Concert-Body with solid spruce top, body made of mahogany, System 70 SRT pickup and integrated effects
With the FS-TA, the traditional manufacturer Yamaha offers an inexpensive version of the successful TransAcoustic. This innovative technology allows the player to mix chorus, reverb and acoustic sound without the use of external effects or amplifiers. In addition, Yamaha's own 70 pickup system is available for increased use, which scores with dynamics and natural balance. But the FS-TA TransAcoustic also has a lot to offer acoustically. Accordingly, Concert-Body comes with a solid spruce top on a mahogany body and resonates with clearly defined bass, nuanced mid-range and fine silvery highs. This makes the FS-TA TransAcoustic ideal for fingerstyle and light strumming. In addition, chrome-plated die-cast mechanisms provide tuning stability, while a compensated urea bridge insert ensures clean intonation and a flat string position.

I was looking for a guitar to play with friends at informal sessions and to practice with at home.
This guitar stands up on its own merits sound wide with a large and bright tone. And then you switch on the inbuilt reverb and chorus and you get to play around with soundscapes without need to any external amplifiers or guitar pedals.
Its well built and apart from lowering the action a bit, I have zero complaints.

good service from music store very impressed kept upto date as for the guitar very well built and good sound but action is a little high for my liking but will change the saddle to bone .The trans acoustic works very well and adds some variety to your sound without having to drag amps and pedals ideal for when your noodling on the sofa.would i purchase again definitely yes and with a couple of tweaks this will be a 5star guitar
