Spruce up your sound

Super definition and note separation. That's exactly what you can expect from the solid spruce soundboard of the GD38CE. It boasts excellent top-end articulation to help your playing easily stand out in a mix. And as it's solid, you'll get a sound that only gets better over time - as the wood ages and moisture content reduces it'll only get mellower and more detailed.

Powerful dreadnought sounds

Enrich your playing. The GD38Ce's large dreadnought shape instils a superb low-end body to every note and chord, giving your music tonnes of presence when playing acoustically. And not only that, but you can expect plenty of volume too! So for those unplugged sessions, you'll easily be heard alongside other instruments or vocals.

That's not all though, because this Takamine takes things a step further with a cutaway shape to enhance your playing comfort. It gives your hand acres of space at the top of the fretboard, so you easily introduce high end notes - which are otherwise restricted on traditional guitars.

Excellent value starting point

Packed with premium glossy looks and developed tones, the GD38CE offers a high-class instrument at a much lower price point. Complete with integrated electronics and an accompanying gig bag, you'll be ready to take to the stage, studio or even guitar lessons straight away!

Perform or record with ease

The GD38CE makes it easy. It's equipped with Takamine's TP-3G preamp which replicates your natural tone with a genuine warmth and resonance. So, if you're plugged into a PA system to perform or a DAW to record, your audience will be treated to every detail of GD38CE's tonewoods.

Even better, with an integrated, easy to read chromatic tuner, handy notch filter and straightforward EQ, the TP-3G preamp makes performing a breeze. You can get tuned up in no time, and tweak the tone the suit your surroundings.
