With the Takamine GY51E, the iconic Japanese manufacturer presents a compact Parlor Western guitar equipped with an in-house pickup system. Thanks to its small size, the GY51E produces clear mid and treble frequencies and is thus excellently suited for expressive picking and fingerstyle. At the same time, the round neck offers superb playability in all 21 frets. Nick Jennison takes a closer look at this new release.
In the video you will hear Nick talk about the specs of the GY11ME and the GY51E guitars as well as playing demonstrations and comparisons of each guitar strummed, finger picked, flat picked and plugged in.

The thing I HATE about every single parlor guitar Ive tried is the annoying string buzz while strumming them, they are really only good for finger picking
In your opinion is the Takamini new Yorker , better than the Yamaha APX 600, thanks Steve Manchester UK
what about that asymmetrical neck – does it interfere with play ?
excellent detailed review
GY11 is not solid wood its all laminated
Great review thanks
Can it be played with less fret buzz?
???????? Which one did you like better personally? GY11 or GY51? ????
I like the GY51E but I won't use amplification. Which model you recomend me without electronic?
Scale lenght is different
Slots, no way. Not on stage. Get a monkey to change your strings, I ain't helping ya. Get the GY93.
The compensated bridge is different on the GY11ME.
Which strings and gauge are you using? Looks like this is more for a finger picker vs a Strummer
speak Abit slower…
mio amico caro grazie di cuore per tuo bellissimo video e per la incantevole musica da te eseguita e per la stupenda spiegazione molto interessante e stupenda grazie dalla MIA SICILIA tuo amico giuseppe????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The gy51e open slot headstock has a clearer more open tone. The other two seem a bit choked. If you haven’t played a classical headstock style guitar you’re in for a sonic treat. Nice job Nick! The Cordoba classical guitar 55FCE negra limited is a mighty nice series as well. Easy to play, wider neck and “open headstock”.
Love Takamine guitars. But not that series. Take care ????????????????
