Small guitars that sound big are always amazing... small guitars are also great at "Nashville tuning", a process where the lowest four strings are replaced with octave up strings (like the high octave strings in a 12-string set). This creates a light, shimmering sound that is totally wonderful in a mix. Much of the sound of Southern California seventies folk rock slyly places this sound as a glossy textural element... you hear the strumming, but it doesn't crowd the vocal performances at all. Think of it as a twelve string sound without the bulk of frequencies—just pure musical magic. the gold hardware with amber pearloid buttons look simply elegant.
Of course, bringing the GP3HSE to the stage is a simple task with the built in TP-3G electronics, featuring 3-band eq, volume control, and a chromatic tuner. The tone is TakaMini gold!
