Details
This left-handed Takamine GD30 was made in 2021 and it’s in excellent, lightly played condition. It has a solid spruce top, layered mahogany back and sides it and compares very favorably with the Takamine models Gryphon was selling 40 years ago. One of Takamine’s improvements, and one we heartily endorse, is the split bridge saddle you’ll find on all their steel-string models. Rather than heavy compensation of a single angled saddle (to get accurate intonation on all six strings) Takamine uses one saddle for the two unwound treble strings with a second longer saddle for the four wound strings. You’ll see this same approach to intonation issues on Lowden guitars, which speaks for itself.
