FA: Solid koa/cedar Takamine mini jumbo acoustic


Recommended Posts

Posted

Time to say goodbye to a wonderful guitar. Here's the ebay auction for my Takamine F470SSCD. For years it has been my guitar for alternate tunings and recording second guitar parts (it blends really well with other guitars), but I no longer have the luxury of owning 4 acoustic guitars. I'd have loved to keep it, but couldn't part with the Lowden, Huss & Dalton or the Gurian, so it has to go.

What do you mean by mini-jumbo? Shallower body? Smaller body but still as deep? I was playing my dreadnought yesterday and it feels uncomfortable under the crook of my right arm.

Same shape as a jumbo, only smaller (in all dimensions). Takamine calls it the NEX:

I've got a jumbo Lowden and find the large size makes it a bit fatiguing to play...but I love the sound. The NEX retains the signature sound of a jumbo (full, balanced but not boomy) with just a little less volume, as you'd expect.
