Description
Takamine GN73CE LH SB Left-Handed Acoustic Guitar
The GN73CE LH SB is a left-handed NEX cutaway that sits solidly in hand for players who demand responsive feel and dependable stage tone. The satin black finish and compact body deliver a refined look, while the solid spruce top paired with maple back and sides produces a focused, articulate sound that cuts through in live settings and holds up equally well for fingerstyle work or aggressive strumming.
Build & Materials
Solid spruce top combined with maple back, sides, and neck creates a resonant, stable platform with excellent projection and sustain. The rosewood fingerboard and 42.5mm nut width provide comfortable spacing for precise fingering, while the 644mm scale length maintains familiar string tension and intonation across the fretboard—critical for gig reliability and consistency night to night.
Tone & Electronics
The integrated TP-3G electronics system features a built-in tuner and tone-shaping controls, allowing real-time adjustments on stage without external gear. This setup delivers transparent amplification suitable for both live performance and studio work, preserving the natural acoustic character of the spruce and maple construction so your tone stays honest through the PA.

The TP-3G features a built-in tuner and tone-shaping controls, allowing you to adjust your amplified sound in real time during live performance or studio work while preserving the natural acoustic character of the instrument.
How does the NEX body shape affect playability?
The NEX cutaway provides easier access to upper frets for left-handed players who need quick movement between positions, while maintaining a compact, balanced body that sits comfortably for both seated and standing play.
