great fit for practicing at home or gigging in front of hundreds of people, GB7C Garth Brooks meets and exceeds all the needs that you could have for an acoustic-electric guitar. The construction, tonewood, comfort, playability and sound on this model make is a definite winner. It might be a little bit too pricey for beginners but if you are planning on having a long term career (or hobby) in music you should think of purchasing a model that will last you years and only get better and better with time and that definitely is GB7C.
Takamine has equipped this model with rosewood bridge and fingerboard. This is a great model to gigging and recording not just because of the construction and tonewood but also because it comes with Palatheic pickup located under the saddle and CT-4BII preamp that help fine tune your guitar. As a nice bonus you get a great, sturdy case to keep your instrument and accessories safe from any accidents or weather/humidity changes
