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. Yamaha’s 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 TransAcoustic Guitar will make you play better, longer and with more creativity. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never want to play another acoustic guitar again.

Jon. I picked up an LL-TA a few years ago and love it. I figured even if the electronics crapped out over time it's still a beautiful acoustic guitar. So several months in it developed an annoying vibration sound inside on certain notes. The dealer tried to fix the battery container a couple times but failed. I contacted Yamaha Canada and they right away paid shipping both ways and fixed the noise. But a very small 2" long crack started in the top beside the neck, from shipping across the country. Yamaha without any issue at all sent me a brand new LL-TA no charge or squabble. I'm very impressed with the guitar and the company. It's a keeper. And I really enjoyed hearing you play that one. Chow.
Thank you! Ciao!✌️❤️

@ 1:12 Guitar was recorded with the transacoustic effects
@ 2:58. Guitar was recorded with no effects
I bought one about a year ago, use it allot playing all sort of gigs, big and small. This is a full blown professional guitar, holds tune like no other and just feels and sounds great. Yamaha did a great job with these.
Yes I concur ✌️❤️
I've had one for almost two years and I still love it.
Nice✌️❤️
I bought the LL-TA (Vintage Tint) yesterday. As soon as I hit the first chord I was sold. Bell-like clarity with the kind of depth and warmth you normally only find on guitars costing two or three times what Yamaha are selling for. It hits you in the gut. The sustain is excellent, build quality is top notch, and personally I think they designed this neck specifically for my hands.
The tranAcoustic chorus and reverb just kick the whole thing up another level. I've barely put it down since I got home yesterday and I still can't get over how good it sounds.
Solid pro-level guitar for +/- €1,000 👍
✌️❤️ enjoy!
I have a Yamaha that’s almost 50 years old and it still looks and sounds good. First guitar I ever bought.
yes...the older yamaha are really well built✌🤓
Nice guitar. Love the Sunburst 😍 You play wonderful.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you I've been eyeing this guitar and your playing has made up my mind I gotta have one 😊
Go for it!
Its got clarity and warmth. Pretty thing too. You are the man Jon. Also Jon your production and editing has gotten more slick. I see it.
Thank you Tim!✌🤓
A rich smooth sounding guitar with an without effects.
Yamaha are masters of acoustic guitars at sensible prices.
Anoher one for my lottery win wish list.
Great playing Jonathan, your "magic fingers" make all the difference
Thank you Allan...🤓✌
He Loves Me has an awesome melody! Thanks for reviewing this model. God bless, brother!!
Thank you Mr President 😆✌️❤️
The big ole geek in me really likes this one. It’s another one I was really curious about. It’s beautiful and I love the tone. I always think that Yamaha are always underrated as makers in general. I’ve never played a bad Yamaha cheap or expensive. Thanks very much Jon. 😊👍
definitely my pleasure!!!✌❤
great review and demo, Jonathan!
When I was shopping for my Yamaha LS-TA, the thing that sold me was the sound of the guitar without the effects engaged. It’s crisp, and has a nice balance across the strings. The sustain is wonderful, and the tone is also very nice. I think it’s very “piano-like”.
When I engaged the reverb, it was like I was transported to another world. It’s one of those guitars you don’t want to put down.
I absolutely love my Yamaha, and I know anyone looking into these will love them, too!
I know Yamaha are not ghost built, as they have their own production facilities.
Also, Yamaha was the first to this technology...NOT the Tonewood amp.
The Englemann spruce top is not generally found in acoustics at this price point. It’s generally reserved for much more expensive instruments.
Beautiful song you played, too!
Love you, man!
🐰❤️🎸🎶🤝✌️
you are right...it just sounds really warm...i actually like it✌🤓
Jon, I bought this exact guitar based on this review. I now have had it for about 5 months now. I have never enjoyed any guitar more than this one.
It is so addicting to play, because I love the sound and action. I love the effects with you anywhere, no need to drag an amp and pedals around.
It is wonderful to just take anywhere in the house or out on the patio to just play wherever you want and have the beautiful sound with the effects on board.
It travels with me too, when I make trips to see family for three or four days.
This guitar has inspired me to start playing more often again.
This guitar sounds and plays better than high end guitars that cost three times as much.
Thank you for guiding me this direction.
I’m glad i was able to help✌️❤️
Looks very nice and sounds great!
