collapse expand iconDescription

The Taka-"mini" GX18CE-NS is a 3/4-size guitar with a full-size voice. Featuring custom-designed bracing, a solid spruce top in a scaled down version of the famous Takamine NEX body style, this very worthy instrument will win your playing time. Mahogany back and sides, rosewood fingerboard and TP4T preamp with tuner round out this very cool guitar.

NEX Body
This original Takamine body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart. The NEX has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully.

    Exceptional value. Plays like a an electric. I have owned a Takamine EF360 since the late 80's and and extremely impressed with the consistency of the Takamine standard of quality, which has improved and is reflected in this beautiful instrument. This baby is impossible to set down. It stays in tune extremely well, even with lots of soul bending blues played on it. And yes, it sounds like a million bucks through an amp Ok. Honestly, I actually fell in love.

  • I would recommend this guitar to anyone.

    i love the size and feel of this guitar. after a month or so i found it's best to use this for soft strumming, it sounds great. don't know about picking', but it gets jumbled when pushed too hard. can't sit down without it. btw, the packaging from the factory was unbelievably secure.

    I’m very sorry, the manufacturer has not made that information available. Presently I don't have one to check. A 3/4 scale is typically 22.5" in scale and 17" in length. The width will be below 13.5" and about 4" deep.

    Could you please provide the scale length of this guitar? Can't find it anywhere - even on the Takamine website. Thanks
