Yamaha | TransAcoustic Guitar | All-in-One Reverb and Chorus Effects


Unamplified ambience





Yamaha's groundbreaking TransAcoustic technology delivers onboard reverb and chorus effects. What sets TransAcoustic guitars apart from other instruments with onboard effects is that they don't require any external amplification. Engage the effects via the simple-to-use controls, and it's like you're playing in a rich, ambient venue ? no amp or PA required. And when it's time for the gig, you can access those same great tones plugged in through the guitar's System70 SRT Piezo pickup system.





How it works





The key to TransAcoustic is an integrated actuator, a small device hidden inside the guitar. The vibration of the instrument's strings causes the actuator to vibrate; these vibrations are transmitted to the guitar body, as well as the air around the guitar. The result is authentic reverb and chorus ? without the need for any additional amplification or effects.

Guitarists at Sweetwater love Yamaha's FSC series guitars. It's not hard to see why they are worldwide best sellers: the comfortable concert-size cutaway body, professional-grade tonewoods, and fast-playing necks make these acoustics great first instruments for beginners and a solid second for seasoned players who need an extra acoustic for the stage or to play around the house.
