A performance-ready dreadnought with onboard electronics for gigging guitarists.
The Takamine GD38CE acoustic-electric guitar provides a lush 12-string tone and premium performance features. Its solid spruce top, and sapele back and sides produce a full, resonant sound with chimey highs and rich lows. The cutaway dreadnought body delivers a booming acoustic voice while allowing comfortable access to higher frets. When plugged in, the GD38CE comes alive with the Takamine TP-3G pickup system, which includes a built-in tuner and 3-band EQ for crafting your amplified tone.
Solid Spruce Top and Sapele Sides Generate a Mighty 12-String Tone
The solid spruce top is the foundation of the GD38CE's bold tone, with sapele back and sides adding warmth and depth. Together, they produce a balanced, chimey voice that rings out with shimmering highs and a rounded low end. Strum a full chord and be enveloped in the lush, layered sound only a 12-string can create.
Cutaway Dreadnought Body Delivers Powerful Voice and Playability
The familiar dreadnought shape provides a full, booming tone, while the single-cutaway design allows easy access beyond the 12th fret. Whether fingerpicking complex melodies or strumming open chords, the cutaway dreadnought body offers comfort and versatility.
Takamine TP-3G Pickup System With Onboard Tuner
