Takamine GD93CE NAT acoustic

Takamine GD93CE-NAT G-Series G90 Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar in Natural Finish

The GD93CE-NAT sits solidly in your lap with excellent balance, and the cutaway body gives your fretting hand genuine access to the upper register without sacrificing the resonant depth of a full dreadnought. This instrument's honest wear on the natural finish reflects years of reliable studio and session performance rather than any compromise in tone or playability. Built for recording sessions and serious production work that demands electronics and ergonomics without compromise, this guitar delivers the clarity and sustain Takamine is known for at a used-market price that makes real sense for budget-conscious studios.

Construction & Tone

A solid spruce top with quartersawn X-bracing sits atop a three-piece rosewood back with quilt maple center and rosewood sides, creating the resonant, articulate character that defines the G90 series and translates beautifully to both close-miked and blended recordings. Mahogany neck construction and a rosewood fingerboard with 12" radius provide the stability and intonation consistency essential for layered tracking and overdubs, while the 20-fret design and 25.4" scale deliver both range and familiar fingering patterns across multiple sessions.

Electronics & Recording Integration

The Takamine TK-40D preamp onboard includes a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, gain controls, mid contour switch, notch filter, and EQ bypass—shaping tools that let you dial in tone directly at the source or refine the signal path during tracking and mixing. The dreadnought cutaway body measures 41.0 × 16.2 × 4.8 inches and weighs 4.6–4.9 lbs, making it comfortable through long sessions and easy to position with microphones for optimal capture.
