Review: AMAZING DEAL - I bought a sunburst GD51CE and my brother loved it so much that he wanted one but he preferred the natural. So we ordered this one. It came with a very nice case and the stand for less than I paid for just my guitar. Takamine is an amazing guitar!!! The quality is exceptional and the action is incredibly low for super easy playability. We both changed the strings the first day we had them and the sound is incredible. He uses Martin 7100 on his and I use the new D'addario NB1253 for a more mellow sound. But you can drop it a half step or full step with no problem at all. I have since bought the 12 string version of this guitar and it is equally as amazing. I didn't change the strings on it. It sounded and played incredible out of the box. So 3 Takamine guitars in two weeks from 3 different vendors and all perfect out of the box. I AM IMPRESSED!!! NO SET UP WORK AT ALL NEEDED ON ANY OF THE THREE!!!! I now have 28 guitars so don't really need anymore but if I ever do, you can bet it will be a Takamine without a doubt. We have a 3 Martin 6 strings, a Martin 12 string, an all Mahagony Zager, a Taylor and a really nice Ibanez, as well as an Ovation 12 string. All acoustic/electrics and both of our preferences is to play the Takamines. They are that good!!!! And 1/2 to 2/3 cheaper than the others. Review: Awesome Guitar - A great addition to my slowly growing collection. Sounded great right out of the box. Action right where it needed to be. Slight buzz on the 'B' string, on the higher frets, cleared up with a set of Elixer nanoweb strings. The case is nice and sturdy, and the stand was a plus as well. Fit and finish seem to be flawless as well. Has a deeper sound than my Ibanez A5 artist series. Has more of a 'C' contoured neck. All in all, a great mid-level guitar. I am not disappointed in the least with this guitar. The onboard electronics are a plus especially with the tuner. Only problem I have now is to decide which guitar to use for an alternate tunning! ## Features - Bracing: Quartersawn "X" - Fingerboard Radius: 12" (305 mm) - String Nut: Synthetic Bone - Position Inlays: Mother-of-Pearl Dot - Special Electronics: Takamine TP-4TD Preamp with Built-In Tuner ## Product Details - **Brand:** Takamine - **Color:** Natural - **Top Material Type:** Mahogany Wood, Spruce Wood - **Body Material:** Mahogany, Walnut, Laurel - **Back Material Type:** Walnut Wood, Mahogany Wood - **Neck Material Type:** Mahogany - **Fretboard Material Type:** Laurel Wood - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Number of Strings:** 6 - **Product Dimensions:** 9"L x 20"W x 48"H ## Images ![GD51CE-NAT GLS TP4-TD Acoustic Electric Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KGpexryfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING DEAL *by T***L on May 9, 2016* I bought a sunburst GD51CE and my brother loved it so much that he wanted one but he preferred the natural.
