TAKAMINE GY21E-SM Electro-Acoustic Guitar

TAKAMINE GY21E-SM Electro-Acoustic Guitar

The Takamine GY21E-SM is a compact yet powerfully voiced electro-acoustic guitar, featuring an exclusive "Satin Molasses" finish that gives the instrument a warm, rootsy look. This model boasts a "New Yorker" body shape – Takamine's smallest full-scale format (also known as "Parlor"), characterized by a clear, focused sound and incredible comfort for seated playing.

Despite its small size, the guitar is designed for serious musicianship. Its top is made of Solid Spruce, ensuring bright tone and long sustain. The back and sides, crafted from Sapele, complement the sound with warmth and rich mid-range. For stage performance, the integrated Takamine TP-3G electronics allow for easy sound control, while the built-in chromatic tuner ensures you're always perfectly in tune.
