Overview

Writing, rehearsing, performing or recording are the situations Yamaha names for this TransAcoustic guitar, which supplies reverb, delay, chorus and a looper without outside equipment. Spruce, mahogany and ebony form the build.

Effects live inside the instrument, so a player can add ambience without pedals or an amp. A rechargeable battery and magnetic charging adapter power the electronics, and Bluetooth is listed. The limitation is that the listing does not state battery life or the scale length unit.

Who it's for

Players who write, rehearse or perform and want effects from the guitar alone. Traditionalists who prefer an acoustic with no battery, or who need stated battery life, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Built-in reverb, delay and chorus

Cons

Performance notes

TransAcoustic effects are generated by the instrument itself, so the sound comes from the guitar body with no external gear. Spruce and mahogany supply the acoustic voice that the effects build on. The rechargeable battery powers the effects and Bluetooth.
