The Takamine JGB7C Garth Brooks signature is a gorgeous solid cedar-topped acoustic 6-string with some versatile electric giddy-up that’s absolutely perfect for thriving in country or bluegrass environments. Backed by an X-braced body of rosewood and a neck of rosewood-topped mahogany, this dreadnought delivers beautiful natural tones that are perfect for sitting and strumming as they are for caroling up onstage. And speaking of taking the stage, the onboard CT4B II preamp system with a Palathetic under-saddle pickup allows you to amplify these perfect sounds with extraordinary clarity and organic accuracy. Additional fine elements include a genuine bone nut, bone saddles, an ebony bridge, and Gotoh sealed-back tuners dotted with amber acrylic buttons to create a top-tier playing experience for all who pick up the JGB7C. From front porches and campfires to home recordings and concert stages, let the acoustic thunder roll with the JGB7C Garth Brooks signature from Takamine!





Beautiful organic sound





Combining solid cedar and rosewood, the dreadnought body of the JGB7C produces a natural tone that’s both soft and warm in its delivery with a rich and resonant density to round out all frequencies nicely. The underside of the top features standard X-bracing for greater projection just about anywhere you perform as well. Further up, the JGB7C’s mahogany neck lays a sustain-favoring foundation that’s beautifully matched with a rosewood fingerboard, allowing you to give chords, held notes, and melodies the musical definition to leave a lasting impression.

Stage-ready preamp system





Takamine’s proprietary CT4B II preamp system gives guitarists a convenient and reliable means for plug-in play, from direct-input recording sessions to center-stage performances. The JGB7C’s immaculate tone is flawlessly translated courtesy of a Palathetic under-saddle pickup, delivering amplified results with clarity and accuracy that does its natural unplugged tone justice. Built-into the preamp system is a control array that keeps you in control at all times, boasting Volume and 3-band EQ controls for contouring that perfectly balanced delivery to fit the space at hand. There’s even an onboard tuner to ensure you always stay on top of your intonation!





No devil in these details!





There’s a lot more than initially meets the eye across the JGB7C that works extra-hard to deliver an exceptional playing experience. First and foremost, a set of sealed-back Gotoh tuning machines prioritize remarkable intonation, letting you maintain your musical focus at all times. A fingerboard-matching rosewood bridge preserves the JGB7C’s sustain at the body end as well, playing with an all-natural string response thanks to an outfit of a real bone nut and saddles. Coming treated to an elegant natural satin finish, Garth’s signature is one 6-string that will look the part just as perfectly as it sounds and plays.
