The Yamaha FGC-TA TransAcoustic dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric guitar is an innovative instrument that provides an inspiring acoustic experience no matter your location. Yamaha's groundbreaking TransAcoustic technology enables the FGC-TA to generate reverb and chorus effects that resonate from within the guitar itself, immersing you in rich, vibrant tones without needing an amplifier or additional equipment.

TransAcoustic Technology Recreates the Feeling of Playing in an Acoustic Space

Onboard reverb and chorus effects are produced within the guitar's body through Yamaha's revolutionary TransAcoustic technology. You'll feel as though you're playing in a spacious, reverberant environment as lush, layered sounds envelop you, inspiring your creativity. Adjust the reverb and chorus to your liking using the guitar's controls for a customized experience.

Dreadnought Cutaway Design Delivers Powerful Tone and Easy Playability

The FGC-TA features a dreadnought cutaway body shape constructed from mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top which provides a bold, resonant tone. A cutaway design gives you full access to the upper frets. This guitar's fast-action neck and smooth rosewood fretboard further enhance playability.

High-Quality Electronics Provide Versatility

The FGC-TA includes high-quality electronics, enabling you to amplify your acoustic tone when desired. Simply plug into an amplifier or PA system using the guitar's built-in System 70 preamp and SRT Piezo pickup. Shape your amplified tone to suit any musical style or performance venue. Yamaha's FGC-TA TransAcoustic guitar offers maximum tonal versatility and control.

Pleasant Surprise

I hadn't played an acoustic in a while so I went to Guitar Center and was trying random acoustic guitars when I noticed the Trans Acoustic features on this one, it's quite something that you have to hear in person, videos don't do it justice. With this models smaller size I thought the guitar would sound thinner and lack warmth. I was surprised at how well rounded it sounds without the TA on. There's a good amount of depth and clarity without becoming too boomy on the lower notes. Really good allrounder and not overly bright. More of an intimate feel. The neck is easy to play, the action decent, no fret buzz, the cutaway is well designed, and it's a bit on the lighter side. The only nitpicky thing I have is the strings are a bit close together but that didn't stop me from buying it. Yamaha continues to impress me with their guitars. Overall, for the price, this guitar is an excellent allrounder with actually useful built in effects. The Reverb and Chorus both sound good, simple to use, and the fact that you can blend them is awesome. Definitely give it a try!

Yamaha a acoustic

Just tried one. I've been playing 57 years. Still play 4 to 5 times a week. I know a shtload about guitars: woods, set up , frets, truss rod, pickups, blah blah blah. This is one of the worst acoustic electrics I've ever played.

    This thing is so cool. Once you pick it up to play it is hard to put down. The internal effects are awesome and they just make you want to try out different songs and pick out the solos. Battery has lasted surprisingly long. PS- Also sounds great just on its own. Good action and is easy to play. When you trade in a piece of geer they give you 10% off the new purchase.

  • Great tone!

    Such a fun guitar to play with very great sound and feel. I've compared the sound to many taylor's and martins that are more expensive but in my opinion this one sounds better
