Takamine GY21E Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Satin Molasses

Takamine GY21E SM Acoustic Guitar – New Yorker, Solid Spruce Top, Satin Molasses

The GY21E SM is a compact, responsive acoustic with the New Yorker body shape that sits comfortably in the lap and delivers punchy articulation. Its solid spruce top paired with sapele back and sides creates a balanced, focused tone that cuts through without excess resonance. The satin molasses finish provides a warm aesthetic while maintaining a matte, non-reflective surface that feels natural in hand.

Tone & Electronics

The solid spruce top over sapele back and sides produces clear, defined highs with controlled bass response—ideal for fingerstyle and folk applications. Built-in TP-3G electronics include a tuner and 3-band EQ, allowing real-time tone shaping and reliable amplification without sacrificing acoustic character.

Playability & Build

At 644mm scale length and 42.5mm nut width, this guitar suits players with smaller hands or those who prefer a tighter string spacing. The mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard provides smooth fret action and comfortable upper-fret access, while overall dimensions (1037mm length × 359.3mm width × 105mm depth) keep the instrument balanced and portable.
