What is the Takamine GN20-NS?
The Takamine GN20-NS is a professional-grade acoustic guitar featuring a solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides in the signature NEX body shape. Known for its warm, lush tone and Natural Satin finish, this "scaled-down jumbo" offers exceptional comfort and a balanced sound. It is a top choice for guitarists in the UAE seeking a responsive acoustic instrument for fingerstyle and vocal accompaniment. Available at Gigstore.
Lush Warmth & Ergonomic Design: Takamine GN20-NS NEX Acoustic
The Takamine GN20-NS is crafted for musicians who prioritize tonal character and playing comfort. Available at Gigstore, this G-Series model features the NEX body shape—a signature Takamine design that provides the volume of a jumbo guitar in a more compact, "waisted" form factor. By pairing a solid cedar top with mahogany back and sides, the GN20-NS delivers a rich, dark resonance that is exceptionally responsive to a light touch, making it ideal for delicate fingerstyle arrangements.
The Natural Satin finish enhances the guitar's organic beauty and allows the wood to vibrate freely, resulting in superior acoustic projection. Whether you are practicing in a Dubai studio or performing an unplugged set in Abu Dhabi, the GN20-NS offers a sophisticated, "broken-in" sound that beautifully supports a singer's voice without the need for onboard electronics.
Signature NEX Playability and Precision Engineering
The GN20-NS is built for effortless playability. The slim mahogany neck and 12-inch radius ovangkol fingerboard offer a smooth, fast feel, while the split-saddle bridge design ensures superior intonation. This engineering choice allows for more accurate note tracking across the entire fretboard, ensuring your chords sound sweet and harmonically aligned in any tuning.
- Solid Cedar Top: Produces a warm, lush tone with complex overtones that react immediately to player dynamics.
- Signature NEX Body: Offers the balanced sound of a Grand Auditorium with the ergonomic comfort of a smaller instrument.
- Mahogany Back and Sides: Provides a stable, woody tonal foundation with excellent mid-range clarity.
- Split-Saddle Bridge: Signature Takamine feature engineered for enhanced intonation and clarity across all six strings.
- Natural Satin Finish: Resists fingerprints and allows the guitar to resonate with maximum acoustic volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug the GN20-NS into an amplifier?
The GN20-NS is a purely acoustic model and does not feature a built-in preamp or pickup. For players who need to plug in, we recommend the GN20CE-NS version, which includes Takamine electronics.
What is the NEX body shape best for?
The NEX shape is highly versatile. It offers more comfort than a dreadnought while retaining plenty of volume, making it an excellent choice for players who find larger guitars cumbersome to hold.
Does cedar require special care in the UAE?
Yes, cedar is a softer wood than spruce and can be sensitive to extreme humidity changes. We highly recommend using an in-case humidifier and storing the guitar in a padded gig bag to protect it from the UAE climate.
