Takamine Guitar GD11M

Classic Tone in an Affordable Package

The Takamine GD11M Acoustic Guitar is an entry-level dreadnought from Takamine’s G Series, designed for beginners and intermediate players seeking a reliable instrument with warm, balanced tone. Featuring all-mahogany construction and a slim neck profile, it’s ideal for folk, blues, and strumming styles, offering excellent value for musicians across Australia. Available in Natural Satin finish, it delivers an authentic, familiar sound reminiscent of vintage acoustics.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The GD11M’s all-mahogany body produces a rich, resonant tone with warmth and punch, suitable for strumming, picking, or fingerstyle playing. The quartersawn X bracing enhances projection and clarity, making it versatile for various genres. Users praise its earthy, authentic sound that evokes old-school recordings, with a balanced response that performs well for both beginners and experienced players. The lack of electronics keeps it purely acoustic, but the GD11MCE variant adds a cutaway and Takamine TP-4T preamp for amplified performance.

Durable Design with Comfortable Playability

Crafted with attention to detail, the GD11M features a slim satin-finish mahogany neck for easy playability, especially for smaller hands. The laurel fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays adds a classic touch, while the synthetic bone nut and compensated saddle ensure accurate intonation. The chrome diecast tuners provide stable tuning, and the natural satin finish enhances the mahogany’s grain for a timeless aesthetic. Weighing approximately 2.0–2.2 kg, it’s lightweight and comfortable for long sessions.
