Potential that knows no bounds
The tonewood construction of this electro acoustic offers sublime, ever-growing sound. It's the kind of sound that gives you endless potential, the kind that grows more divine with age, and the kind you won't be able to get enough of. Taking centre stage is the solid spruce top, a timeless tonewood and a go-to for acoustic players. It's the perfect soundboard for broad dynamics and projection, whilst its diamond-quality articulation will ensure each note retains every ounce of definition, no matter how loud you play.
Black walnut back and sides then bring clear, shimmering trebles to your sound, as well as a gorgeous, woody midrange. Expect a beautifully bright tone that gradually becomes warmer with age. It's magical. Better still, the back is injected with a touch of the maple goodness that acoustic players love, courtesy of the quilt maple centre that runs in exquisite, streamlined fashion. True beauty, from every angle.
The New Yorker
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.
Premium quality details
Elegant appointments grace this already-beautiful guitar, giving you an instrument that not only plays exquisitely, but looks sublime too. The split-saddle design allows for precise intonation, whilst the laurel fretboard - adorned with abalone dot inlays - and mahogany neck lend themselves to smooth, effortless fretting. From gold die-cast tuning machines to the sleek maple binding, the GY93E is captivating from first glance.
