KNOW YOUR SHAPE
The most popular body shape of the
past half century, the Dreadnought delivers a strong low end with
plenty of volume.
The Jumbo excels as a rhythm guitar - big, meaty chords, plenty of volume and out-standing balance.
This original Takamine body is a scaled-down Jumbo
at heart. The NEX has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully.
The FXC is very close to the traditional
Grand Concert pro-portions. Excellent feedback control
with a true and warm acoustic tone.
