Complementary tonewoods lend a sweet, pleasing tone





When a manufacturer sets out to create a new acoustic model, tonewoods are a major point of discussion. Tonewoods give the instrument its unique timbre and tonal profile, so it's important to choose complementary woods. Takamine chose to use black walnut for the back and sides of the GC-6CE. This tonewood is known for its balanced resonance and bell-like quality. A solid spruce top is joined to the body to add projection and a textured attack. Thanks to this potent pairing of tonewoods, the GC-6CE produces an incredibly pleasing tone. You'll find that this guitar is a perfect fit for gentle lullabies and challenging classical pieces alike ? the choice is yours!
