Sounds, looks and feels great, great value !
I mainly play electric and I bought this guitar to replace a Taylor 414-ce which I sadly had to give away. Now I am not claiming that this guitar is better or as good. If you have ever tried multiple acoustic guitars then you will know that there is a more direct relation between price and quality than with electrics.
The Taylor was in almost every aspect the better guitar, smell, feel and sound, but we are talking about a guitar that costs around 2500 USD new.
Because I only needed a single acoustic guitar, I have specific requirements: under 1000 USD, must sound and feel great and be very versatile. I tried enough acoustics to know that Yamaha makes wonderful guitars in the under 1000 $ category. I had the opportunity to try out the Transacoustic system on the Dreadnought model in person, and it is a game-changer. I ordered the concert model here on Sweetwater which is the closest to the Tayor GA line available from Yamaha. The Ruby Red color is an eye catcher.
My experience so far: First of all, Sweetwater did a great job with the preparation and shipping, the guitar arrived safely and you get photos from the 55 point inspection.
Now about the guitar, my first attention was to the tuners, those work well, my guitar was able to hold the tuning for a few hours even with the fresh Elixir strings from the factory (every acoustic guitar should come with those).
The guitar smells like a regular new acoustic, the glue is quite prominent, and here is an obvious difference to premium guitars: Those smell like the wood they are made out of. The neck feels good, and has a matte finish, which is great when you move around the neck a lot. I also had no problems getting my thumb to wrap around for muting and fretting. The sound without the TA system engaged is balanced I'd say, a good quality sound, but nothing that really stands out.
The Transacoustic system is when the advantages become apparent: The reverb makes you sound like you are in a performance, there are settings for Room and Hall, but I generally prefer the lower Room reverb setting. The chorus turns this guitar into a 12-string guitar without the hassles of a 12 string. Yamaha nailed it, Reverb and Chorus are the 2 effects that enhances every acoustic guitar.
Alternatively I was thinking about getting a Tonewood amp, but if I wanted to get a Yamaha anyways, then this is the better integrated choice.
Overall a great value, great quality guitar that motivates the owner to practice and play more by means of an enhanced sound experience and that is what it's all about, right ?
I LOVE IT
Ived always wanted one of these back when it was only around the 1k prices, now they release these models, I got to get my hands on them. It arrived fast, and my heart just filled with joy when i finally unbox this beauty. It sounds amazing, especially the gadgets built in it. I was somewhat worried bout the size at first, thought it might be one of the large body type of acoustic, but thankfully its just the right size for me. Thank you -Dustin Keesbury- with your help on this Guitar.
