The solid spruce top and a walnut body create a balanced, powerful sound
Spruce and walnut
Acoustic enthusiasts will be pleased with a solid spruce top for clear midrange and treble frequencies and a walnut body that enriches the tone with warm bass frequencies that unfold quickly and completely thanks to a thin high-gloss finish. Spruce in particular is one of the most popular top woods in guitar making, as its sound reaches absolute perfection over time. Meanwhile, the persistently popular dreadnought design provides the necessary assertiveness and powerful basses.
Player-friendly dimensions, clean intonation and high tuning stability
High playing comfort
For accommodating playability, the manufacturer relies on a mahogany neck with a laurel fingerboard on the Takamine GD51N, which is easy and comfortable to grip. A two-piece bridge inlay and a 42.5 mm wide nut also ensure clean intonation over the entire 644 mm scale length and provide the best conditions for powerful strumming and flatpicking. Meanwhile, gold-plated die-cast tuners ensure high tuning stability, while a black pickguard protects the material from damage during pick play.
