Takamine GX18CE-NS Taka-mini review
A review of one of the more recent G-series offerings from Takamine. Designed as a small-bodied travel guitar, the Taka-mini is a serious contender in this arena and is also a great 'fun guitar' to have around for casual, 'always to hand' use. Solid spruce top with Sapele laminate back and sides result in decent tone and a rugged instrument capable of taking the knocks and bumps of travel.
Despite the relatively small body size, this guitar has a perfectly acceptable plugged in tone via the under saddle piezo pickup and TP-4T preamp.

Comparison between this guitar and Taylor's GS Mini: • Takamine Taka-mini vs. Taylor GS Mini
The guitar shown is a dealer-exclusive which was specially commissioned for the 50th anniversary of Singapore's independence - hence the crest on the pick guard. It is otherwise identical to the standard model.
This guitar was purchased by GLB Productions - this review was carried out independently and was not commissioned by Takamine Guitars.
