Guitar of the Month: Garth Brooks Signature Series GB7C

Garth Brooks is more than a legend; he’s one of the biggest-selling solo artists of all time in any genre of music. His Takamine Signature Series GB7C is most immediately recognizable by its unique guitar-shaped soundhole. But this solid cedar-topped, solid rosewood-backed beauty delivers the tone you desire for everything from soft fingerstyle passages to aggressive strumming, and the built-in CT4B II preamp system — paired with the powerful Palathetic under-saddle pickup — means it’s a great guitar to take onstage everywhere from your local honky-tonk to worldwide stadium tours.
