Description
Takamine GX31CE NS Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Takamine GX31CE NS is a compact cutaway acoustic-electric engineered for studio tracking and live monitoring. Its 22.4" scale length and NEX body shape sit comfortably during long recording sessions while delivering the projection and articulation needed to cut through a mix. The solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides produce a balanced, responsive voice that translates equally well to fingerstyle arrangements, strumming textures, and amplified performance.
Tone & Electronics
A solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides captures clear highs and warm mids with excellent sustain—ideal for capturing nuanced acoustic performances in any recording chain. The onboard Takamine TP-3G preamp with 3-band EQ, volume control, and built-in chromatic tuner lets you shape your direct signal without leaving the tracking suite or reaching for external processing.
Design & Build
The NEX cutaway body eliminates upper-fret access limitations when overdubbing lead lines or harmonies, while multi-binding on front and back reinforces structural integrity for years of studio use. Gold hardware paired with the Natural Satin finish resists corrosion and keeps your signal path clean and reliable.
