by Stephen Murray from Austin TX
This little guitar is an astounding buy. Right out of the box it was set up fine, no sharp frets anywhere, intonation correct, action fantastic. Looking over this instrument I find it 99.9% fit and fi... read more [+]nish perfect. (Mine has one very small flaw in the stain on the 3-piece back - no big deal) This guitar looks and plays great. I think this guitar is larger and deeper than a 'parlor' size guitar. Mine is 4" deep at the lower bout and tapers up to 3 5/8" deep at the upper bout. The lower bout is 14" wide and the top bout is 10 1/4" wide. The body is 19 1/4" long. Overall length of the guitar is around 40 1/8". I purchased a Travelite Case for Classical/Dobro TL-60 and it fits the New Yorker perfectly. Interestingly enough there are some shops 'hot-rodding' the EG416S-VS by dropping in the Takamine CTP-2 Cool Tube Preamp. Now that would be something. Overall I am more than happy with this guitar. There's not too many bargains out there like this one right now from Sweetwater. close [-]
January 17, 2012 Music Background: Hobbyist Price/Performance Winner!
by Buck Buchanan from Elmore, Ohio
Honestly, for the price I paid for this guitar I truly was blown way. I wanted something comfortable to play live, and the smaller body of the "New Yorker" caught my attention due to it's advertised f... read more [+]eatures and price point. The acoustic sound is formidable, and though it won't compete volume wise with a heavily strummed dreadnought, it does compliment the sound by having more of a bright midrange and high end. The onboard electronics allow one to drastically manipulate the tone via the 3-band EQ. I perform with a Fishman LoudBox Mini and the ability to adjust the EQ on the guitar instead of on the amplifier as I did when using a magnetic sound-hole pickup is convenient. I adjust my EQ settings for flat-picking, finger-style, and for what I refer to as "thumb-strumming" in order to better suit the song I am performing and I can get the exact tone I am trying to achieve. The frets, action, finish, and overall playability are well above average and I wouldn't complain if the guitar were $700. It's not a $1800 Taylor, but I wouldn't be taking an $1800 Taylor in to some of the dives I play anyway, so this guitar serves the purpose for which it was intended. It feels good, it plays well, and it sounds good. close [-]

by Ken Wilson from Knoxville,TN
Takamine is a very well known name for its acoustic guitars. The "New Yorker" continues the tradition. The front of the guitar is very attractive, but the 3 piece back is a work of art. The slimmer... read more [+] body adds to the overall appeal of this guitar. Then you get to the real meat of the guitar, the sound. It has a very rich sound and fingers wonderfully.
