Small Jumbo, Big Versatility

Get jumbo sound from Takamine's GN30 acoustic guitar. This small-bodied jumbo delivers the warm, resonant tones you want in a guitar that isn't too big. The GN30 sports a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides for classic acoustic sounds. Takamine's split-saddle design and bridge deliver superior intonation. The spruce top responds beautifully to a light, fingerstyle touch, yet will sing with authority when strummed boldly. If you're in the market for a versatile, comfortable, great-sounding acoustic, check out Takamine's GN30.

Great sound is in the details

The Takamine GN30 acoustic guitar benefits from premium tonewoods and Takamine's painstaking attention to detail. With its high-grade, solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the GN30 looks great and is tonally versatile enough to handle whatever playing style your musical mood dictates.

Takamine - 50 years of quality, great sound, and playability

The Takamine GN30 acoustic guitar benefits from a half-century of Takamine guitar-crafting knowhow. Launched in 1962 at the foot of Japan's Takamine mountains, Takamine has been designing and building acoustic guitars that are seen in the hands of some of music's biggest stars. With quality and value as guiding principles, Takamine's instruments employ the finest tonewoods, construction techniques, and technical innovations.

Takamine GN30 Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Comfortable NEX small jumbo body style
  • Solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides for rich, balanced tone
  • Split-saddle design and bridge deliver superior intonation
  • Rosewood bridge and fingerboard
  • Chrome tuners; abalone rosette; dot inlays

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
