Order yours from Sweetwater today.Classic dreadnought body with a sweet sapele twist One of the most popular acoustic guitar shapes since its inception, dreadnoughts not only deliver robust presence and driving bass, but also a softer, sensitive side perfect for folk tunes or a lighter fingerpicked touch. With such a range available, everyone from acoustic bluegrass shredders to intimate singer/songwriters all favor dreadnoughts such as the Takamine GD-38CE. Moreover, this acoustic-electric doubles down on the dreadnought shape’s utility with its sapele back and sides. Dreadnought lovers are often drawn to sapele tonewoods. Tonally, it packs mahogany’s rich, articulate midrange while responding quicker to intricate dynamics. When amplified, sapele carves out sonic space for the GD-38CE12 but will never muddy the mix.Revered TP-3G electronics For decades, Takamine has proudly equipped players with acoustic-electric amplification that’s developed in-house, and the original systems were lightyears ahead of the competition in terms of sound quality and control. The GD-38CE12 packs Takamine’s acclaimed TP-3G electronics system, which combines stellar customization with streamlined controls, including a 3-band EQ. This robust equalizer lets you shape lows, mids, and highs with up to +/- 12dB of range for each band, meaning you can sweeten sounds while warding off cluttered bass and ear-piercing trebles that often plague amplified twelve-string acoustics. From mid-forward presence that cuts through the mix in band settings to scooped sounds that support a singer/songwriter’s performance, the TP-3G’s controls are indispensable assets and easy to love.Takamine GD-38CE12 12-string Acoustic-electric Dreadnought Features: A stunning stage-ready acoustic-electric 12-string with a versatile sound Spruce top offers lots of dynamic power with a perfectly responsive feel for strumming and fingerpicking Balanced dreadnought body shape readily adapts to different styles or techniques Sapele back and sides facilitate a versatile sound with impressive richness and warmth Revered TP-3G electronics with customizable 3-band EQ offer robust control of amplified tones Mahogany neck capped with a laurel fingerboard provides comfortable access to frets, including those exposed by a Venetian cutaway Premium appointments, including elegant binding across the body, fingerboard, and headstock Rosewood bridge and color-coordinated hardware enhance looks even more SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 12 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Dreadnought Back & Sides Wood Sapele Top Wood Solid Spruce Top Finish Gloss Color Black Body Bracing X Binding White Neck Wood Mahogany Neck Shape Slim Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Laurel Fingerboard Inlay Emblems Number of Frets 21, Nickel Silver Scale Length 25.3" Bridge Material Laurel Tuning Machines Closed Gear Electronics Takamine TP-3G Case/Gig Bag Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
