Takamine GJ72CE-NAT G70 Series Jumbo Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Series: G70 Series
Body Shape: Jumbo Cutaway
Orientation: Right-Handed
Finish: Gloss Natural
Overview
The Takamine GJ72CE-NAT is a premium electro-acoustic guitar from the G70 Series, combining the powerful projection of a jumbo body with striking tonewoods and versatile onboard electronics. Designed for players who want a full, resonant acoustic sound, it is well suited to strumming, rhythm playing, songwriting and live performance.
A solid spruce top provides clear articulation, brightness and dynamic response, while the flame maple back and sides contribute definition and a balanced tonal character. The jumbo body enhances volume and resonance, giving chords a broad, full-bodied sound that works particularly well for accompanying vocals and driving rhythm parts.
The slim mahogany neck and bound laurel fingerboard provide a comfortable playing feel, while the Venetian-style cutaway makes reaching the upper frets easier. Premium appointments, including an abalone soundhole rosette, a distinctive reversed-mountain abalone inlay at the 12th fret and gold tuning machines with pearl buttons, give the GJ72CE-NAT a refined appearance.
For amplified performance, the Takamine TK-40D preamp system includes a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, gain control, mid-contour switch, notch filter and EQ bypass. These controls provide flexibility for shaping your amplified tone and managing feedback on stage, making the GJ72CE-NAT a versatile choice for performing musicians.
