Description
Takamine GD93CE-LH NAT Dreadnought Cutaway Left-Handed Acoustic-Electric Guitar with a solid spruce top, three-piece black walnut and quilt maple back with black walnut sides, a mahogany neck, a bound laurel fingerboard, and a Gloss Natural finish.
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I started as a studio musician in Los Angeles, and now I run Terry Carter Music Store and a music education platform that has taught thousands of students how to play.
Left-handed players deserve the same great guitars. A dreadnought is the guitar most players picture when they think 'acoustic'. Big, balanced, and made for strumming and flatpicking. The Takamine GD93CE-LH puts that classic shape in a Gloss Natural finish with a solid spruce top, a three-piece black walnut and quilt maple back, a Venetian-style cutaway, and a Takamine preamp ready for any amp or PA.
