Takamine GP3HSE Travel-Size Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural Satin

This Takamine GP3HSE is a travel-size dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar in a natural satin finish, made with a solid spruce top and sapele back and sides.

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 look 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 Taka-Mini gold!

This is a dreadnought outline shrunk to travel size on a short 570 mm scale, small enough to take anywhere. Plugged in, the onboard Takamine TP-3G preamp provides three-band EQ, a volume control and a built-in chromatic tuner.
