A 12-string That Pays Homage to Its Heritage The Takamine GD74CE is a 12-string acoustic-electric workhorse built with heritage and honor at the forefront of its design. Crafted as a guitar for popular, regional Mexican music styles, the GD74CE's dreadnought body shape has a spruce top that gives your sound forceful projection while making strings dynamic and touch-sensitive, allowing for fluid transitions from heavy strums to fingerpicked melodies. Maple back and sides support spruce's power with rich midrange harmonies and a quick, articulate response, while the GD74CE's strong maple neck and laurel fingerboard lend great comfort and support for long sessions. The GD74CE, designed to be strung in unison, also features a double X-bracing pattern to support the tension of the 12-string setup and timeless appointments, including elegant binding, gold tuners with pearloid buttons, and a wood-inlaid rosette, a true work of art composed of style and substance.Classic dreadnought body
