A New Yorker Pro 3: The Takamine Spirit in a Compact Format

The P3NY is part of Takamine's Pro 3 series, designed to offer meticulous luthiery, flawless finishes, and true versatility in amplified settings. Its New Yorker format, the most compact in the range, prioritizes ergonomics without sacrificing an expressive tonal signature, featuring an elegant and understated Natural Satin finish.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

Thanks to its reduced size and smooth playability, this Takamine is well suited for demanding beginners as well as intermediate and advanced guitarists seeking a comfortable electro-acoustic folk guitar. It excels in fingerstyle, pop, vocal accompaniment, and is very comfortable for both fingerpicking and pick playing, especially when alternating dynamics and nuances.

Tone

The solid western cedar top provides a quick attack and natural warmth, particularly pleasant on arpeggios and subtle playing. The solid sapele back and sides enhance the midrange and presence, with a beautiful balance between precision and roundness. The X bracing (hand-scalloped) promotes responsiveness and projection, giving this small format a surprisingly full voice, with a smooth sustain and an "airy" resonance. For the stage, the CT-4BII preamp allows you to retain this warm character when plugged in, with controls designed for effective live use.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar is designed for metal strings, so you can choose a set of steel strings for 6-string folk guitar to maintain the original brightness and balance. A case is included, ideal for daily transport and protection.
