This dreadnought guitar delivers rich, immersive sound without external amplification, making it a must-have for creative professionals who want inspiring tone and effortless control in one vintage-tinted package. ## Description The Yamaha Trans Acoustic guitar recreates an incredible experience without needing any external amplification or effects, just the guitar itself. With built-in reverb and chorus at your fingertips, it's the most inspiring, engaging acoustic guitar you'll ever play. Review: Solid purchase. Guitar well crafted but heavier than usual. - Beautiful sounding guitar. And stellar appearance. The fretted notes really resonate. One slight drawback for less physical players. It's a heavy guitar. Compared to my previous Yamahas which never disappoint. Review: More than just a gimmick - 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 desertcart doesn't allow it cause desertcart is going to desertcart. 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. ## Features - Amazing sounding reverb and chorus built into the Guitar with no need for external amplification or effects - An actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings - Three simple knobs let you adjust your amount of effects and the line out volume level - The Guitar Body is based on Yamaha FG820, with a solid Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides - SYSTEM70 Trans Acoustic Preamp with a SRT Piezo Pickup ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0795VSCZ2 | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,821 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #37 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Vintage Tint | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 104 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00889025112536 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Piezo | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Instrument | guitar | | Instrument Size | Dreadnought | | Item Dimensions | 43 x 6.5 x 21 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 43"L x 6.5"W x 21"H | | Item Type Name | Acoustic-Electric Guitar | | Item Weight | 7.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Yamaha PAC | | Manufacturer Part Number | FG-TA VT | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | FG-TA Transacoustic | | Model Number | FG-TA VT | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 889025112536 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty yamaha corporation of america (yamaha) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into every product we represent.
