Takamine GN71CE BSB

Bought this for my son, He was blown away, this it his first proper guitar, The tonal and sound quality improvements were immediately apparent compared to his old Chord acoustic, The Build quality is really top notch, this guitar was recommended by his teacher and and other friends who play, I'm glad i took their advise!! well worth considering as a "next level" instrument

We bought this as a first proper guitar for our son. It's simply fantastic. The sound is clear, it's easy to play. Looks elegant and stylish. The young player loves it and can't stop playing

For the money this guitar is very well built. It looks fab, plays easily and sounds great plugged in. Acoustically it has a very balanced tone (better than my more expensive GN93ce). It is quite quiet when fingerpicked, but reasonably loud when strummed with a plectrum. The guitar is lightweight with a comfortable slim neck. Great for gigging.

The Takamine GN71CE has been serving me really well. I was torn between the GN71CE and the GN93CE, but in reality, there isn’t a huge difference in sound between the two, except when played unplugged. When both guitars are plugged in, the sound is almost identical. Since I only play through a pickup and never acoustic (“dry”), I decided on the GN71CE-especially because it was the only one available in a sunburst finish.
