Takamine GN51CE-BSB Acoustic Electric Guitar in Brown Sunburst Finish
The GN51CE-BSB sits comfortably in hand with its slim mahogany neck and balanced NEX body shape, engineered for extended sets without hand fatigue. The Venetian-style cutaway grants effortless access to the upper frets, while the solid spruce top paired with black walnut back and sides delivers articulate, warm acoustics that punch through on stage and hold their own unplugged in smaller rooms. Built for gigging musicians who need reliable amplified performance night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The solid spruce top and black walnut construction yield resonant, articulate acoustics with natural sustain and clarity across the frequency range. The onboard TP-4TD preamp system includes a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, and gain controls, letting you shape your tone precisely and maintain rock-solid amplified performance in any live or studio environment.
Playability & Build
The slim mahogany neck and 12-inch-radius bound laurel fingerboard are engineered for comfort and quick fret transitions, while gold die-cast tuning machines and a synthetic bone nut guarantee stable tuning and sustained intonation through a full gig. With 20 frets and a 25.4-inch scale length, the geometry supports both fingerstyle and pick technique without compromise.
