If you already play 12-string and you know what you are looking for, the Takamine GD37CE-12 PW is going to get your attention. The solid spruce top is the thing that separates this guitar from the laminate-top 12-strings that crowd this price range. Solid tops respond differently. They have more dynamic range, more complexity in the overtones, and they get better as they get played in. 

The ovangkol back and sides are the other piece of the story here. Ovangkol is a dense, dark-grained wood that splits the difference between rosewood and mahogany tonally. It adds depth and sustain without the brightness becoming harsh, which matters on a 12-string where there is already a lot going on acoustically. The pearl white finish is striking on stage and holds up well over time.

Takamine's CT4B II preamp gives you real tone-shaping control when you plug in. Three-band EQ, clean output, and enough flexibility to dial in your sound whether you are running into a PA, an acoustic amp, or a direct box. This is a guitar serious players will not outgrow.

Come into our Charleston WV store or our New Albany Ohio showroom and play this one if you can. A 12-string at this level is worth hearing in person. Order online with in-store pickup if you are ready, and Affirm installment financing is available at checkout so you can spread out the investment.

The Pied Piper has been family owned since 1967. We check every instrument before it ships or goes out for pickup, and we have trusted service people in Ohio and West Virginia for anything you need after the sale.
