Overview

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

The Takamine TP-3G pickup system gives you total control over your amplified tone. Shape your sound with the 3-band EQ, then ensure perfect intonation with the built-in tuner. Whether on stage or in the studio, the TP-3G pickup system makes the GD38CE an incredibly versatile 12-string guitar.

Premium Components and Elegant Finish

With a gloss black finish, mahogany neck, 12-fret laurel fingerboard and abalone rosette, the GD38CE is as stunning to look at as it is to play. Premium components throughout provide exceptional feel and durability, making this acoustic-electric guitar a lifetime companion.
