General

The Yamaha LL-TA electro-acoustic Dreadnought in Vintage Tint is a steel-string guitar that features TransAcoustic technology, which the brand call 'the acoustic guitar (r)evolution'. This guitar has a solid spruce top that's been treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement). This procedure rapidly ripens the wood under strictly-controlled conditions (temperature, air humidity and air pressure). This gives the overall sound a rich, full character.

Solid Basis

When Yamaha releases a new type of technology, you can be sure rest of the guitar is up to par. Its top is made of solid spruce with A.R.E treatment and the body is made of solid rosewood, resulting in a mix of warm tones and sparkling trebles. The fretboard is made of ebony, a warm-sounding type of wood with a pleasant playing feel. The hardware and electronics include solid machine heads and a System 70 TransAcoustic preamp with corresponding piëzo pickup, all made by Yamaha themselves.

Yamaha TransAcoustic

Being able to play guitar in a room with great acoustics is a fantastic and all too rare experience since houses aren't generally built with acoustics in mind. With Yamaha's TransAcoustic guitars, however, it'll sound like you're playing in a specially-designed concert hall no matter where you are. This is achieved by the use of a digital preamp that produces reverb and chorus effects. If that doesn't sound all that unique, once you find out it does this without the use of an amplifier, you'll realise just how remarkable it is. By sending the signal back into the body instead of an amp, a wonderful acoustic sound with reverb and chorus built-in is right at your fingertips.

Wrote the following about Yamaha LL-TA Transacoustic Vintage Tint Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Dit is een top gitaar die licht speelt. Ook barré akkoorden gaat beter dan ik gewend ben op dit type akoestisch gitaar. Het geluid is bijzonder vol en warm maar ook helder. De body is niet te dik en groot waardoor het voor mij prettiger speelt. Minpuntje is dat er geen straplock op kan. Wel aan de hals kant, maar niet aan de andere zijde. Die zit geïntegreerd bij het batterij klepje.

Wrote the following about Yamaha LL-TA Transacoustic Vintage Tint Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Deze is echt een aanrader. Heb deze gitaar gekocht vanwege mijn goede ervaringen met mijn andere (elektrische en concert) Yamaha gitaren. Ik wilde op zich eerst een Taylor 110e of 110ce maar hoorde en las veel over de minder goede electronica daarvan, dus uiteindelijk viel mijn keuze op deze Yamaha Transacoustic dreadnought size western gitaar. Ik heb onder meer een Taylor 110e, een Guild OM-140CE, een Yamaha A3M, en een Maton EGB TE geprobeerd. Deze gingen om verschillende redenen allemaal terug, maar de Yamaha TA is een blijvertje. Ik sta zelf op het punkt er nog zo een te kopen omdat mijn zon ze niet meer uit zijn handen wil doen.

De stem mechanieken zijn top en de klank van deze all solid body is echt fantastisch mooi en uitgewogen. Wat ik het beste vind is dat je met deze gitaar ook prima kunt soleren omdat de hoge tonen echt vol en krachtig met veel zang overkomen en niet zo dun als dat bij sommige andere steel string gitaren het geval is. De transacoustic electronica van de gitaar zelf (galm en chorus) klingen goed maar gebruik ik heel weinig omdat ik normaliter licht versterkt met een Rolad AC 33 speel en de galm en chorus van deze gebruik. Wat ik verder leuk vind is het 2mm bredere toetsenbord (44mm breed) dan de gemiddelde western gitaar met maar 42mm, wat ik een beetje krap vind omdat ik het toetsenbord van de klassieke gitaar gewent ben. Wat mij aangaande de uitstraling heel goed bevalt is dat de slagplaat transparant is in plaats van donker of zwart kunststof. Hij lijkt hierdoor minder cowboy/western/campfire-achtig, an heeft iets meer van een moderne flair. En de vintage look van het ARE massief bovenblad is ook een echte blikvanger.

Samengevat krijg je hier enorm veel gitaar voor onder de 1000 Euro.

Friday 8 April 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

Of the many new products presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, some, like this new acoustic guitar from Yamaha, are real standouts.

The Yamaha LL-TA dreadnought and the LS-TA triple oh models produce a sound that'll make you think you're playing in a room with great acoustics no matter where you are. And they do this without the need for an amplifier.
