Slide effortlessly down the rosewood fretboard. Feel the magnificence that comes with a smooth, easy playing experience. There's nothing better. And when you're plugged in and amped up, your performance will be unforgettable thanks to the TK-40D preamp, offering supremely precise sound shaping capabilities. Everything has been meticulously crafted, from the split-saddle design of the rosewood bridge to minimal abalone dot inlays, from gold die-cast tuning machines to the understated soundhole rosette. Premium quality is shown in even the smallest of details.

Divine looks, heavenly sound

The GN93CE showcases a sublime spruce and rosewood construction - two tonewoods that offer a supremely clear, room-filling sound. The solid spruce top is the perfect soundboard for broad dynamics and projection, whilst its diamond-quality articulation will ensure each note retains every ounce of definition, whatever you play. And when you have rosewood back and sides providing all their resonance and brightness in good measure, you know you can count on superb richness, whether you're strumming or fingerpicking. Better still, the back is injected with a touch of the maple goodness that acoustic players love, courtesy of the quilt maple centre that runs in streamlined, exquisite fashion. True beauty, from every angle.

Innovative design

Takamine's revolutionary NEX body shape is the ultimate producer of sublime, rich tones, granting you an organic acoustic sound. Similar to the grand auditorium, the NEX has a bold, silky-smooth voice with plenty of versatility. From thick chords to delicate picking, you'll be able to play pretty much anything.

It's not just superb sound that the NEX body shape offers, but also luscious playability. Thanks to its nipped-in waist and scaled down size, this guitar is perfect for budding musicians and those who want extra comfort whilst playing. Prepare for an effortless performance, every time.

Premium quality details

Elegant appointments grace this already-beautiful guitar, giving you an instrument that not only plays exquisitely, but looks sublime too. The split-saddle design allows for precise intonation, whilst the rosewood fretboard - adorned with abalone dot inlays - and mahogany neck lend themselves to smooth, effortless fretting. From gold die-cast tuning machines to the sleek maple binding, the GN93 is captivating from first glance.
