Tough Tak
Tak’s have long been the music industry work horses; you can gig with them night after night and they still keep working. Have a 90’s Japan-made G Series model w/ mahogany back/sides. Despite a humped neck and wear issues it still delivers. Got this GD51 as an Amazon warehouse deal, open box, minimal use, sold as-is but you have thirty days to decide whether it works for you. After unpacking my guitar tech checked it out- action, intonation, neck, and finish details were all great. Even the frets are level, smooth, without sharp edges. Tuner and pickup work great. Compared this model with the Tak GN93 CE cutaway; the GD 51’s got better lower end both plugged/unplugged and its sounhole inlays are just as nice. The GD 51’s mystery Chinese spruce top and rosewood back and sides are no match for high end American-made dreadnaughts, but when plugged in the Tak holds its own with plenty of rosewood fullness and spruce top clarity. Recommend using a tie end shoulder strap at the nut; the GD 51 comes with a strap button located on the 3 peice neck heel joint, but this creates head stock dive. This one’s a keeper...

Great guitar, not too expensive but sounds awesome, built in tuner, electronics and nice punch.
Guitar sounds great, excellent resonance, comfortable to play, great value for the money.

Sounds great
Only had to adjust the neck a bit, but it sounds great. I recommend it. Now I have no excuses of how bad I play. lol

Great value for money
Title says it all. This is really great value for money. Solid Spruce with Rosewood - almost perfect (solid Rosewood would make it perfect!!!). Nice balanced tone. Seems to keep tune. Really comfortable neck. 1 downfall is the pick up. I am not a fan of these cheaper Takamine pick up. I have seen a few with broken 9 volt battery cover.... mine is good. The pick up is average in my opinion, but it,s a piezo.... they are all horrible!!! If you turn the EQ down, it sounds better!! But still 5 stars for value.

Great sound, low action - amazing guitar!
I love this guitar! As a guitar player for the last 20 years I've owned Washburn, Yamaha, Takamine and Alvarez 6 and 12 string guitars. The Takamine GD51-CE has a great balanced sound. My previous acoustic was a Yamaha FG700s which lacked the punch in the bass end that the rosewood back and sides from the Takamine provides. The action was a hair over 2/32" out of the box. I played many different guitars before choosing this guitar, I knew from the first few chords I played on this guitar that this was the one! The binding and rosette finish the guitar off perfectly. I've had it plugged in, it sound great through the TP-4TD pre-amp system too. Also onboard is a tuner which works great.The only issue with this guitar is availability. Online there are only a few places to order this, I managed to play it at a local shop, The Guitar Factory and bought it from there.
