Key Features
The Takamine GY11ME New Yorker Electro Acoustic delivers gloriously sweet tones with crystal-clear articulation, whilst its smooth playability makes for a dreamy performance every time. The natural beauty of its all-mahogany build emanates with a beautiful satin finish, and is adorned with elegant, understated details such as a multi-stripe soundhole rosette and gold hardware. A rosewood fretboard will then lie underneath your fingertips, allowing for effortless, seamless position changes. You'll be whisked away into a magical playing experience and your audience will be well and truly captivated.
Takamine's New Yorker body produces shimmering sonic qualities that are sure to entice any guitarist looking for a smaller, more compact instrument. Its voice might be sweet, and its shape might be portable, but don’t be fooled by such a petite size. The mahogany body delivers supremely rich sound with plenty of resonance and warmth, giving you tonal capabilities that suit a range of genres, especially blues and roots. You'll have dazzling dynamics, astounding articulation, and a brilliantly balanced response all flowing from one heavenly instrument. And thanks to the TP-4T preamp, you can take your sound one step further, expertly sculpting it the way you want and projecting it with wondrous amplification.

It's wondrous to look at, sublime to play, and even more beautiful to listen to. The entire body of this guitar has been exquisitely crafted from mahogany, a tonewood that releases a wealth of warm, resonant tones. Known for its emphasised midrange, mahogany offers a brilliantly balanced sound, which means you can explore a range of genres and playing styles whilst always retaining that delicious old-school sonic richness. It begs your passionate strumming, your thick chords, and delicate fingerpicking. Whichever way you choose to play, you'll have tonal excellence flowing from the strings.
The smallest of Takamine's full scale guitars, the New Yorker body offers sublime playing comfort. With its compact shape and elegant contours, it is similar to the parlour shape, offering you an effortless performance whether you're sitting or standing. As can be expected with such a small, comfortable shape, its tone is clear and sweet. Team this with the depth and resonance of the mahogany construction and you have beautifully balanced sound that lends itself to blues, roots music, and slide techniques, as well as fingerstyle playing.
The GY11MCE is equipped with Takamine's TP-4T pickup and preamp system, allowing you to take your sound one step further. Plug into an amp or mixing desk and achieve a superb tone with plenty of glistening clarity - you won't lose a touch of that mahogany goodness. Mounted on the upper bout of the guitar body, the preamp's easy-to-reach controls - including a 3-band EQ - lend themselves to precise sound sculpting. The handy built-in tuner will then ensure every note is accurate.
