So, what is a TransAcoustic guitar?

Simply put, the TransAcoustic range has grown steadily to become one of the best and most popular acoustic guitar ranges on the market today.

First released in 2016, Yamaha achieved what many staunch traditionalists thought was an impossible task … they combined technologic ingenuity with over five decades of acoustic building experience to create a guitar that both excels as a straight up acoustic instrument, whilst also offering inbuilt digital effects. Crucially, the inbuilt effects in TransAcoustic are only those that are genuinely useful for acoustic playing. They are eminently usable, sound professional, and offer practical benefits to even the most seasoned of players.

Unlike a lot of recent newcomers to the world of acoustic guitar (purporting to modernise the instrument), Yamaha have kept true to their heritage and core musical roots with TransAcoustic. First and foremost, they have built a guitar that sounds, looks and feels amazing for the price. The addition of Reverb, Chours and Delay effects was engineered inside the guitar to not compromise its quality as an acoustic instrument. What you have, therefore, is a guitar that perfectly blends technological innovation with traditional guitar building values.

Perhaps what has helped TransAcoustic establish itself in this regard is Yamaha’s trusted reputation and track record in developing musical instruments the right way. For example, The Yamaha TransAcoutic Piano range came out two years before guitar, so only once the concept had been tried and tested did the guitar line emerge. In this way, Yamaha can be trusted to innovate new products which always put the musician’s needs first.
