Frequently Asked Questions
How do the TransAcoustic effects work without an amplifier?
The guitar uses an actuator attached to the inside of the body that vibrates the soundboard itself, producing reverb and chorus effects acoustically through the guitar's top — no external speakers or amplifiers needed.
Can I adjust the intensity of the reverb and chorus effects?
Yes. Simple onboard controls let you blend the effect levels to taste, from subtle ambiance to a more pronounced effect, all while playing unplugged.
Does this guitar also work as a standard acoustic or with a PA system?
Absolutely. You can turn the effects off entirely and play it as a conventional acoustic guitar, and it also includes a pickup system for plugging into an amplifier or PA when needed.
What body shape is the FSC-TA?
It uses Yamaha's concert-size body with a cutaway, which is slightly smaller than a dreadnought. This makes it comfortable for extended playing while still producing a balanced, resonant tone.
What tonewoods are used in this guitar?
The top is solid spruce for clarity and projection, with mahogany back and sides for warmth. The neck is nato with a rosewood fretboard.
