Yamaha has a reputation for great, affordable guitars, but the new TransAcoustic is something special
Yamaha’s lineup of TransAcoustic guitars combines superb build quality with cool built-in effects.
I sampled a concert-size FS-TA that sells for about $940.
The Yamaha FS-TA features onboard reverb and chorus effects.
I was reminded of this last year when Yamaha loaned me one of its new TransAcoustic guitars to sample.
It was an FS-TA model, which is a “concert” size instrument, smaller than the familiar dreadnought.
Cost? About $940 — on the high side for a beginner guitar, but a sweet spot for more experienced players.
My tester arrived in an attractive brown sunburst finish, which definitely encourages some old-school blues picking.
