General

The 2013 G70 Series by Takamine represents a number of stylish instruments with elegant looks and a very high sound quality. Each guitar from the series is fitted with a solid top construction, deluxe hardware and components with first-class electronics. The GJ72CE-NAT is the Jumbo-model of the series and has a natural-coloured finish. It features a deep cutaway for better access to the highest frets. This guitar is the perfect combination of looks, sound and playability!

Takamine GJ72CE-NAT: First-Grade Materials

The body is made of flamed maple which doesn't only look great but gives the guitar a brighter sound as well. This is great, considering the GJ72CE produces a very deep, full tone by itself due to its large size. The top is made of solid spruce for maximal resonance and a rich sound. The slim, comfortable maple neck is fitted with a 20-fret rosewood fretboard with an elegant mother-of-pearl inlay at the twelfth fret. For optimal intonation and tone purity, the bridge saddle is split.

Fully Equipped Electronics

The GJ72CE also delivers great performances when amplified. This guitar is equipped with Takamine's elaborate TK-40D preamplifier. This preamp features volume control and a 3-band EQ that you can switch on and off. With the Mid Contour control you can boost the mid frequencies (400 Hz) for more punch and a rounder attack. The Notch Filter is ideal to search for the frequency that is causing unwanted feedback. You also have an auto-chromatic tuner with LED display at your disposal.

Takamine GJ72CE-NAT Electro-Acoustic Steel-String Guitar

Wrote the following about Takamine GJ72CE-NAT Electro-Acoustic Steel-String Guitar
De reden dat ik deze gitaar wilde aanschaffen was tweeledig: enerzijds had ik een week tevoren het twaalfsnarige model aanschaft als vervanging voor mijn James Neligan gitaar. Niet dat dit een slechte gitaar was, maar de Takamine kan qua toonprojectie, en helemaal door de ingebouwde Takamine voorversterker elektrisch versterkt net wat meer.

Tot nu toe had ik voor zessnarig akoestisch de Harley Benton Custom Line King, en ook dit is zeker geen slechte gitaar. Alleen begaf het Piëzo versterkingssysteem het al snel nadat ik die aanschafte. En de Takamine ingebouwde pickup heeft in tegenstelling tot het Piëzo systeem net meer regelbaarheid met treble, mid en bas-klanken in huis. Omdat het geluid van de elektrisch versterkte twaalfsnarige Jumbo mij al omverblies, was ik snel overtuigd dat de zessnarige versie voor zowel live als opnames net dat beetje meer in huis had qua veelzijdigheid.

Zoals in een andere review was vermeld had ik ook te maken met een gitaar die out of the box een behoorlijke hoge action had, maar gelukkig zoals in de tip vermeld vond ik een instructie op YouTube om de brugplaatjes te verwijderen. Het kwam ook goed uit om dit te doen omdat de voorgemonteerde 012 snarenset voor mijn vingers ook te zwaar aan voelden en heb er mijn favoriete akoestische Martin snaren op gezet (aanrader, ze hebben een hele mooie warme klank).

Hoewel het wel even vervanging van de snaren kostte, ben ik misschien daarom juist erg tevreden over deze Takamine gitaar. Het gebruik van de vervangbare brugplaatjes geeft aan dat dit merk goed heeft nagedacht over de diverse instelbaarheidsmogelijkheid van hun akoestische gitaren.

Wat mij ook al jaren aantrok in modellen van dit merk is dat de meeste een kop hebben waar wederom over nagedacht is voor praktisch nut: door de trapeziumvorm lopen de snaren van zowel zessnarige als twaalfsnarige modellen bijna recht van brug naar stemsleutels, en dit komt de stabiliteit van de stemming enorm ten goede. Kortom., zowel het zessnarige als twaalfsnarige model van de Takamine GJ72 zijn dikke aanraders voor zowel beginners als gevorderden.

Mooie gitaar. Prachtig afgewerkt.

Mooi warme gebalanceerde klank dank zij het massieve spar bovenblad en de esdoorn achter-en zijkanten. De es-doorn heeft ook een bloedmooie Tijger vlam. Hij is tevens super resonant en met een lange substain.

Ik hou nogal van gitaren met zeer lage actie en 'Out of the box' was die toch een beetje hoog naar mijn smaak. Maar Bij Takamine is dit zo opgelost. Even de snaren los en de brugkam eruit halen. Onder de kam zitten er afstandsplaatjes en als je die er van onder haalt zakt de actie van een 1,5 a 2mm.

Elektrisch heb ik hem nog niet getest, maar heb geen enkel twijfel dat dit ook het WOW effect enkel nog zal vergroten.

Concreet: een super gitaar voor net geen 500eur die niet moet onderdoen voor de grote merken waar je een veelvoud voor betaald.

Heb er achteraf ook nog voor 47-eur een hard case voor besteld.
