Sound & Tone
The solid spruce top over three-piece black walnut and maple back and sides gives this dreadnought a warm, articulate voice with strong projection and a clear top end, while the 25.4" scale adds definition and note separation to strummed chords. The 1.6875" nut width and 12" fingerboard radius leave room for fingerstyle work without sacrificing comfort for flatpicking, and the cutaway opens up the upper frets for melody lines and lead passages. Plugged in, the TK-40D preamp's active bass, middle, and treble sliders let you shape the amplified sound for stage or recording, making it a practical fit for left-handed players covering folk, country, and singer-songwriter material.
Takamine GD93CE Acoustic Electric Lefty Guitar Natural Finish
This left-handed dreadnought delivers a balanced, responsive feel with its solid spruce top and carefully voiced body. The natural gloss finish reveals the wood's grain while the cutaway design provides comfortable access to upper frets. Built for recording and mixing sessions where you need both acoustic character and studio-ready amplification without compromise.
Tone & Electronics
The solid spruce top paired with three-piece black walnut/maple back and sides produces warm, articulate tone with good projection and clarity through mics or direct input. The onboard Takamine TK-40D preamp includes a tuner, gain knob, and active shelving EQ with bass, middle, and treble sliders—giving you full control over amplified tone in the mix, whether you're tracking acoustic parts or layering textures in post-production.
Playability & Build

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included with the GD93CE, and how does the onboard preamp work?
The guitar includes a Takamine TK-40D preamp with built-in tuner, gain control, and active 3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble sliders) for precise amplified tone shaping. It runs on a single 9V battery and uses a standard endpin jack connection.
Is this guitar suitable for fingerstyle playing?
Yes—the 12" fingerboard radius, 1.6875" nut width, 20 frets, and responsive mahogany neck with laurel fingerboard are designed to support both fingerstyle and flatpicking comfortably across all registers.
How does the left-handed configuration affect playability compared to right-handed models?
The GD93CE is built from the ground up as a true left-handed instrument, with all hardware (tuning machines, bridge, nut) positioned and oriented correctly for left-handed players; playability is identical to right-handed counterparts.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The GD93CE excels in folk, worship, fingerstyle, and studio sessions, and handles live performance well; it is not designed for metal or djent styles.
How does amplified tone compare to acoustic tone?
The TK-40D preamp preserves the guitar's acoustic character while providing stage-ready amplification through active EQ control; you can dial in tone for any venue without coloration of the core warm, articulate acoustic voice.
