Big room sound in a smaller-bodied guitar through special body design and actuator.

Playing guitar in a great sounding room is the most inspiring, engaging playing experience imaginable—far more enjoyable than in a dry-sounding room, like a lounge, office or den. With a slightly smaller body size and depth than the LL-TA, Yamaha's LS TransAcoustic guitar recreates the incredible experience of playing in a rich, live room without needing any external amplification or effects—just the guitar itself. Whether you’re practicing, writing, recording or just playing for fun, the LS TransAcoustic acoustic-electric guitar will make you play better, longer and with more creativity. Once you’ve experienced it, you may never want to play another acoustic guitar again.

The LS TransAcoustic jumbo concert includes a gig bag.

Actuator

An actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the actuator are then conveyed to the body of the guitar, and to the air in and around the guitar body, generating authentic reverb and chorus sounds from inside the body.

Simple Control

Three simple knobs let you adjust the degree of effect applied and the line out volume level. Additionally, keeping the controls small minimizes the area of the holes in the body material, reducing acoustic sound loss. (A) Chorus Control, (B) Reverb Control (Room/Hall), (C) TA Switch/Line Out Volume Control 
* Pressing the TA Switch for more than 0.3 seconds activates the TA function
* When a cable is connected to the line out jack, the line out volume can be adjusted by rotating the (C) knob
* The reverb type switches from Room to Hall around the 12 o'clock position

New Scalloped Bracing

The body on this LS TransAcoustic Jumbo Concert is an all-solid guitar based on the L-Series. A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L Series’ characteristic bright tone while enhancing the low end. Treating the tops with Yamaha's exclusive A.R.E. process gives the instrument a rich, vintage quality tone, making it sound as though you'd been playing it for years, from the very first moment you pick it up. The fact that this guitar has been designed with an insistence on sound quality is what allows it to produce effected sounds that feels pure and natural.

High Comfortable Playability

Straighter neck taper and hand-rolled fingerboard edges result in an instrument that can be played for hours without any stress. The 5-ply neck design featured in all TransAcoustic guitars is constructed of rosewood and mahogany plies with a double-action adjustable rod, creating a strong, stable neck that resists warping.

Newly Designed Battery Box

The battery box is integrated into the endpin jack. This requires fewer holes in the body, thus reducing acoustic sound loss. Connect the cable from the jack to a PA or amp to use as an acoustic-electric guitar.
