down jumbo acoustic-electric guitar that delivers massive tone and projection in a beautifully crafted Hawaiian Koa package. Its laminated koa top, back, and sides produce a distinctive mid-focused chime with rich, full-bodied lows that fill any room. Equally at home on stage or in the living room, this guitar is an excellent choice for intermediate to gigging-level players seeking a versatile, stunning instrument.
Product Overview
The GN77KCE is built with a laminated Hawaiian Koa top, back, and sides finished in a high-gloss Natural that highlights the wood's striking grain patterns. Ivory ABS binding frames the body cleanly, while quartersawn X-bracing beneath the top optimizes resonance and tonal stability. The result is a guitar that looks as remarkable as it sounds.
The slim mahogany neck carries a shallow "C" profile for comfortable playability across long sessions, topped by a laurel fingerboard with a 12"-radius that accommodates both chord-strumming and single-note runs with ease. Abalone dot inlays provide clean fretboard navigation, and the composite nut and saddle contribute to consistent string height and bright attack.
On the electronics side, Takamine's proprietary TP-4TD preamp system handles amplification duties with a 3-band EQ and built-in chromatic tuner. This system faithfully reproduces the guitar's natural acoustic character through the PA, making it a dependable choice for live performance. Die-cast gold tuning machines keep the instrument reliably in pitch night after night.

Key Features
Hawaiian Koa Tonewoods Laminated Hawaiian Koa on the top, back, and sides produces a warm, focused tone with a natural chime that cuts through the mix. Koa's character sits between mahogany's warmth and maple's brightness, making it highly versatile across folk, pop, and light rock styles.
Mini Jumbo Cutaway Body The scaled-down jumbo shape provides the volume and depth of a larger guitar while keeping the instrument comfortable and manageable. The cutaway grants easy access to the upper frets without sacrificing low-end projection.
Slim Mahogany Neck and Laurel Fingerboard The shallow "C" neck profile is designed for fatigue-free playing and is particularly comfortable for players with smaller hands. The 12"-radius laurel fingerboard supports both rhythm playing and lead work across all 20 frets.
TP-4TD Preamp System Takamine's stage-proven TP-4TD preamp delivers warm, natural amplified tone without coloring the guitar's inherent acoustic character. The 3-band EQ lets players dial in their sound quickly, and the built-in chromatic tuner means you're always performance-ready.
Die-Cast Gold Hardware Gold die-cast tuning machines provide smooth, reliable tuning stability and minimize retuning between songs. The laurel bridge paired with a composite nut and saddle maintains proper string action and sustain across all six strings.
