Takamine GLN11ENS Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural Satin
Takamine GLN11ENS Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural Satin
The Takamine GLN11E NS Acoustic Electric Guitar in Natural Satin is an exceptional instrument designed for players who appreciate the nuances of sound that come with a carefully crafted guitar. Featuring the NEX body shape, this model provides a unique balance between the tonal depth of a larger guitar and the comfort of a smaller body, making it versatile for a variety of musical genres.
Design and Craftsmanship: The GLN11E NS boasts a NEX body shape, which is akin to a scaled-down jumbo. This design offers a rich, robust sound with a strong midrange, making it perfect for vocal accompaniment. The top, back, and sides are all made from okoume, a wood known for producing a sweet, midrange-focused tone with plenty of warmth, thanks to the reduced string tension from the shorter 630mm scale length. This warmth is enhanced by the natural satin finish, which also gives the guitar a refined, understated look.
Playability: The mahogany neck and jatoba fingerboard ensure a smooth playing experience. The shorter scale length not only contributes to the warmer tone but also makes fretting easier, especially for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a less tense feel from their strings. The nut width of 42.8mm is comfortably wide, allowing for clear note separation—ideal for fingerstyle playing.
Electronics: Equipped with Takamine’s TP-3G electronics, this guitar is stage-ready out of the box. The preamp system includes a 3-band EQ to shape your sound precisely and a built-in chromatic tuner, which is incredibly convenient for live performances and ensures you're always in tune. The electronics are designed to capture the natural acoustic sound of the guitar and amplify it faithfully.
Additional Features:
- Body Shape: NEX, perfect for a full-bodied sound with excellent projection.
- Finish: Natural Satin, enhancing the natural beauty of the okoume wood.
- Electronics: TP-3G, providing excellent amplification with easy tone shaping.
- Case: Not included, but compatible with the GC-WN case for optimal protection and transport.
Overall: The Takamine GLN11E NS is an ideal choice for guitarists looking for a versatile, acoustic-electric guitar that offers a unique combination of playability, warm tonal characteristics, and reliable stage performance. Whether used for intimate acoustic sessions or amplified performances, this guitar delivers rich tones and comfortable playability, making it a valuable addition to any musician's collection.
