## 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: 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.
Review: Amazing Sound - Quality workmanship, the Dreadnought sounds bright, loud and crisp without the effects, when you engage the reverb and chorus it's how I always wanted my guitar to sound and I can take it anywhere. Played easy right out of the box, was set up well but I lowered the string action by removing material from the saddle as Im learning most guitars generally come set with high action and need to be adjusted to user preferences. I'm a Yamaha fan now, and they are reasonably priced, great value. It's hanging on my wall so It's easy to grab and Jam. For the money thw ll-ta is worth it ,,nice bag, solid wood and ARE wood aging is legitimate, I have the f series to take camping and tuned to DADGAD and the ll-ta for home ,both are nice but the ll-ta sounds and looks better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar for the money
*by J***P on April 12, 2022*

I have a pile of guitars and I do my own set up and minor repairs.. This was perfectly set up out of the box. Good tone and strong projection. The only thing I didn't like is there is no indicator light to tell you if the electronics are on.. seems odd to exclude that. Otherwise is a great instrument.
