Yamaha LL-TA TransAcoustic Brown Sunburst Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0025-9216 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Yamaha's TransAcoustic technology has made the leap from acoustic pianos to acoustic guitars. It makes the guitar sound like you're playing it in a specially-designed concert hall no matter where you are. In addition to this (r)evolutionary piece of technology, this LL-TA Dreadnought in Brown Sunburst is an impressive instrument in its own right. It has a solid spruce top that's been treated with Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement process. This process involves ageing the wood under strictly controlled temperature, humidity and air pressure conditions. The result of this process is an instrument that sounds richer and fuller.

Solid Construction

Naturally, Yamaha weren't going to put their new TransAcoustic technology into any old guitar. That's why they chose this LL-TA Brown Sunburst model with its traditional specifications. The body is made of rosewood to add a warm sound to the sparkling trebles of the spruce top. For the fretboard, ebony adds warmth to the high tones and offers a very pleasant feel when playing too. The string nut and bridge saddle are made of top-quality urea resin, which is known for its superb shape retention. Yamaha has used its own hardware and electronics on the LL-TA including the System 70 TransAcoustic preamp with piezo pickup.

Yamaha TransAcoustic

Being able to play a guitar in a room with great acoustics is a fantastic and all too rare experience. That's because houses aren't really built with acoustics in mind, unfortunately. With Yamaha's TransAcoustic guitars, however, it'll sound like you're playing in a specially-designed concert hall no matter where you are. This is achieved by the use of a digital preamp that produces reverb and chorus effects. If that doesn't sound all that unique, once you find out it does this without the use of an amplifier, you'll realise just how remarkable it is. By sending the signal back into the body instead of an amp, a wonderful acoustic sound with reverb and chorus built in is right at your fingertips.

Mooie gitaar! Ik heb 4 elektrische gitaren en 3 akoestische. Deze Yamaha is een supermooie aanvulling , speelt lekker (hoewel ik even aan de grote klankkast moest wennen) en als je het TA systeem inschakelt heb je het gevoel op een 12 snarige te spelen. Mooie sound. Op het moment speel ik er elke dag wel even op (wat niet voor alle andere gitaren geld). Kortom: een aanrader.

Por Dios wat een geweldige gitaar! Ik heb op dit moment zeven gitaren. Twee bassen, twee akoestische en twee elektrische. Als ik er één zou moeten uitkiezen om mee te nemen naar een onbewoond eiland is het deze. Het is bij lange na niet mijn duurste gitaar en ook niet mijn goedkoopste, maar wel de gitaar die het fijnst speelt. Hij ziet er goed uit, is heel netjes afgewerkt met subtiele details zoals het parelmoer in de 'dots'. Hij klinkt fantastisch. Het feest wordt nog mooier als je het TA systeem inschakelt. Dan heb je een gitaar die onder alle omstandigheden fantastisch klinkt. Het eerste wat ik elke dag doe is deze gitaar oppakken en en er even op spelen. Hij (of is het een zij?) vraagt er als het ware om. Ik speel elke dag wel minstens een uur op deze gitaar. De mijne was een B-stock met een forse beschadiging van de lak op de klankkast, dat doet echter niets af aan de kwaliteit van deze gitaar en het plezier dat ik eraan beleef. Echt een aanrader. Als je in je leven maar een gitaar koopt, koop dan deze. Als je er meerdere hebt dan kan/mag deze niet aan je verzameling ontbreken.

Très content de mon achat. Après avoir hésité, le produit du stock B était en parfait état. Zéro défaut et j'ai bénéficié d'un prix avantageux.

Musikmesse 2016: Yamaha TransAcoustic - Revolutionary

Friday 8 April 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

Of the many new products presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, some, like this new acoustic guitar from Yamaha, are real standouts. Yamaha themselves refer to the TransAcoustic system as revolutionary and it's not hard to see why. The Yamaha LL-TA dreadnought and the LS-TA triple oh models produce a sound that'll make you think you're playing in a room with great acoustics no matter where you are. And they do this without the need for an amplifier.
