NEX body combines performance and playability
A proprietary body shape developed by Takamine, the NEX body style is essentially a scaled-down jumbo. 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. The NEX body style, while small, will provide you with full-sized sound whether you're onstage or unplugged.
Takamine's TP4T preamp system provides rich and natural sound
The GN20CE-NS utilizes Takamine's TP4T preamp, giving you rich, clear-sounding amplified output - instantly. A full-featured preamp system, the GN20CE-NS's TP4T electronics provide you with a handy onboard tuner plus an active shelving EQ with bass, middle, and treble sliders. It also sports a low battery indicator, which is actually even more useful than you might think. And since the preamp is switched on by and off by plugging in and unplugging your GN20CE-NS, it's hard to accidentally drain the 9-volt battery.
Takamine produces guitars of amazing quality, sound, and playability
The Takamine GN20CE-NS acoustic-electric 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, including Glenn Frey, Bruce Springsteen, Bruno Mars, and Toby Keith. With quality and value as guiding principles, Takamine's instruments employ the finest tonewoods and construction techniques - something you'll discover for yourself as soon as you pick up your GN20CE-NS for the first time.
