Takamine GY51E-BSB Parlor Sunburst Spruce/Walnut A/E Acoustic - No Bag/Case

Mint condition display guitar, never sold or left the shop. All guitars receive a pro setup and setup checklist.

The Takamine GY51E is a parlor-sized acoustic with plenty of charm for fingerstyle players and coffeehouse troubadours. Parlor guitars first caught on around the turn of the 20th century as home-entertainment instruments, built for living rooms rather than stages. Later, blues players and fingerstylists embraced them for their quick response, punchy voice, and intimate feel—a tradition players like Keb’ Mo’ and Geoff Muldaur have helped keep alive. The GY51E leans into that heritage with a compact body, a solid spruce top, and black walnut back and sides that deliver a focused, lively tone. Its traditional slotted headstock adds a bit of extra string pressure at the nut, helping open strings ring with clarity and detail. Takamine’s TP-4TD electronics are practical and player-friendly, with a 3-band EQ, built-in tuner, and a top-mounted battery compartment for easy swaps.

The GY51E is a fun, responsive guitar that sounds bigger than you’d expect. Whether you’re picking on the couch or heading to a coffeehouse set, it looks sharp, plays easily, and delivers a lot of guitar for the money.
