A Truly One-of-a-kind Acoustic Experience

The Yamaha FGC-TA TransAcoustic acoustic-electric guitar is a high-quality instrument that delivers an acoustic experience like no other guitar before it. With Yamaha's onboard TransAcoustic reverb and chorus effects, you'll enjoy the tones of playing in a rich and lively acoustic space no matter where you are. The FGC-TA features a dreadnought cutaway body with mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. You'll love the feel of this guitar's fast-action neck and smooth, bound rosewood fingerboard. The Yamaha FGC-TA TransAcoustic will add new inspiration to your playing.

Unamplified ambience

Yamaha's groundbreaking TransAcoustic technology delivers onboard reverb and chorus effects. What sets TransAcoustic guitars apart from other instruments with onboard effects is that they 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 + SRT Piezo pickup system.

How it works

The key to TransAcoustic is an integrated actuator, a small device hidden inside the guitar. The vibration of the instrument's strings causes the actuator to vibrate; these vibrations are transmitted to the guitar body, as well as the air around the guitar. The result is authentic reverb and chorus — without the need for any additional amplification or effects.

Yamaha's best-selling FGC series

Guitarists at Sweetwater love Yamaha's FGC series guitars. It's not hard to see why they are worldwide best sellers: the comfortable dreadnought bodies, professional-grade tonewoods, and fast-playing necks make these acoustics great first instruments for beginners and solid seconds for seasoned players who need an extra acoustic for the stage or to play around the house. Not to mention, the western cutaway gives it a classic look. Plus, it offers better access to the upper frets, so reaching higher notes when soloing has never been easier.

Yamaha FGC-TA TransAcoustic Dreadnought Guitar Features:

  • A value-packed acoustic-electric with smooth playability and sophisticated onboard tech
  • SRT zero-impact pickup
  • Comfortable dreadnought cutaway body with tapered waist fits all players
  • Solid spruce top is full and balanced

This Guitar is a game changer!

The Yamaha TransAcoustic is so much fun to play. The first time you use the echo and chorus it will forever change how you hear acoustic guitars. It makes it hard to go back to a standard acoustic after hearing this one. Love the Brown-Sunburst color and all hardware seems to be top quality. Setup was pretty good right out of the box but I use a little thinner 11-52 strings. Very happy with this purchase and I love letting friends play it and then switching on the electronics and see the look on their faces :)

Yamaha FGC-TA TransAcoustic Dreadnought Guitar - Brown Sunburst

Ordered the FGC-TA "B" online. John C. called to go over the order: explained "B" condition as refurbished and certified, when the order was going to be processed, delivery times, etc. Everything John talked about was true to form. Guitar arrived on time, over packaged ( really protected the guitar as the outer boxing was a little chewed up, guitar was in pristine shape, functioned as promised, and even had a little extra, the optional strap button on the cut-away horn.

Very pleased, and will shop Sweetwater again when the occasion arises.

Decent guitar

I like it and will keep it. Had to send first one back due to odd buzz on one string. The electronics are OK but it's not a big reason for my purchase. The scale length on this guitar is so much different compared to my Takomine. I debated trying to return it and getting a Taylor but buying online can be a hassle. I never feel like it's right to send one back just because the Taylor might be better.
Music background: self taught guitar for almost 50 years..
