The New Yorker is the smallest profile Takamine, and a traditional old-time guitar shape that produces an immediate, clear, full-bodied tone that evokes the old 78 rpm records of the 1940's. The strumming voice is sharp and airy, and when played finger-style, the New Yorker sings with a sweetness and character that makes the player want to dig a little deeper into the roots of American music.
Takamine G406S New Yorker Acoustic Guitar Sample Review
Quality: The sound is good to great but the finish has much to be desired. Lots of trash in the finish and the side of the fingerboard is stained for color and you can see where they taped the neck. some of the binding around the fingerboard has gaps.
Desirability: The abalone is done very well. Looks good over all
Sound: Has a good sound for the size of the body. Great for fingerstyle blues.
Ease of Use: Action was really high when it arrived. I had to adjust the neck and lower the saddle. Neck is very straight so I dropped the saddle and still had no fret buzz.
Overall: I'll keep this because it fits my use and sounds good.
