Takamine G Series Taka-Mini GP3HSE NS Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Natural Satin)

The GP3HSE is a travel-sized dreadnought guitar that comes with a cool twist. Small guitars that sound big are always amazing... small guitars are also great at 'Nashville tuning', a process where the lowest four strings are replaced with octave-up strings (like the high octave strings in a 12-string set). This creates a light, shimmering sound that is totally wonderful in a mix. Much of the sound of Southern California seventies folk rock slyly places this sound as a glossy textural element; you hear the strumming, but it doesn't crowd the vocal performances at all. Think of it as a twelve-string sound without the bulk of frequencies—just pure musical magic. The gold hardware with amber pearloid buttons looks simply elegant.

Of course, bringing the GP3HSE to the stage is a simple task with the built-in TP-3G electronics, featuring 3-band eq, volume control, and a chromatic tuner. The tone is TakaMini gold!
