"Takamine Jumbo 12-string"
Verified Customer

The GJ2CE is a surprise... right from the get go. Fit and finish is flawless, the sound is everything you could want and more. Setup is spot on. It plays like butter. It's my first Takamine, and I can say it will not be my last.
Sound
The GJ2CE has the full bodied, chiming ring, you would expect from a 12-string, (unpluged). But, the minute you plug in, the GJ2CE explodes into full voice, rich full lows, solid mids, and full shimmering ringing highs. The sound is extremely sensitive to your picking attack, from subtle, to booming in your face, and everything in between. The sound quality is that of a guitar 3 to 4 times the price.
Features
There really isn't anything superfluous, feature wise, on the GJ2CE. It is well and efficiently designed. The spruce and flame maple used in construction are, not only beautiful, but a great choice of tone wood. All of which, contribute to its gorgeous appearance and sound.
Ease of Use
Getting great sound was easy as, unboxing, tuning and playing it. I cannot describe the feeling, when I plugged it in. Everything I expect from a 12-string, was there and so much more.
Quality
The GJ2CE's build is flawless. This will turn heads. I look forward to unleashing its voice on stage.
Value
The GJ2CE is more than worth its price. It is a solid value, a true bargain.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed to consult Takamine.
The Wow Factor
The GJ2CE is a beautiful guitar. But its sound is what I love. There is something about an acoustic 12-string that simply stirs my soul.

I was hesitant about purchasing a guitar that I have never tested in store. After reading online reviews of acoustic electric 12 strings, I took a chance on this guitar. Very glad I did. The full body gives an amazingly rich sound. Very well balanced highs, mids, and lows. The setup out of the box was spot-on for me. It had a low action that is very comfortable for guys like me that play allot of electric guitar. Takamine has a reputation for making great acoustic guitars. They certainly didn't fall short here. The electronics are top-end with a built in tuner that works very well. Absolutely a great product.

Ordered this last month to replace a lousy Chinese Guild Jumbo 12. This guitar is perfect, playability, tone, looks, it's got it all... I highly recommend it if you're looking for a great 12 string to add to your arsenal.

I've had my new Takamine 12string for almost a month now, haven't put it down. Out of my 4 guitars, I must say it's my favorite, in every way. It's also an audience favorite. It sounds like nothing else. Thanks Takamine, and Thanks to zZounds for making it possible to make payments.

Sounds like nothing else I have, the electronics allows me to explore sounds and add to songs I love. It makes me a better musician. Thanks zZounds for making it possible.
Features
Takamine's electronics gives me many more options. I Adore That.
Ease of Use
Right out of the Box it blew me away.However, once plugged in to my Sound system (also from zZounds) I just couldn't put it down.
Quality
It looks and sounds awesome. I did have a problem with a wire somewhere, But it only took 1 phone call and zZounds is exchanging it. IT WAS JUST THAT SIMPLE, PROBLEM SOLVED.
Manufacturer Support
I didn't call Takamine, I called zZounds, they handled everything. Problem Solved
