The Takamine GY93E "New Yorker" is a parlor-sized acoustic-electric guitar that, while small, is not short on tone or playability. The GY93E has a focused, articulate sound that's made parlor guitars so popular with singer-songwriters and studio musicians with a solid spruce top, rosewood sides and a stunning 3-piece back made of rosewood and quilted maple. The mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard is fast, comfortable and a joy to play When it's time to hit the stage, the built-in TK-40D electronics beautifully transmit the pure sound of this guitar to your amplifier or the PA system.
