Yamaha FG-TA Transacoustic Guitar w/Chorus and Reverb, Black

Great product at a great price

five star. all the way across the board. the sound is cosmic like. Cosmo music is especially a great company to deal with. thank you.

This actually sounds as advertised (which is rare these days). Pros: - Sound is balanced with or without actuator, I have no trouble bringing out the low end the mids or high just by emphasizing my strumming or picking rather than having to rely on an amp etc. - Play-ability of the neck and fret board works well; the width and profile depth of the neck are comfortable for folks who do not have long fingers - Cost is quite reasonable for the quality (even without it being 'Trans Acoustic') - The actuator actually works; meaning without amping up, I can get reverb and chorus and control it. It is creatively fun to play this thing Cons: - The true con of this is that there are no models that have the option for a cutaway which is a shame because this guitar wants you to come up to the upper registers once in a while; the lack of cutaway may have to do with the bracing and electric gear and a cutaway may compromise the sound quality past a threshold Yamaha didn't want but still, such a shame - No built in tuner; yes we can use clip on tuners but it seems odd to have the gear in place but omit the tuner - suspect this is due to the AA battery choice... Nitpick - AA batteries tend not to last as long as 9-volt. Oddly, Yamaha makes a big deal about how hard it is to find 9-volt. Perhaps in some countries but in the U.S. they are everywhere other batteries are sold. This is, by itself, not a con for me but rather a minor annoyance. I do not use the actuator for every song I play and for me the battery life appears to be about 1 month. It is what it is. So why 5-stars then? Truly I would give this a 4.5 star rating for lack of cutaway and battery choice but amazon doesn't allow it cause amazon is going to amazon. This said, the reason for 5 star rating is that even when I don't have the electronics going this guitar sounds great. Disclaimer; I have this tuned to drop C to which my ear prefers over E standard. However, I suspect similar experience for Standard tuning. Also, I write songs and I have to admit this actuator is more than just a gimmick. For me at least this enables and encourages creativity and that alone is worth a 5 star rating.

Buena construcción, materiales de primera, el acabado impecable. En cuanto al sonido, tiene un volumen impresionante, bajos potentes y agudos cristalinos. El perfil del cuello es fantástico. El sistema Transacoustic es una maravilla, aunque no es necesario para disfrutar esta gran guitarra. Ya llevo muchos meses con ella y ni una falla. Solo ojo, el precio a veces lo inflan demasiado, comparenlo con el precio en dólares para no pagar demás.

The guitar looks handsome and even better in reality. This guitar has exceeded my expectations. The reverb and chorus effects take it to another level, giving it a depth and richness that you’d expect from a more expensive instrument. It really deliver superb sound. Gotten this at a very good price. It's an incredible value!. ( The action is set a bit high, but it can be easily adjusted to your preference)
