Product information "Takamine GJ72CE 12 string Folk Guitar Sunburst"

With its massive jumbo body, massive top, breathtaking visual features and high-quality electronics, the GJ72CE-12S is a 12-string guitar that sounds at least as convincing "acoustic" as "electronic" when amplified. The solid spruce top and the back and sides made of Flamed Maple give the GJ72CE-12S a big and assertive sound, which simply belongs to a 12-string jumbo. The slim mahogany neck and the 12" fingerboard with binding contribute significantly to the positive playing feel. The onboard Takamine TK-40D preamp system includes a tuner, 3-band EQ, level controls, MID CONTOUR switch, a notch filter, and an EQ BYPASS switch. This gives you a flexible live setup. Other features include the split bridge inlay, the chic headstock veneer, the abalone rosette, the "inverted mountain" inlay on the 12th fret, gold-plated cast-iron mechanisms with pearl buttons and the beautiful high-gloss finish. The finishes are offered in natural and sunburst.

Manufacturer "Takamine"

The fact that Takamine guitars probably have the best reputation of all Japanese manufacturers is not least due to international superstars such as Bruce Springsteen, the Eagles or Jon Bon Jovi, who have been playing these noble and roadworthy instruments on stages around the world for many years.

The name Takamine has meanwhile become an integral part of the ranks of upper-class western guitars, but it all began in 1959 with a small guitar shop in the shadow of Mount Takamine in central Japan. The small family business began building classical guitars and mandolins under its current name in 1962. Classical guitar maker Masse Hirade began making significant improvements in design and production methods when they joined the company in 1968, and within the next ten years helped Takamine Guitars gain an international reputation as one of the leading Far Eastern instrument manufacturers. The Hirade Takamine Series of high-quality, master-class classical guitars was later named after him.

Unlike other Asian companies, Takamine did not limit itself to copying successful ideas from Western manufacturers, but over the years has developed independent and sometimes groundbreaking concepts, such as the Cool Tube Pickup for acoustic guitars (acoustic guitars) or the use of laser technology for inlays. And bass players will also get their money's worth with the bass guitars from the Japanese manufacturer.

Takamine now produces its cheaper guitar models in China and South Korea. The legendary limited editions, which have been released annually since 1987, are still made in Japan and inspire guitarists around the world with their fantastic sound and first-class craftsmanship that made Takamine great.
