Yamaha's TransAcoustic Guitar simulates the feeling of playing in a live room without the need for external amplification or effects - just the guitar itself. Whether you're practicing, writing, recording or just playing for fun, the TransAcoustic Guitar makes you feel better, longer and more entertaining play more creative. Once you've experienced it, you'll never want to play another acoustic guitar again.The pickupA piezo pickup installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the pickup are then transmitted to the body of the guitar and to the air in and around the guitar body, creating authentic reverberation and chorus sounds from within the body.Easy handlingThree simple controls let you adjust the level of applied effect and the line-out volume level. In addition, by minimizing the size of the holes in the body material, the acoustic noise loss is reduced.Ingenious body shapeThe body is a solid top guitar based on the FG series. Smoother and stronger low to midrange sound thanks to the innovative acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R & D division.This analysis led to the development of the new scalloped bracing pattern, a new and ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top plate and at the same time produces the best sound of the Yamaha FG-TA.New battery boxA battery box is already integrated in the end pin socket. This requires fewer holes in the body and thus reduces the acoustic loss of sound. Connect the cable from the jack to a PA or amplifier to use as an acoustic electric guitar.featuresTransAcoustic seriesBody shape: Traditional WesternTop: solid spruceNew scalloped bracing for more bass and harmonic overtonesBack & sides: mahoganyBody Binding: CreamRosette: Black & WhiteNeck: NatoFingerboard: RosewoodFretboard radius: 400 mmScale: 650 mmNut width: 43 mmSaddle & saddle: ureaBridge: RosewoodTuner: Die-cast Chrome (TM29T)Pickguard: TransparentElectronics: SYSTEM70 TransAcoustic + SRT Piezzo PickupControls: Reverb, Chorus, TA-Switch, Line Out, VolConnections: Line OutStrings: Yamaha FS50BT or D'Addario EXP11Color: Brown SunburstFinish: Gloss
