Boutique Design & Powerful Projection: Takamine GD93-NAT Dreadnought
The Takamine GD93-NAT is engineered for guitarists who demand a professional acoustic presence and a distinctive aesthetic. Available at Gigstore, this model utilizes a solid spruce top, a tonewood celebrated for its bright, articulate projection and wide dynamic range. Whether you are performing unplugged in a Dubai studio or practicing at home in Abu Dhabi, the GD93-NAT provides the professional volume and structural integrity required for serious music-making.
The standout feature of this instrument is its exotic three-piece back, which combines black walnut with a center strip of quilted maple. This pairing, along with black walnut sides, produces a warm, focused tone with plenty of low-end depth. The Natural Gloss finish protects the wood and enhances the visual contrast of the premium tonewoods, while the maple binding adds a final touch of class.
Signature Craftsmanship and Enhanced Intonation
As part of Takamine’s high-end G90 series, this guitar is built to exceptional standards. A key technical feature is the split-saddle bridge design, which provides superior intonation for sweeter-sounding chords and accurate note tracking across the entire fingerboard. The slim mahogany neck and 12-inch radius laurel fingerboard ensure a comfortable, fast playing experience, making it an ideal instrument for both aggressive strumming and delicate flatpicking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a three-piece back?
Beyond the stunning visual appeal, a three-piece back provides a unique structural rigidity that can offer a more focused and punchy tonal response compared to traditional two-piece designs.
Is this guitar suitable for lead playing?
While dreadnoughts are famous for strumming, the GD93 features a slim neck profile and excellent intonation, making it a very capable instrument for flatpicking and lead lines.
How do I protect the gloss finish in the UAE climate?
We recommend using a microfiber cloth to wipe down the guitar after use and keeping it in a padded gig bag or hardshell case with a humidifier to prevent the wood from drying out in low-humidity environments.
