Sound & Tone
The solid spruce top over sapele back and sides gives this New Yorker a warm, articulate voice with clear note definition and natural sustain, while the compact parlor-style body pushes the emphasis toward midrange focus rather than deep low end. The short 644mm scale and 42.5mm nut make it easy to fret chords and fingerpick, suiting singer-songwriters, folk and blues players, and anyone wanting a controlled, vocal-friendly acoustic for close-quarters playing. The TP-3G system with onboard tuner and 3-band EQ lets you shape that midrange clarity when plugged in for small stages or recording.
Takamine GY21E LH SM Acoustic Guitar – Solid Spruce Top, Satin Molasses, Left-Handed
The Takamine GY21E LH SM is a left-handed New Yorker body acoustic engineered for gigging musicians who need responsive playability and road-ready amplified tone. The satin molasses finish and ergonomic body shape sit naturally in the hands, while the solid spruce top cuts through on stage whether played acoustically or running through a PA.
Tone & Construction
A solid spruce top paired with sapele back and sides generates warm, articulate tone with natural sustain that carries in live settings. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard ensure rock-solid reliability and tonal character under touring conditions, while the New Yorker body shape balances comfort against the torso with midrange clarity that holds up on stage.
Electronics & Playability
The TP-3G electronics system includes a built-in tuner and 3-band EQ, letting you dial in your sound quickly between sets without external gear. A 644mm scale length with a 42.5mm nut width offer comfortable fretting and spacing for hours of playing, while the left-handed orientation serves players who need their instrument configured for their dominant hand.
