Full Description

Unique in shape, distinctive in sound

Once you start playing on the GN20's NEX body shape, you'll want to cherish it forever. This innovative design is exclusive to Takamine and grants you a silky-smooth tone with wonderful versatility. Similar to the grand auditorium, the NEX is perfect for players who desire a supremely bold tone with all that organic acoustic goodness flowing through every note. And you can achieve such magical sound whilst having comfortable playability at your fingertips. Thanks to the nipped-in waist and scaled down dimensions, the NEX offers an effortless, flawless performance, every time.

Quality in every detail

...even in the nuances of its sound. A solid cedar top emanates the kind of tonal beauty that fingerstyle players need, granting you a dark tone with exceptionally rich overtones. It oozes character and richness. What more could you want in an acoustic? Well, maybe you desire some extra resonance and warmth. That is exactly what the mahogany back and sides provide. Thanks to mahogany's beautiful tonal balance and emphasised midrange, you'll have excellence with everything you play. Versatility. Right at your fingertips.

Other premium-quality details include the split-saddle design on the ovangkol bridge, allowing for pristine intonation that teams perfectly with the richness and character of cedar. A lusciously smooth ovangkol fingerboard then lends itself to seamless fretting, whilst pearloid dot inlays and chrome hardware provide dazzling finishing touches. It's all there. In one stunning instrument.
