Takamine GN77KCENAT NEX Koa Natural Acoustic-Electric Guitar - No Bag/Case

The Takamine GN77KCENAT brings together the natural beauty of Koa with Takamine’s versatile NEX mini-jumbo shape for a rich mix of detail, warmth, and dynamic response. Add in the high-quality TP-4T electronics, and the GN77 becomes an easy choice for songwriters and performers alike.

Beyond its striking looks, Koa has a voice all its own. It has a clear, articulate top end, and its hardness makes it especially responsive to touch. It shines with fingerpicking and lighter playing styles, where its nuance in the mids and highs really comes through. More of a singer-songwriter guitar than a heavy strummer, the GN77 is a great fit for players who want texture and detail, not just sheer volume. And like any solid-wood guitar, Koa will continue to open up and develop over time.

Takamine’s NEX shape is a great match for Koa’s character. It takes the proportions of a jumbo and scales them down closer to dreadnought dimensions, giving you a strong low-end response without the extra bulk. The slimmer waist and smaller upper bout help add sparkle and definition while keeping the mids from getting too boomy. Where Koa can sometimes sound a little thin in a smaller concert or folk body, the mini-jumbo design fills things out with warmth and depth while still letting all that Koa detail shine through.

The GN77 takes Koa’s naturally detailed, articulate voice and gives it more depth and presence through the NEX mini-jumbo body. If you like nuance and clarity but still want enough volume to hold the room, this is a really solid choice.

This beautiful Hawaiian Koa Takamine sounds as great as it looks. This guitar is equally at home with fingerstyle or bold strumming.
