Takamine P3NY "New Yorker" Acoustic-electric Guitar Demo - Sweetwater Sound

[@lovewalruss]

Just bought one. It's a stunning guitar. Great vid. Thanks

[@mytoobusr]

I had one but found it quite bright, which is surprising considering its a cedar top. If you are just fingerpicking, then its a perfect fit and also a stunning looker.

[@studiocelestedesign]

@Reijo Väliranta You can listen to the musician Hozier play this guitar on the youtube "Hozier on the Late Late Show - 03/27/2020". He also plays it in many other videos. And check out his live surprise show he did on the NY subway. He also plays a Takamine on his "To Be Alone" video... but for that one I can't confirm if it's a NY or a dreadnought model.

[@georgegrewal8797]

Just played one and buying it ! They are beautiful.

[@willfudge8131]

those cedar tops... very underrated

[@simonpalawanmusic]

i wish for this guitar for my birthday! or christmas.. wew!

[@56conn6h]

According to Tak website, the P3NY has Sapele back and sides (not Mahogany) I own this model guitar and I love it!

[@Joeyd123abc2]

Sapele is a type of mahogany, virtually all mahogany used in guitar luthiery is Sapele. Fantastic sound on these guitars, I have the P3D Dreadnought myself and its amazing!!

[@shalalalalaLAlalla]

[@federicoyriart7868]

Hi, what strings do you use in that guitar? 012, 013?

[@assasin101011]

is this good for any kind of genre? or just for classic of what so ever.

[@Rinty145]

This guitar would sound fabulous with a cool tube pre-amp. I wonder is it possible to "special order" one?

[@russell7124]

Guys! Who knows - what mic was used in this video? Label and is it condencer or dynamic? Thanks to everyone! Russell

[@sweetwater]

Hi russell white! The mic used in this video is the Earthworks M30 small-diaphragm condenser microphone. You can get more info on this incredible mic on our site here: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M30. Thanks!

[@russell7124]

SweetwaterSound Thank you guys! All of you are very careful!

[@BonafideToolJunkie]

They pay him well enough where he says each one sounds awesome. lol

[@zatoichiable]

whats the mic you used in this video?

[@Panggor46]

You don't even strike the high E string, how do we know how it sounds overall?

[@kickpublishing]

He literally strikes it every 2 seconds what are you talking about?

[@SimoneRocchi]

Very nice guitar! What's the name of this mic?

[@MartyMartin87]

New York City!!!

[@clebindavioladelta1080]

MartyMartin87 do u have the adress?

[@andrewwhite1046]

This appears to be still available in the UK, I would love one but need to save my pennies!, Hope still available when I have the funds.

[@guitaroidman524]

+Andrew White im getting one for my 18th in a few months, i want it because hozier uses it

[@guitaroidman524]

+Andrew White just got it and its amazing

[@AntonioReymusico]

Hi, I would like to know if the Takamine P3NY is comfortable to play with fingers, solos and bendings etc, or on the other hand it is too hard and the tension offered by the neck is high.

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Antonio. Playing comfort is going to be subjective from person to person. But in general, I would say this would be a great guitar for fingerpicking. It is a 25.3" scale length so bends could feel a bit tight, but with a lighter set of strings and a setup, it could certainly do that, too. The other option would be to go for a guitar with a shorter scale length. Something like a Martin 0-18 would be an example of something in a similar size for shorter neck for easier bending. Thanks for your interest! Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1320, [e-mail]

[@AntonioReymusico]

Thank you very much for your reply. I would like to know if you know of any MARTIN 00 model or salon (parlor) 14fret with slotted headstock type Martin model (another brand) that really offers low tension to the strings and in this way can be really comfortable to play with the fingers? A cordial greeting.

[@derickburke7171]

Very well built guitar. I have the small new yorker and the Headstock is at least as double as thick as my gibson i could throw this thing down the stairs if i felt like it

[@angelitadimaranan9932]

Give it to me instead, lol

[@abd-ix5qd]

Looks? Close.. Tone? No way its gonna be close to Martin.. Just my ear maybe..

[@Corbs_]

I'm looking for the gutair Hozier plays

[@HunterErwinMusic]

This is it I have toured with this guitar for a great while Outstanding

[@clebindavioladelta1080]

What is the address of the store? Would you like to visit?

