This all-sapele Cutaway NEX sized Takamine is great for acoustic blues, fingerstyle, or roots music. 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 low gloss natural satin finish adds a great old-school vibe to the instrument. Like all Takamine guitars, the transition to the stage is made effortless with the addition of Takamine’s own TP-4T electronics, complete with an equalizer and chromatic tuner built-in.
