General

Yamaha's FS guitars have a more compact body and a bright, balanced tone without too much bass. Its dynamic, sparkling sound is partially due to the solid spruce top and newly-designed scalloped bracing so the top can resonate more freely for an extra-rich sound. The wood types used in the body, the nato neck and rosewood fretboard and bridge add a dose of warmth and creaminess to the overall tone of this FS-TA guitar. What really sets the TransAcoustic apart from the original FS range is its built-uiin reverb and chorus. You don't even need to amplify this steel-string guitar to hear these effects while playing!

FS-TA: TransAcoustic actuator and more

Under the bonnet of this Yamaha FS-TA, there's am actuator that vibrates along with the strings as you play to create the chorus and reverb effects, regardless of the guitar is amplified or not. Using the controls on the side, you can determine how spacious you want your FS concert flat top to sound. Access the TransAcoustic system by holding down the volume control and use the first two controls to tweak your sound or mix in the effects. When you want to amplify your favourite effect setting, that's where the System70 preamp comes in. Finally, when the AA batteries need replacing, you'll find the compartment behind the back strap button, which also functions as a mono jack output for your instrument cable.
