Find A Takamine Acoustic Left Hand And Electric Left Hand Oriented Guitars

By Zane J Freeman

Takamine is the first name thought of when discussing acoustic left handed guitars. As a Japan based guitar manufacturer; its US distribution team is the Kaman Corporation. They are most popular for their signature pre-amp/EQ built into all A/E models. This is also true of their acoustic left handed instruments. It is important to note all Takamine AE models can be specified for left handed artists.

Takamine acoustic electric left handed guitars come in several series, but two are especially noteworthy. The G series contains many models of acoustic guitars, intended for left and right handed players. They generally have solid spruce tops are nato rears and sides, which produce excellent sound. The Takamine electric guitar for left handers is the best you can buy. It hasn't changed its body style unlike its competitors. The flat rear and molded sides give it a timeless appearance, prevent the guitar from falling out of the player's lap, and preserves an acoustic tone prized by players worldwide.

The only difference is that some of these left handed acoustic guitars have cutaways and some don't. The single cutaway gives access to a higher register, which gives the player a bigger range. That's why I like it. Almost all the guitars I looked at only had 20 frets because of a smaller scale neck. The neck joins at the 14th fret. You have clear access to the 15th-20th fret. You need this access when you turn the pre-amp up to do lead work or rhythm riffs.

Talking about the pre-amp and EQ, built in to every Takamine acoustic electric guitar left handed edition is excellent. With a TK4N electronics, this special set up gives guitarists to manually change mid-range on the fly if needed and has a "notch" filter which is changeable.

The Natural series of Takamine guitars deserves to be mentioned. This series will cost more than the G series guitars. They have solid cedar tops and mahogany backs and sides, all of excellent quality to ensure the best possible sound. The acoustic and electric left-handed guitars are still great value for the money, because the clarity and tone that they produce are outstanding. These fine guitars should be used with light to medium steel strings. When you do so, Takamine's attention to detail really shines through to give the best guitar sound available anywhere.

If you happen to be a southpaw, you cannot buy just any guitar. Instead, you need to find a shop that sells left-handed guitars, such as www.lefthandedguitarmall.com, which stocks left-handed electric guitars. It also has other musical items designed especially for lefties. - 18758
