help Takamine GD30 FAQ

Is the Takamine GD30 made with solid wood?

The top is solid spruce, while the mahogany back and sides are laminated rather than all-solid. That combination provides a solid soundboard without the price and environmental sensitivity of an all-solid guitar.

What is the difference between the Takamine GD30 and GD30CE?

The GD30 is the straightforward dreadnought acoustic, while the GD30CE adds a Venetian cutaway and onboard electronics. The GD30CE uses Takamine's TP-4TD preamp with a tuner, gain control and three-band EQ.

Is the Takamine GD30 suitable for strumming or fingerstyle?

Its dreadnought body and solid spruce top give it enough projection for flatpicking and rhythm strumming. Fingerstyle is possible, although players wanting a smaller waist and more balanced response may prefer Takamine's orchestra-style GN30.

What strings should I use on a Takamine GD30?

Standard light-gauge phosphor-bronze acoustic strings are a common starting point for this six-string dreadnought. Changing to substantially heavier strings may require adjustments to the truss rod, action or nut.
