Enter for a Chance to Win TWO Amazing Takamine Guitars

You read it correctly… one lucky member of the Takamine USA Community is going to win not one but TWO outstanding, value-packed G Series guitars with the 6-string GD35CE and the 12-string GD35CE-12, both in gleaming Pearl White finish. But these are much more than great-looking guitars. They employ a solid spruce top and maple back and sides to help generate a shimmering, punchy, bold sound, great for everything from pop and rock to folk, worship music, regional Mexican genres, and more. When it’s time to get onstage or record direct, the GD35CE and GD35CE-12 come fitted with our legendary TP-3G electronics to make live performance easy. You also get a sturdy gig bag for each guitar, so taking them to jams and live shows is no problem at all. One lucky US-based winner is going to receive both the GD35CE and GD35CE-12. This sweepstakes package has a total retail value of $1,799.98. Enter by January 31, 2024 for a chance to win. No purchase necessary; open to US residents only. Odds of winning depend on number of entries received. See the full rules at the entry page, and good luck from your friends at Takamine USA!

Spotlight: Takamine G70 Series

In the Takamine G Series, one range stands out as offering perhaps the most variety of high-quality, value-priced guitars: G70. Some of the instruments in this range, like the GN77KCE, the GN75CE, and the GJ72CE, offer mind-blowing features, build quality, and tone for their modest price. Some say that the Takamine G70 range is even comparable to our handcrafted Pro Series guitars, but you can make that call for yourself.
