TAKAMINE G MINI SERIES “NASHVILLE” TGP3HSENS MINI-DREADNOUGHT ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC GUITAR

Description

Part of Takamine’s compact G Mini Series, the “Nashville” TGP3HSENS scales down the classic dreadnought silhouette into a nimble, stage-capable acoustic-electric instrument. Engineered to preserve traditional dreadnought tonal balance within a reduced physical footprint, this six-string model pairs a light natural soundboard with warm reddish-brown back and sides protected by a smooth Natural Satin finish.

Its non-cutaway mini-dreadnought body eliminates the bulk of full-size acoustic guitars while maintaining focused low-mid warmth and crisp note definition. Outfitted with an integrated upper-bout preamp system and gold tuning hardware, the TGP3HSENS moves seamlessly from backstage warmups and couch songwriting sessions to direct-line live performances and desktop studio tracking.

Traveling songwriters, smaller-framed guitarists, and electric players seeking an approachable acoustic feel will benefit immediately from the TGP3HSENS’s reduced body dimensions. Its smooth Natural Satin finish and built-in electronics make it equally practical for tour bus rehearsals, tight coffeehouse stages, and quick direct recording setups.

Key Features:

String Configuration: The bottom four strings (Low E, A, D, and G) are replaced with higher-octave strings – typically the lighter octave courses from a 12-string guitar set or a dedicated Nashville tuning set.

High Strings: The B and high E strings remain at normal standard pitch.

Pitch and Notes: The resulting open notes are E3–A3–D4–G4–B3–E4. Because the note names match standard tuning, you don’t need to learn any new chord or scale shapes.

Scaled Mini-Dreadnought Body & Natural Satin Finish

The “Nashville” TGP3HSENS condenses the iconic dreadnought profile into a portable mini-dreadnought frame with a light natural top, reddish-brown back and sides, and contrasting multi-ply edge binding. Finished in a low-glare Natural Satin coat without a pickguard, the top resonates freely while offering a tactile, non-sticky feel across the forearm.

Compact Ergonomics & Fretboard Feel

Its reduced body depth and shorter overall footprint ease shoulder and wrist strain during long practice sessions or cramped stage setups. The brown wood fingerboard features clean white dot inlays and a comfortable neck profile that accommodates both open-position strumming and single-note phrasing.

Gold Hardware & Reliable Intonation

Three-per-side gold tuning machines fitted with amber-toned buttons anchor the dark headstock, providing smooth gear ratios and classic aesthetic contrast. Down at the body, a matching brown wood bridge with a compensated white saddle and dark bridge pins ensures consistent string tension and accurate intonation across the neck.

Built-In Acoustic-Electric Connectivity

An onboard preamp control module positioned on the upper bass-side shoulder delivers instant access to volume and tone shaping without disrupting the clean top aesthetic. Players can plug directly into acoustic amplifiers, PA consoles, or audio interfaces for feedback-controlled amplification anywhere.
