Takamine GY51E Natural Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0069-5221 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Takamine GY51E is an electro-acoustic steel-string guitar with a comfortable New Yorker body equipped with a TP-4DT preamp, and a slotted headstock for a nice dose of nonchalant retro vibe. Combined with the high-gloss finish and abalone rosette, the body made of black walnut looks tastefully sleek and guarantees a clearly present tonal mid-range - something the fingerpickers among us are sure to appreciate. Whether in the studio or on stage, the Takamine GY51E sounds great no matter what thanks to the built-in TP-4DT preamp with integrated tuner.

Wrote the following about Takamine GY51E Natural Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Recieved a b-stock version of this guitar, and was a little sceptical about the price due to the low price. I received the product and was over the moon with it. It was like new. It plays really well. A great sound for a slightly smaller acoustic than i had before and a definite upgrade from my now old guitar. I would recommend this guitar to someone looking an awsome playing, great looking acoustic. The only thing perhaps is the strings i dont like as much but still. It will be a purchase i will get years of enjoyment from. Thank you. P.S. Bax has been soo helpful with any enquiries and have all aspects of any product purchased down a tee. Thanks again Bax. I have already made an other purchase.well done.

Of the many new products presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, some, like this new acoustic guitar from Yamaha, are real standouts.
