Takamine GD30CE-12, black, made in China 2020. Takamine stuff is always good, even their more basic offerings are generally well put together and sound good. The G series guitars sit in the midrange, so you get a solid top and sturdy hardware and electronics, but they're not as pricey as the Japan-made offerings. This is a handy twelve: comfy neck, intonates well, good pickup... it does the job nicely. I like the black too, it's a classy look. Heaps of guitar for the cash and a fun entry into twleve-land.
