Comfortable, Versatile and Ready for Every Stage of Your Musical Journey

Finding a quality left-handed acoustic guitar can be challenging, especially for newer players. The Takamine GLN12ENSLH solves that problem with a thoughtfully designed body shape, shorter scale length and reliable onboard electronics, creating an instrument that's comfortable to play and rewarding to learn on.

Built around Takamine's popular NEX body shape, this guitar combines the projection and fullness of a dreadnought with a more comfortable waist and body profile. The result is an instrument that sits naturally against the player while still delivering impressive acoustic volume and resonance.

The shorter 630mm scale length reduces string tension, creating a softer playing feel that's easier on the fingers while producing a warm, balanced tone. Combined with the slim satin-finished mahogany neck, it's a guitar that encourages longer practice sessions and faster progress.

When it's time to plug in, the built-in Takamine TP-3G preamp system provides reliable stage-ready performance with onboard EQ controls and a built-in tuner.

Our Take

This is one of those guitars that feels effortless, particularly for developing players.

The combination of the NEX body shape and shorter scale length creates an instrument that's noticeably more comfortable than many traditional dreadnoughts. The reduced string tension makes chords easier to fret and helps minimise finger fatigue, which can be a real advantage for beginners or players with smaller hands.

We also like that Takamine hasn't treated this as simply a beginner's guitar. The onboard TP-3G electronics provide everything most players need for rehearsals, church services, school performances and live gigs, making it a guitar that can continue growing with the player long after those first lessons.

For left-handed players wanting a comfortable acoustic-electric from a trusted brand, the GLN12ENSLH offers a thoughtful combination of playability, tone and value.