[@mcdee56]

It's hard to ascertain what strumming sounds like on this guitar...

[@chrismartin500]

cedar tops dont respond well to strumming. They break up and get pretty muddy. Great for fingerstyle though.

[@musicCurator]

Yea with heavy heavy strumming it breaks up or distorts. But, controlled strumming either with fingers or flat pick brings out a very nice character.

[@lucai.8462]

Hey could someone tell me are the sides also SOLID sapele? thanks!

[@BlaklyteTV]

It is not solid sides, I ordered the guitar and it should be in around mid October, if I remember I will come back and let you know what I think about it.

[@TJsCoffeeAdventures]

BlaklyteTV any updates on how it’s been?

[@lucai.8462]

A bit of a late comment here but yeah, I got the guitar about 7 months ago and I have to say I like it. It looks awesome and feels great, easy to play. But it is definitely NOT a strumming guitar. The sound is kind of dull when strumming with a pick, but is still pretty loud. When strumming, the sound is pretty heavy in the mid range and lacks bass and depth. But you really get the best out of this guitar when playing mellow arpeggios with a pick or fingers. The pickup system is very good, sounds awesome through a mediocre PA system and for example a Marshall acoustic amp. Tuner is kind of meh, but it gets the job done, and the onboard EQ is great. Build quality is top of the line, everything is made well and I haven't had any issues with this guitar. My only problem is the lack of depth in the sound when played loudly and strumming. That's actually why I ended up back to this review to see if anyone else agrees with me, I'm thinking of getting another guitar that's more suitable for strumming :D Overall, a really good guitar, but with this price-range you can find many alternatives that have a better depth in the sound. But this is a parlor style, smaller guitar, so it is expected that it isn't as deep sounding as a dreadnought. Please share your opinions with me, I'd love to hear someone else's experiences!

[@kevhwh]

@@lucai.8462 Mine does pretty well with strumming! What strings have you got on?

[@lucai.8462]

Kevin Hoh yeah it does well alright but it doesnt shine on that department imo.. right now I got martin flexible cores on (12), how about u??

[@abd-ix5qd]

Is this solid back?

[@56conn6h]

Yes. Solid Sapele back. Sapele (not solid) sides I own one of these. Buying one of was about the best decision I made.

[@ernestsantiago6700]

Is the back mahogany or saple ?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Ernest! The Takamine P3NY has a solid Sapele back with laminated Sapele back and sides. Feel free to give us a call if you have any additional questions. Thanks! Jozy Franco, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3015

[@ernestsantiago6700]

Sweetwater thanks per the video the gentleman’s states the guitar had mahogany back and sides. I thought it was a different version of the guitar.

[@romysan1]

This guitar is no longer available . Take the ad down.

[@sanctionsoflove1140]

is this equal to 00-28vs guitar?

[@ChrisHillhouse]

No

[@abd-ix5qd]

Looks? Close.. Tone? No way its gonna come close to Martin

[@HunterErwinMusic]

Klazzik77 I have this guitar have played it on the road over 70k miles a year on tour Martin doesn’t exist around this guitar Good grief ! If you owned it it would blow your mind . I really enjoy it Also I have a 12 fret New Yorker Spruce top Outstanding Takamine was the designer of the very first preamp in the acoustic world hard to beat plugged in as well hope you can try a Japan pro shop one day !

[@soundknight]

Why do they call them "Sales Engineer"? Do any of them have a degree?

[@30smsuperstrat]

Wow already discontinued, guess it missed the right price point. Pretty stiff competition in the over $1k market

[@56conn6h]

This guitar is not discontinued. Still in production

[@peaches7487]

Greg Waits oh thank God. I’ve been saving up for months

[@brooklynboy1000]

this guy can make any guitar sound good, especially with the high end mic. doesnt sound amazing. sounds ok.

[@snarklar]

Oh, here we go...

[@56conn6h]

buy better speakers lol

[@tonalambiguity3345]

Why do these demos always have sweet and lush style playing? It’s so overdone and, frankly, cringe at this point. Where is the staccato, percussive (no, not Andy McKee style) and heavy picking? It’s like every guitar player comes off a factory line these days.

[@patrickalaggio3560]

Change the name. Cuomo and DeBlasio have destroyed that moniker.

[@robinpearce6961]

It would be awesome if you didn't keep saying awesome :-)
