Left-handed guitarists know the frustration. You walk into a store and there are fifty right-handed guitars on the wall and maybe two options for you, both of them models nobody else wanted. The Takamine GD11MCE-NS Left-Handed is not that. It is the same serious dreadnought acoustic-electric as the right-handed version, built the same way, spec for spec, just flipped for the way you actually play.

Spruce top, mahogany back and sides, rosewood fretboard, and Takamine's TP-4T preamp with a built-in chromatic tuner. The natural satin finish looks and feels like a real instrument rather than a beginner toy. At $499 it is one of the better values in left-handed acoustic-electrics at this price because most manufacturers either don't make a left-handed version or they charge extra for it. Takamine does not.

The dreadnought body projects well whether you are playing unplugged in a bedroom or plugged in at a small venue. The preamp system is simple and reliable, which is exactly what you want when you are learning to navigate a live sound situation for the first time. It stays in tune, it plays cleanly, and it does not fight you.

If you want to try it before you buy, come into our Charleston WV retail store or our New Albany Ohio showroom and we will get it in your hands. If you already know this is the one, order online and select in-store pickup and we will have it waiting. We also offer installment financing through Affirm at checkout so you can take it home now and pay over time.

The Pied Piper Music Store has been family owned since 1967. We set up every instrument before it goes out the door, and we have trusted repair techs in both Ohio and West Virginia if you ever need service after the sale.
