Designed for players who want portability without giving up tonal authority, the Takamine Taka-mini GX31CE NEX-mini delivers a full acoustic voice in a compact, travel-friendly format. Its scaled-down NEX body pairs a solid spruce top with sapele back and sides to produce clear articulation, balanced warmth and impressive projection for its size. A shorter 22.44" scale length reduces string tension for easier fretting and relaxed playability, making the GX31CE especially comfortable for extended sessions. Whether at home, on the road or on stage, this acoustic-electric is built to fit modern playing needs.
Solid Spruce Top With Balanced, Responsive Tone
The solid spruce top gives the Taka-mini GX31CE a lively, articulate response that adapts well to both strumming and fingerstyle playing. Known for its clarity and dynamic range, spruce helps each note speak clearly while maintaining balance across the frequency spectrum. Paired with sapele back and sides, the result is a warm, controlled tone that projects cleanly without sounding thin or overly bright.
TP-3G Preamp for Simple, Reliable Amplification
Takamine’s TP-3G preamp system provides a straightforward amplified experience with volume and tone controls that are easy to adjust on the fly. The built-in tuner keeps the guitar performance-ready without extra gear, while the system preserves the instrument’s natural acoustic character when plugged in. Whether running into a PA, acoustic amp or interface, the GX31CE delivers consistent, usable tone.
Comfortable NEX-mini Design With Thoughtful Details
The compact 3/4-size NEX-mini body and shorter scale length create a comfortable feel for players who prefer a smaller instrument or need a highly portable option without sacrificing balance or projection. A laurel fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface, while the mahogany neck adds stability and a familiar Takamine feel. Finished with gold hardware and supplied with a Takamine gig bag, the Taka-mini GX31CE NEX-mini is built to travel easily and perform reliably wherever inspiration strikes.
