Takamine GY11ME-NS New Yorker Electro Acoustic Guitar - Box Opened

Full Description

All-Mahogany Construction

The Takamine GY11ME-NS features a body crafted entirely from mahogany, which produces a rich, full and resonant tonal character. Its mahogany top has a natural compression which produces strong fundamentals with a direct, clear focus. Furthermore, the GY11ME-NS also has mahogany back and sides which produce a meaty mid-range with woody, punchy tones and plenty of depth to please most playing styles. The overall tone is warm, rich, and extremely resonant, offering a truly sonically pleasing sound, perfect for those that crave a warmer-sounding acoustic voice. Furthermore, its all-mahogany construction is particularly well-suited to old school blues, roots music, and slide techniques.

Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

Constructed from mahogany, the New Yorker's neck produces a rich, resonant warmth. Mahogany's nature enables it to respond superbly to many different playing styles with equal ease. Additionally, the neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard, which adds a sonically pleasing warmth and clarity to the overall sound. Furthermore, its rosewood fingerboard also offers a smooth and energetic playing experience and is sprinkled with white dot inlays for added authenticity.

New Yorker Body

The GY11ME-NS features Takamine's New Yorker body, which is the smallest of Takamine's full scale guitars and is similar in size and proportion to parlour shape. Players are certain to benefit from the comfort on offer, its smaller size and nipped in waist make the GY11ME-NS incredibly comfortable to play when playing both seated or standing. The tone produced is clear and sweet with a frequency range that makes the GY11ME-NS stand out in a mix. The combination of the Takamine's New Yorker body and all-mahogany build together provide a tone particularly well-suited to blues, roots music, and slide techniques whilst accommodating fingerstylists brilliantly.

TP-4T Preamp System

Equipped with built-in electronics, the GY11ME-NS will feel right at home within the studio or on-stage, perfect for the performing musician. The Takamine's on-board TP-4T preamp features slide controls for bass, middle, treble, and a rotary control for gain, enabling players to add a little extra sonic-character to their amplified tone. Furthermore, the preamp also features an on-board chromatic tuner, which is perfect for both live and acoustic performance, ensuring precise and easy tuning on the go.
