Great sound is in the details
The Takamine GY93 New Yorker acoustic guitar benefits from quality tonewoods and Takamine's painstaking attention to detail. With its scalloped X-braced solid spruce top, black walnut sides, and 3-piece black walnut/maple back, the GY93 looks great and is tonally versatile enough to handle whatever playing style your musical mood dictates. And if you're playing out, the Takamine GY93 New Yorker's stage-friendly gloss finish will certainly command your audience's attention.
Solid spruce top, black walnut/maple back, and black walnut sides are a magical tonewood combination
Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the GY93 New Yorker, Takamine chose a solid spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has an articulate sound with excellent projection. It's a great balance for the rich, dimensional sound of the 3-piece black walnut/maple back and rosewood sides. And because it's a solid-wood instrument, the tone of your GY93 New Yorker will only get better with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.
Takamine: a legacy of amazing quality, sound, and playability
The Takamine GY93 New Yorker acoustic guitar benefits from a half-century of Takamine guitar-crafting knowhow. Launched in 1962 at the foot of Japan's Takamine mountains, Takamine has been designing and building acoustic guitars that are seen in the hands of some of music's biggest stars. With quality and value as guiding principles, Takamine's instruments employ the finest tonewoods and construction techniques, something you'll discover for yourself as soon as you pick up your GY93 New Yorker for the first time.
