Takamine GC6CEBLK Classical Cutaway Black

Manufacturer Part #:  GC6CEBLK
Features

The Takamine GC6CEBLK is a popular acoustic-electric classical guitar from Takamine's G Series, known for offering quality craftsmanship and reliable electronics at a great value. The "BLK" in the model name signifies its distinctive Gloss Black finish.

Here are the key features of the Takamine GC6CEBLK:

  • Body:

    • Body Shape: Classical with a Cutaway. The cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets, which is beneficial for lead playing or more complex classical pieces.

    • Top Wood: Solid Spruce. Spruce is a highly resonant tonewood that offers excellent projection, clarity, and a wide dynamic range, improving with age.

    • Back & Sides Wood: Black Walnut (often referred to simply as Walnut). This tonewood is known for its balanced resonance, offering a clear bass, strong mids, and bright highs, often compared to rosewood in its tonal characteristics.

    • Soundhole: Features a distinctive oval soundhole, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but can also influence its sonic character.

    • Finish: Gloss Black, providing a sleek, modern, and elegant look.

  • Neck & Fingerboard:

    • Neck Material: Mahogany, known for its stability and contribution to warm, rich tones.

    • Fingerboard Material: Laurel or Indian Laurel (sometimes Ovangkol in some variations/regions). This material offers a smooth playing surface.

    • Nut Width: 51mm (2 inches), which is a standard wider nut width for classical guitars, providing ample string spacing for fingerstyle playing.

    • Scale Length: 650mm (approximately 25.59 inches), a typical full-size classical guitar scale length.

    • Frets: 20 frets.

  • Electronics:

    • Preamp System: Equipped with Takamine's TP-4T Preamp (or equivalent). This is a reliable onboard system designed for stage amplification.

    • Features: The TP-4T typically includes a 3-band equalizer (Bass, Mid, Treble) for tone shaping, a gain control, and a built-in chromatic tuner. This makes the guitar stage-ready right out of the box, ensuring the acoustic sound is accurately amplified.

    • Pickup: Under-saddle piezo pickup.

  • Hardware:

    • Tuning Machines: Open-gear classical tuners (often with white or amber buttons), providing a traditional look and reliable tuning stability.

    • Bridge: Laurel or Rosewood bridge.

    • Nut & Saddle: Synthetic Bone nut and saddle for enhanced sustain and clarity.

  • Other Features:

    • String Type: Nylon strings (commonly D'Addario Pro Arte).

    • Case/Gig Bag: Typically, the Takamine GC6CEBLK is sold separately from a case or gig bag.

The Takamine GC6CEBLK is an excellent choice for classical guitarists, students, or acoustic players looking for a versatile nylon-string instrument that performs well both acoustically and when plugged in, all while offering a distinctive look with its black finish and oval soundhole.
