A Takamine from the G50 Series: Elegance and Versatility for Everyday Use

Part of the G50 series, the GD51CE embodies Takamine's approach: offering inspiring, well-crafted, and versatile guitars made from selected materials to deliver solid acoustic performance. Within the range, it stands out with the sought-after combination of solid spruce and rosewood, complemented by electronics designed for amplified performances.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The Takamine GD51CE is aimed at advanced beginners, intermediate, and experienced guitarists seeking a reliable electro-acoustic folk guitar comfortable both with pick playing and fingerpicking. Its dreadnought body shape is particularly suited for pop, acoustic rock, folk, and vocal accompaniment, while the cutaway facilitates more melodic lines in the higher frets.

The Sound

The solid spruce top delivers clarity, precision, and excellent responsiveness: the sound "starts" quickly, with great definition on both pick and finger attacks. The rosewood back and sides enhance depth in the bass and add natural brightness, with a harmonic-rich spectrum and generous sustain. The dreadnought shape favors power and projection, making it an excellent choice for filling space without effort. When plugged in, the TP-4TD electronics allow quick balance adjustment via the 3-band equalizer, level adaptation through the gain control, and tuning accuracy thanks to the built-in tuner.
