Get to know them!





Get massive tone and projection from Takamine's GN77KCE acoustic-electric guitar. With its scaled-down jumbo body, you can already expect the GN77KCE guitar to deliver full-bodied lows and plenty of volume. Add to that the mid-focused chime from the laminated koa construction, and you'll fill the air with gorgeous tone. What's more, Takamine outfitted this guitar with their proprietary preamp and pickup system, so you'll get warm, natural sound when you plug in your Takamine GN77KCE.





Beautiful koa throughout





With its jumbo body style, the Takamine GN77KCE is nothing short of a sound cannon. The guitar's laminated koa back and sides add glittering highs and a pinpointed mid presence to the instrument to keep the larger body from being too boomy. Not to mention, its golden hues and understated figure look absolutely gorgeous. When it comes to getting rich and brilliant looks and tone at a great value, you couldn't ask for any more than this.

Over half a century committed to quality, playability, and wonderful sound
