Extremely comfortable to play (especially for smaller players) the NEX body style brings a silky balance to a guitar's tone that lends itself especially well to vocal accompaniment.

Solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides are a magical tonewood combination
Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the GN20-NS, Takamine chose a solid cedar top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid cedar has an articulate and mellow sound with excellent projection. It's a great balance for the full sound of the mahogany back and sides. And because it's a solid-topped instrument, the tone of your GN20-NS will only get better with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.
