Taka-Mini Summer Sweepstakes

Taka-Mini Summer Sweepstakes

Enter for a chance to win your choice of the GX11ME or GX18CE “Taka-Mini” guitars!

This may be the first time you’ve heard about a guitar that you never knew you needed in your music-making tool kit! Takamine offers two models of the “Taka-Mini”… a 3/4 sized guitar that’s packed with fun, but definitely more serious than you envision at first glance. You can do so much with this little guitar: use it for convenient travel, string it in high “Nashville tuning” to add a whole new dimension to your tracks, or just keep it around on the couch to get inspired for new tunes. Or take it to your next gig and plug in… perfect for performing singer-songwriters!

The winner of the Taka-Mini Summer Sweepstakes gets their choice of the all-mahogany, non-cutaway GX11ME, or the cutaway GX18CE with a solid spruce top and sapele back and sides. Both models include a Takamine TP4T preamp with 3-band EQ, gain control, and a built-in tuner, as well as a handy gig bag.

Only one member of the Takamine community will win a Taka-Mini, which has a retail value of $489.99 (GX11ME) or $499.99 (GX18CE). Plus, you’ll get an extra three packs of D’Addario strings to keep your new Taka-Mini sounding great for a long while to come! No purchase necessary. This offer is open to residents of the USA and Mexico only. Odds of winning depend on number of entries received. Enter by August 31, 2025 for a chance to win, see complete rules and regulations, and good luck from your friends at Takamine USA/MX!
