Takamine Acoustic Left Hand And Electric Left Hand Oriented Guitars

When you talk about acoustic left hand guitars, the name Takamine immediately pops its head up. A guitar manufacturer based in Japan, the US distributor is Kaman Corporation. They are most known for their trademark pre-amp/EQ built into every model of A/E. This also applies to their acoustic left handed instruments as well.

It should be pointed out that any model of Takamine A/E can be ordered in a left hand orientation.

Among the many series of Takamine acoustic  left handed guitars, there are two that stand out. One of these is the G series and encompasses a wide variety of acoustic electric guitar, left hand models included. Most of them feature a spruce top that is solid with nato sides and back. Not real sure what nato is, but I know that the instruments are spectacular.

No comparably priced instrument has the quality of the Takamine guitar for left-handers. Unlike certain other guitar makers, Takamine has never altered its design. Takamine guitars have the classic dreadnought configuration with molded sides and a flat back. Thus, the acoustic tones that players know and love has never changed. The guitar will never fall out of a player's lap in the middle of a set.

Only one change has been made to any of their guitars, namely that some of the acoustic left hand guitars now have a cutaway. Single cutaways are superior, because they increase the player's range by making it easier to play high notes. The majority of models have relatively small necks with 20 frets; the neck joins at the 14th fret, making frets 15 to 20 easier to play. This becomes even more important when you need more power for rhythm riffs and leads. Takamine electric guitars for left handers contain wonderful pre-amps and EQs, usually with Takamine's proprietary TK4N electronics. Players can adjust the middle range while they're playing, and the notch filter can also be tuned.

I cannot finish this one without a word on Takamines Natural series. This is a more upscale model from the G series and features a Mahogany back and sides with a solid cedar top. Still, the Takamine Natural acoustic electric guitar left handed version is a great value for the money.

The Natural series of Takamine guitars also deserves mention. The Natural model is more expensive than the G series, and it comes with a solid cedar top and mahogany sides and rear. It is still an excellent value for its cost, because the quality of the wood is so high. The acoustic left-handed guitars produce excellent, clear tones, whether you buy an electric version or not. Takamine's attention to detail really shows when you use light to medium steel strings.

I am unable to complete this one without speaking on Takamines Natural series. This looks like a greater upscale model from the G series and has a Mahogany back and sides with a solid cedar top. Yet, the Takamine Natural acoustic electric guitar left handed variant is a real value for your money.
