Overview
A piezo system with a built-in preamp feeds the stage sound of this Takamine NEX cutaway, built from a spruce top with quilted maple back and sides. A rosewood board on a maple neck carries oval pearloid inlays.
Maple back and sides give a bright, focused tone that cuts through a band, and the electronics are built for gigging. The look is bold, with a transparent black finish and patterned pickguard. Warranty coverage is only thirty days.
Who it's for
Worship leaders, cover band players and anyone who plugs in most nights get dependable electronics and a cutaway for higher frets. Players chasing a warm, dark unplugged sound should look at mahogany guitars.
Pros and cons
- Quilt maple back and sides

Performance notes
Maple reflects sound with less warmth than mahogany, giving a bright, articulate tone that records and amplifies cleanly. The onboard preamp shapes the plugged in sound, which is where this guitar is aimed.
