When you talk about acoustic left hand guitars, the name Takamine immediately pops it's head up. A guitar manufacturer based in Japan, this US distributor Kaman Corporation 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 A/E can be ordered in a left hand orientation.
There are two electric left handed guitars that stand out among the many series of Takamine. One of these is the G series and includes a big variety of electric guitar left handed models. Most of these guitars have spruce top that is built with solid and nato sides and back. This wood Nato is quite an inexpensive mahogany- legume family and a distant relative of Koa which makes the instruments very spectacular. This guitar left hand oriented is top notch for several reasons when you put it dollar for dollar.
Unlike many of their rivals, the body style has not been changed and is still very much a classic dreadnought with flat front and molded sides. With this special wood the acoustic tone still retains what every player long for. Very importantly, the chases will not slip or fall from your lap when you are strumming this beautiful guitar.The only change you will notice with some of these acoustic left hand guitars, it has a cutaway and some do not. Many people prefer the single cutaway because it gives the player a further range and allows access to the higher register. Most models has a smaller scale neck with only 20 frets with the neck joined at the 14th so you have clear access to frets 15 through 20. For leads or standout rhythm riffs it is especially important when you kick in the pre-amp and power.
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.
We can't finish this one without talking about the Natural series of the Takamines. More of an upscale model from the G series it features a Mahogany back and sides with the top made of solid cedar. A great value for money it's a natural electric guitar left handed version with great value and as they say, the life of the guitar is in the wood and these G series is not different. Having extremely good tone and clarity, both series of acoustic left hand guitars, electric or not, combine it's attention to workmanship. You have a winning musical combination on your hand with a set of medium to light steel strings.
You need a guitar that is made FOR left hand players In any case, if you are a left handed player.
