Takamine GN73CESB NEX CW Spruce/Maple Satin Black 2025 A/E Guitar No Bag/Case

The Takamine "NEX" series of mini-jumbo guitars is Takamine's most versatile do-it-all shape, and the maple-bodied GN73CESB in satin black brings its own unique sonic dimension to the GN family.

Maple guitars typically have a quick attack, crisp high end and strong projection, but are often considered less harmonically complex than other body woods. But the NEX-shaped GN73CE rounds out the tonal profile of the maple and provides a richer experience than an auditorium or concert sized guitar. It still has the attack and immediacy that you'd expect from maple, but the mini-jumbo shape provides excellent tonal balance for a full range sound that is both fulsome and detailed. The sensitivity and response of the GN73CE will satisfy finger-style players while strummers will appreciate its volume and room filling projection. 

Rounding out the GN73CE is Takamine's TP-3G 3-band electronics with built-in tuner. In the late 70's Takamine pioneered high-quality acoustic electronics and it's no surprise that superstars like Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Bruce Springsteen continue to use Takamine acoustics on stage.

The Takamine GN73CESB offers both eye-catching looks and unique voice that provides a compelling combination of projection, detail and dynamics.

In the words of Takamine:

This cool NEX cutaway guitar is a retro-inspired satin black machine that would look as at ease on a rock stage as it would in a speakeasy. Beneath its sleek exterior, the GN73CE's solid spruce top sonically reflects with authority off of the maple back and sides. This guitar gets bold and loud, but has no problem handling delicate passages with supreme articulation. Fitted with Takamine’s TP-3G preamp, the GN73CE takes to the stage with ease.
