For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its New Yorker format and overall balance, this Takamine is particularly suited for demanding beginners as well as intermediate guitarists seeking an easy-to-live-with electro-acoustic folk guitar. It performs well in pop, folk, variety, vocal accompaniment, and gentle picking styles, while remaining effective with a pick for full, well-defined chords.
The Sound
The combination of mahogany top + mahogany back and sides emphasizes a warm tonal color, with present mids and a naturally rounded attack. The New Yorker format promotes a balanced and precise output, very pleasant for fingerstyle and accompaniment, with controlled projection. When plugged in, the TP4T electronics preserve this musical character while maintaining useful definition for rehearsals and stage performance.
