The Takamine P6NC Pro Series NEX cutaway acoustic-electric guitar provides the projection of a jumbo with the articulate balance ideal for singer-songwriters. Its solid Sitka spruce top resonates fully while scalloped X-bracing allows the notes to ring clearly—perfect for accompanying vocals. The convenient cutaway gives you access to upper frets, enabling intricate solos. This guitar delivers professional performance and recording-ready electronics in an instrument designed for the needs of gigging musicians.

Resonant Materials Create a Bold yet Balanced Tone

The P6NC features a solid Sitka spruce top, solid maple back, figured maple sides. Spruce provides articulation and projection suited for cutting through mixes, while maple adds warmth and depth. Together they generate a bold yet balanced tone that complements vocals and suits a variety of musical styles.

Innovative Bracing Provides Superior Sustain and Articulation

Takamine's scalloped X-bracing optimizes resonance and structural integrity. Carving braces in an X pattern allows the spruce top to vibrate freely, enhancing articulation, while scalloping the braces reduces mass, improving sustain. The result is a broad tonal range with notes that bloom fully before decaying evenly.

Cutaway and Electronics Provide Recording and Gig-Ready Performance

The P6NC's cutaway gives you comfortable access to higher frets for solos and intricate fingerpicking. Takamine’s proprietary CT4-DX preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup offers peerless amplified response. The CT4-DX provides ultimate flexibility with a four-band EQ (low, low mid, high mid, high) and two notch filter controls to reduce feedback. An onboard tuner ensures you're in tune whether onstage or in the studio.
