Description
Takamine GX11ME-NS 3/4 Size Acoustic Lefty Guitar
The Takamine GX11ME-NS delivers the compact size and left-handed layout that lefty players deserve without forcing you into a cramped or uncomfortable feel. The mahogany construction yields warm, balanced tone with surprising resonance and clarity—the kind of acoustic voice that cuts through on stage and records cleanly in the studio. Built-in TP4T electronics let you amplify your tone while keeping the organic character intact, essential for fingerstyle work, folk repertoire, and singer-songwriter material where nuance matters.
Playability & Design
The 570mm scale length and 42mm nut width keep your fretting hand in a natural position without the cramped reach that kills smaller guitars. The mahogany neck feels solid and responsive under your fingers, while the 21-fret laurel fretboard gives you practical range for most tunings and playing styles. At 943.5mm length with a 358.2mm body width and 105mm depth, this instrument balances true portability with the ergonomic comfort you need for rehearsals, gigs, and tour dates.
Tone & Electronics
The NEX body style—a scaled-down jumbo profile—produces focused, articulate tone that projects confidently in both acoustic and amplified settings. The integrated TP4T preamp captures your natural voice transparently, making it reliable for live performance and studio work without coloring or degrading what you're actually playing.
