• Great sound is in the details
• Takamine's TK-40D preamp system
• Takamine: a legacy of amazing quality, sound, and playability

The Takamine GY93E New Yorker acoustic-electric 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 GY93E looks great and is tonally versatile enough to handle whatever playing style your musical mood dictates. And if you're playing out, the Takamine GY93E New Yorker's stage-friendly gloss finish will certainly command your audience's attention.

The GY93E New Yorker sports Takamine's TK-40D preamp, giving you rich, clear-sounding amplified output — instantly. The TK-40D features a gain knob; a tuner; an active shelving EQ with bass, middle, and treble sliders; and a low battery indicator. The preamp is switched on by plugging a standard instrument cable into the endpin/strap-pin jack. Unplugging the cable turns the preamp off. The TK-40D is powered by a single 9-volt battery.

The Takamine GY93E New Yorker acoustic-electric 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 GY93E New Yorker for the first time.
