YAMAHA: Transacoustic

Playing guitar in a great sounding room is the most inspiring playing experience imaginable – far more enjoyable than in a dry-sounding room like a lounge or office. Yamaha’s TransAcoustic Guitar recreates the incredible experience of playing in a rich, live room without needing any external amplification or effects – just the guitar itself. Whether you’re practicing, writing, recording or just playing for fun, the TransAcoustic Guitar will make you play better, longer and with more creativity. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never want to play another acoustic guitar again.

Actuator

An actuator is installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the actuator are then conveyed to the body of the guitar and to the air in and around the guitar body, generating authentic reverb and chorus sounds from inside the body.

Simple Controls

Three simple knobs let you adjust the degree of effect applied and the line-out volume level. Additionally, keeping the controls small minimizes the area of the holes in the body material, reducing acoustic sound loss.

Battery Box

Battery box integrated into the end-pin jack. This requires fewer holes in the body, thus reducing acoustic sound loss. Connect the cable from the jack to a PA or amp to use as an Electro-Acoustic Guitar.

Designed to provide superb acoustic guitar sound

The body with the solid top of the instrument is based on the particular model. A modified non-scalloped bracing design enhances the low end with retaining the bright tone. Some models have the tops treated with Yamaha’s exclusive A.R.E. process gives the instrument a rich, vintage quality tone.
