Yamaha LS-TA Transacoustic Brown Sunburst Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0025-9342 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

An unamplified acoustic guitar's sound relies heavily on the acoustics of the room it is being played in and unfortunately, most rooms don't have great acoustics. That's precisely where Yamaha's (r)evolutionary TransAcoustic system comes into play. The LS-TA features a special preamp that sends the signal back into the body of the guitar giving you a wonderful acoustic sound with reverb and chorus effects without the use of an amp!

Construction

The sound produced by the solid spruce top on this Triple Oh Brown Sunburst model is optimised by Yamaha's A.R.E process. Spruce is known for its bright sound with tight bass and clear treble. Warmth and depth are added by the use of rosewood for the sides and back of the guitar. An ebony fretboard adds even more warmth to the sound and gives the LS-TA a high level of playing comfort too.

Yamaha TransAcoustic

Yamaha's TransAcoustic guitars make it 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. 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. The LS-TA Triple Oh and LS-TS Dreadnought models by Yamaha are the first models to feature this amazing technology.

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.
