Yamaha LS-TA TransAcoustic Vintage Tint chitarra western elettrificata

Descrizione

The sound of an acoustic guitar being played in a room with great acoustics is hard to beat. Unfortunately, most us of us don't have access to such a room, however, which is where Yamaha's LS-TA Triple Oh electro-acoustic guitar comes in. It features a TransAcoustic system that gives you a wonderful acoustic sound by sending the preamp's signal back into the body of the guitar for reverb and chorus effects without the need for an amp! No wonder Yamaha is referring to this as a (r)evolution in guitar design.

Construction

Naturally, Yamaha weren't going to put their new TransAcoustic technology into any old guitar. The LS-TA has a solid spruce top that 's been treated with Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement process to give it a richer vintage sound. The sides and back are made of solid rosewood to add warmth to the spruce's brightness, resulting in a well-balanced sound, which is completed by a 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck featuring an ebony fretboard. Reverb and chorus effects are down to the System 70 TransAcoustic preamp along with the piezo pickup.

Yamaha TransAcoustic

Being able to play a guitar in a room with great acoustics is a fantastic and all too rare experience. That's because houses aren't really built with acoustics in mind, unfortunately. 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.
