PSA: New Yamaha Transacoustic

rossyamaha

Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to introduce you to the new Yamaha Transacoustic.

https://www.facebook.com/YamahaGuitarsOfficial/

In a nutshell, the guitar is an LL/LS 16 so all solid rosewood back and sides, solid spruce top etc. We have now added our patented Transacoustic technology that gives you chorus and reverb without plugging it in. Very difficult to get your head around but easily one of the coolest things I've tried in ages. Picked it up for the first time this morning and everyone in the rooms jaws hit the floor.

The guitar sounds beautiful like you would expect but then you add all the clever stuff on and it sounds amazing. Then you turn it off and immediately want it back on again. We will have them in stores during the summer. Great for messing around at home and great for giggin. Any questions fire away. ;-)

Will the hardware be available for retro fit?

Not heard anything but it's one of them, if enough people want it etc. At the moment we will only be doing it within the LL/ LS16 body.

Given the product name, don't you think that you're missing something by writing to just "Ladies and gentlemen"?

I think this basically gets filed in the "clever shit" box. Most impressive.

I'll probably never want one (I don't do acoustic), but it strikes me that this is probably the only genuinely innovative thing that'll be announced at MM.

Awesome!

Im in the market for a decent acoustic. Any chance of an electro-acoustic variant with a cut away?

Will be interested in trying them out. 

I really miss my Yamaha acoustic, cheapest guitar I owned but never had to worry about humidity like my current guitars.

Treat yourself. It's loads of fun. The guitar is actually electro. Just no cutaway.

If you could do one with delay, that would make my day, ..... Please do a retro fit one!! I would buy one most def,

Looks like a built in Tonewood amp?
