Overview
Tight spaces and short reaches are the case for a three-quarter size guitar like this Takamine GX18CE. Nylon strings run over a spruce top and mahogany body, with an onboard preamp and tuner for amplified use.
Takamine describes a small guitar with a full-size voice, built with custom bracing on a scaled-down version of its NEX body style. Electronics and a gig bag make it ready to play out. The warranty is brief, and scale length and nut width are not listed.
Who it's for
Smaller players, frequent travelers and anyone who wants a nylon-string they can amplify without a big body. Those who want a full-length scale, or longer warranty cover, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact three-quarter body
- Piezo pickup with tuner preamp
- Gig bag included
- Mahogany back, sides and neck
- Warranty limited to thirty days
- Scale length and nut width not listed
- Description names a different model code
Performance notes
Custom bracing and a scaled-down body shape are meant to give a bigger voice than the size suggests. The piezoelectric pickup and tuner preamp handle the amplified side, and nylon strings set the touch and tone.
