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.
