Like its high-end cousin the EF381SC, this impressive black dreadnought cutaway 12-string G Series model delivers a similar look, feel and sound at a budget friendly price point.

The Takamine GD38CE-BLK 12-String Acoustic/Electric Guitar delivers the massive, shimmering sound that only a great 12-string can provide—wrapped in a sleek, stage-ready black finish. Built for players who want bold acoustic presence with reliable plugged-in performance, the GD38CE-BLK combines classic dreadnought power with modern Takamine electronics and effortless playability.

Its solid spruce top provides clarity and projection, while mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth—perfect for strummed rhythms, layered textures, and ringing arpeggios. A comfortable cutaway design ensures easy access to upper frets, and Takamine’s onboard electronics make this 12-string equally at home on stage, in rehearsal, or in the studio.
