A budget friendly concert cutaway! The Takamine line of classicals has always done a nice job at punching above its price point. The G5CE model features a nice resonant solid spruce top, a cutaway for easy upper register access, and an onboard pickup (with EQ control) make it a great choice for any experimentation or electric guitarist looking for a versatile nylon string. This particular example sustained a crack in its treble side waist, which does not go all the way through, and has been sealed with glue from the top. The guitar sounds nice and plays easy with a straight neck and typical action.
