General

More adventurous classical guitarists have been enjoying close-to-flawless Yamaha models for decades. Fitted with the TransAcoustic system, the CG-TA is made for finger-picking as well as Spanish style staccato strummers since, why should only steel-string guitarists get to enjoy pure acoustic amplification? Besides being able to jack this classical electro-acoustic in an acoustic amplifier or PA, this revolution of a preamplification system from Yamaha can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. This guitar is crafted for nylon-string guitarists seeking something a touch more diverse.

The CG-TA TransAcoustic: Chorus and Reverb with No Amp Needed

With the CG acoustic, of course your getting a rich nylon-string acoustic sound, but here, you also get two of the most used and best loved effects built-in. To add an extra dimension to the foundation sound, simply dial in a little chorus and then add a lush tail using one of the two included reverbs. Room reverb adds the light slap of a smaller space while Hall reverb immerses the sound in spacious atmosphere. When things need to get a touch more traditional, the Transacoustic can be disabled by simply pushing in the Line-Out volume knob.

Wrote the following about Yamaha CG-TA TransAcoustic Natural Electro-Acoustic Classical Guitar
I've been playing it for a month now, and love it. It was b-stock but had no signs of use.

I found the fingerboard comfortable - the neck is smooth, the tuners feel classy, it all just feels nice. The original strings were better than the ones I replaced them with, so I've ordered some Yamaha strings from Japan.

As soon as I turned on the transacoustic system I knew I would keep it. Just by adding reverb, it sounds like a more expensive guitar. I also like the chorus for some songs.. instant 80s sound :)

My only criticism would be that the effects accentuate any slight 'wolf notes'. I have tuned down a bit to avoid them, and it sounds sweeter now.

Wat een fantastisch geluid komt hier door het trans akoestische systeem uit. Speelt erg soepel; gewoon met je blote vingers. Eindelijk een goede semi akoestische gitaar met nylon snaren. Heel blij mee.
