Takamine Guitars are crafted from the finest handpicked tonewoods, hand-crafted by expert luthiers, all providing players with an unmatched excellence and surprising affordability. Now, their extremely popular G-Series line has just gotten bigger. A lot bigger, with the introduction of two new "Jumbo" models. These new guitars are built with traditional cutaway, "Jumbo" bodies featuring solid Sitka Spruce tops, and flame maple back and sides. The EG523SC is a 6-string version, while the EG523SC-12 is a brilliant new 12-string model. The rosewood fretboards are inlayed with Mother of Pearl and Abalone. Both Jumbos feature the world famous Takamine pickup and built-in tuner, along with the performance and value that players have come to expect from Takamine's G-Series.

The Big Boy of the G-Series

The G Series from Takamine has created great controversy. Play a G Series guitar and you're apt to think it's one of the finest acoustic/ electrics made. That's because it is. Actually, each one is made under the commanding rule of the luthiers who hand craft the guitars of the pros. Which is precisely why the EG523SC feels so good, and sounds so good.

The G Series offers more sizes, colors, woods than in any other family of models that Takmine offers. Made to their strict specifications, G Series instruments represent exceptionally good value.

Over a dozen distinct dreadnought models are included in the G Series, many with Solid Spruce tops. There are cutaway and non-cutaway read more models, 12-strings, straight acoustics and acoustic/electrics, plus a wide choice of colors.

TK4NT Preamp

The TK4NT gives you a tunable notch filter, switchable midrange contour and on-board tuner.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
My first acoustic guitar purchase thats not made in the USA. I have 3 Martins and 1 Taylor. I must say, I am very impressed with this guitar. It was set up perfectly right out of the box. It comes with Diaddario strings so theres no need to change them. Just unpack it , tune it , and thats it. The guitar sounds great plugged in or unplugged. The electronic tuner is great and the electronics are easy to use. There are many well known musicians that use Takimine guitars. This guitar is a quality instrument.
