The G Series GF49CE is an outstanding flashback to Takamine's ‘80s-era heritage! This guitar is totally awesome in its Cosmic Black Sparkle finish and classic red binding. Beneath the distinctive colors lives a great FX-sized cutaway with a spruce top and sapele back and sides. This combination gives the guitar tremendous warmth and volume that belies its compact size. The neck is sleek, and it showcases Takamine's legendary playability. Of course, it might get loud… a task easily accomplished when you plug it in, using its built-in TP-3G electronics. Turn it up!
