You Won't Want to Put This One Down!
Want a classical guitar that turns heads with its good looks and impressive tone? Sweetwater recommends that you check out the Takamine GC-6CE! This nylon-string classical guitar was designed with the player in mind. Every single design decision was carefully considered to deliver the most comprehensive playing experience possible. The body has a solid spruce top with walnut back and sides that create a well-balanced tone and bell-like ring. It has an oval-shaped soundhole that sculpts the airwaves as they leave the body, and for plugged-in performances, Takamine electronics reproduce the natural acoustic character of the instrument. The Takamine GC-6CE is the type of guitar that is easy to pick up and incredibly hard to put down.
Complimentary 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!
Takamine electronics create a memorable plugged-in tone
When it's time to take your new acoustic to the stage, you'll be relying on the same pickup and preamp system that has helped world-class entertainers reach fans around the world. Its under-saddle pickup employs a proprietary Takamine design, which passes an incredibly open and natural tone. The onboard preamp offers a 3-band equalizer and an onboard tuner with the ability to calibrate its frequency. These electronics make a potent pair that will sound great at any gig.
