The Yamaha TransAcoustic LL-TA 6-string acoustic-electric guitar is a high-quality instrument that delivers an acoustic experience like no other guitar before. Because the onboard reverb and chorus effects don't require any external amplification, you'll enjoy the tones of playing in a rich and lively acoustic space no matter where you are. The LL-TA is constructed from all solid tonewoods, and the spruce top has even been treated with Yamaha's A.R.E. technology for a broken-in tone. The Yamaha TransAcoustic LL-TA will add new inspiration to your playing.

Expertly crafted acoustic guitar





While the TransAcoustic's electronics deserve acclaim, the guitar is a wonderfully made acoustic instrument in its own right. With a single strum you'll notice the detail and warmth of the guitar's A.R.E.-treated solid spruce top. Yamaha's A.R.E. technology artificially ages the wood, achieving the clarity of tone found on great vintage instruments. The LL-TA's back and sides are crafted from solid rosewood, which imbues the instrument with powerful low and high frequencies. And Sweetwater guitarists agree that the ebony appointments add a touch of class.

Unamplified ambiance





The Yamaha TransAcoustic's calling card is its onboard reverb and chorus effects. What sets them apart from other instruments with onboard effects is that these don't require any external amplification. Engage the effects via the simple-to-use controls, and it's like you're playing in a rich, ambient venue. No amp or PA required. And when it's time for the gig, you can access those same great tones plugged in through the guitar's System70 pickup system.





Yamaha's L body shape





Yamaha's L body style has been an extremely popular take on the famed dreadnought-type acoustic guitar since its introduction decades ago. The design features a wider lower bout that extends the low-end frequencies and projection of the instrument without having to resort to a significantly larger body. The TransAcoustic's LL-TA L body has a bold sound that you'll find equally adept at powerful strumming as it is for flatpicked single-note lines.
