Each and every one of the leading luthiers can name their contribution to the guitar industry, and in Takamine's case, it's the integrated preamp and EQ. That was the innovation that made acoustic-electric guitars possible, so it's no surprise that you'll find a lot of those in this section. And there are plenty of straight-up acoustic Takamine guitars as well, so no matter what you're looking for, you should be able to find it here. With instruments for all budgets and skill levels, Takamine is a great example of just how much variety can come from a single manufacturer.
If you're interested in joining the ranks of Toby Keith, Bon Jovi and all the other artists who play a Takamine guitar, there's no time like the present to make it happen! For beginners and hobbyists in need of an affordable option, the G Series GD20 Dreadnought Solid Top Acoustic Guitar is a fantastic starting point. Designed for rich tone and above-average playability, this big guitar handles intricate picking and full, strummed chords with equal ease.

In fact, you can expect this high level of craftsmanship from anything in Takamine's pro series, including the Pro Series 7 Dreadnought, which comes in standard and cutaway body styles to give you the choice between increased range and tone depth.
