Définition corp NEX (jumbo, dread, ... )????

NEX BODY

This body is a signature Takamine design. The top has a pleasing, rounded profile that is narrow at the waist, yet broad behind the bridge creating a soundboard that offers a balanced frequency response with deep bass, clear treble, and a sweet, round midrange that projects well. The body carries the depth of a dreadnought to ensure a great level of volume.

The NEX has the feel of a small-bodied guitar yet yields impressive performance, and is an excellent accompaniment to the singer-songwriter, or the finger-style player.

(...) For example, the increased midrange and treble response of the NEX and Artist styles cut through the sonic soup of a band better than a dreadnought or a jumbo and, because of the smaller body, feedback less through sound systems. In addition, lead guitarists often favor smaller body guitars because of their balanced sound. In contrast, large bodies have more bass response. Thus, large guitar bodies, especially the dreadnought, are favored by solo strummers for their boom 'n twang. Slack key artists like the extended bass response of the dreadnought and jumbo for "slacked" tunings.

Takamine's "NEX" Body design is similar to an Auditorium size with a scaled-down jumbo shape which provides great balance to the tone and it's smaller size adds comfort to hold.
