Overview
The Takamine GN51CE-BSB is a versatile electro-acoustic guitar that combines premium appointments, powerful acoustic projection, and reliable stage-ready electronics in Takamine’s distinctive NEX body shape. Part of the acclaimed G Series lineup, the GN51CE-BSB delivers a balanced tonal response and comfortable playing experience suited to performers, songwriters, and advancing acoustic players.
Built with a solid spruce top and black walnut back and sides, the GN51CE produces a rich, articulate sound with strong low-end warmth, sparkling highs, and excellent note definition. The NEX body design sits between a jumbo and auditorium shape, offering impressive projection while remaining comfortable for extended playing sessions.
The slim mahogany neck and bound laurel fingerboard provide smooth playability and comfortable fretting, while the Venetian cutaway allows easy access to upper frets for lead playing and modern acoustic techniques. Takamine’s Quartersawn X-Bracing enhances resonance and dynamic response, making the guitar equally suitable for fingerstyle and strumming applications.
Equipped with the Takamine TP-4TD preamp system, the GN51CE-BSB is ready for live performance and recording straight out of the box. The onboard electronics include a built-in tuner, gain control, and 3-band EQ for shaping your amplified tone with precision and clarity. The elegant Brown Sunburst gloss finish, abalone rosette, and gold hardware complete the guitar’s premium visual appeal.
