Takamine Guitars (NAMM Booth 210D) has announced two new additions to their popular line of travel-sized guitars known as Taka-Minis. The GP3HSE and GX31CE made their debut at the 2026 NAMM Show.
“Both of the new Taka-Mini models are more than they appear at first glance,” says Tom Watters, Director of Product Development for Takamine Guitars. “The GP3HSE is designed for high-strung Nashville tuning, while the GX31CE represents a higher-quality solution in a compact and convenient size. Both of these value-packed guitars are very appropriate for use by pro players in recording and live performance.”
The Takamine G Series GP3HSE is a 3/4-sized guitar (22.4” scale length) with the shape and full body depth of a dreadnought. Its pro features include a solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, with a laurel fingerboard, multi-binding on the front and back of the body, and Takamine’s TP-3G electronics with 3-band EQ, volume, and a built-in chromatic tuner. Available in Natural Satin finish with gold hardware, the GP3HSE comes factory-strung with the high-strings from a 12-string set — known as Nashville tuning — delivering the signature shimmering tone that adds depth and sparkle to performances.
The Takamine G Series GX31CE is designed for exceptional portability without compromising Takamine’s renowned tone. This compact model — using Takamine’s popular NEX cutaway body shape — features custom-designed bracing, along with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. It delivers exceptional projection and clarity for a smaller (22.4” scale length) instrument, and includes pro features like multi-binding on the front and back of the body, gold hardware, and Takamine’s TP-3G electronics with 3-band EQ, volume, and a built-in chromatic tuner. Available in Natural Satin finish, the GX31CE also comes with a convenient GBXM gig bag.