Thank you✌️❤️
Magic room inside the guitar 🤘🏽Yamaha just does stuff right!
yes...they just do...✌❤
That's some impressive playing! I hope Yamaha makes a 12-string version and it has a soundport on the side!
✌🏻❤️
I have had one of these for 3 years now, such a good guitar and I am sure I turn the TA on for a bit every time I play it, because I can! I had the FG model first, nowhere as nice as the LL, I advise everyone to own one! The TA quit in the first 30 days so I returned it and ordered the LL because I was sold on the TA with that FG.
✌️❤️
I have been a huge fan of these Yamaha TransAcoustic since its inception in 2016. It is such a glorious instrument and the reverb and chorus effects, just adds a nice touch. It is something which can't be explained through words. One has to fully immerse themselves with the instrument to truly understand the nature of the TransAcoustic Guitar. Now if Yamaha introduced a Made in Japan model of the TransAcoustic, I would most definitely, without hesitation, buy that guitar.
Even though it’s china made.. its still a great guitar.. ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Oh yeah. Without a doubt. A brilliant guitar
Although I have not been a big Yamaha guitar fan - this one has warm and rich tone
yep...sounds great acoustically!!!✌❤
I just bought the FG-TA last week, total impulse buy. (Wife was not happy) Edited because now I have more guitars than motorcycles. Whoops! :) Oh well, anyway, I started playing after a 25 year break, of course I totally forgot everything. I found this video, and I love the first song! I also noticed that you pick with your thumb and index finger. I just started doing that a few weeks ago and it the easiest for me. Very cool! New subscriber for sure!
lol Welcome to the channel!!
I have the Ll16d, and I've played this guitar for a month. I feel like these guitars really sound and feel like instruments that cost 2 to 3 times their asking price. I want to give the ac5r deluxe a try now. Nice video, thanks.
My pleasure ✌️❤️
I play mine all the time .great guitar
Nice
I've played this guitar and had a chance to put it up against their Japanese high level guitars. First off, Yamaha was my first accustic guitar and I still have one. But My Martin D-28 is my favorite now.
I found the Trans- Accustic to be a wonderful guitar and the effects are really cool if you play without an amp. But, I still found their top end Japanese guitars to be my favorites.
The wood on them was thinner and resonated better producing a superior sound.
Yes..but i'm really surprised at this china made guitar..even though i was playing through old strings..it still comes off beautifully ✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Yes. A person could not go wrong purchasing this guitar.
Good one john
Thank you brother ✌️❤️
good playing , thanks
Many thanks!✌♥
Thank you✌️❤️
Love it.
Yamaha needs to add the efx and delay to their red label and A and L series high end solid guitars and make cutaway versions
+
This guitar is the purest expression of the Faustian spirit in engineering in recent memory. I bow to the Japanese people, and take off my shoes in the house, every house, from now on.
✌️❤️
Jonathan, you make every guitar you play sound so beautiful . Thank you for sharing your God given talents with others.
Thank you Mark! God Bless!
this one has awesome bass
😀
Great vid. I have a LLTA and love it. I would like to hear your thoughts on the Yamaha SLG200S Silent acoustic
It's an ok guitar to travel with...But i wont use it for my shows..✌♥
I've warched other reviews and yes it sounds pretty well. In the times when I've played at camp fires long ago there were no such possibilities. Now it's too late.....
Thx and stay safe ☮️
lol!!!
We wouldn't get laid playing anyway lol
Lol ... you sure???
@@JonIsJustTooLoud probably lol, i mean the 80s are long gone, now the cool kids listen to Trap and such "stuff".
@@valebliz lol
Jon, I have the same guitar, and really enjoy it. I was changing the strings a couple of days ago when the bridge nut fell out of saddle. When I went to replace it I noticed that the nut sits right on top of the pickup contacts of the saddle. My question is there anything that goes between the bridge nut and the pickup that may have fallen out? The reason I’m asking is the sound of the guitar seems a bit tinny to my ear or am I just imagining this? You are a very accomplished guitarist and your skills really accentuate the beautiful sound of the LLTA. Thx
I did not encounter that experience you had while reviewing the guitar. The guitar did not sound thinny at all ✌🏻❤️
Not a fan of Yamaha acoustic guitars except for their classical guitars, this one sounds interesting!
✌🤓
I tried this guitar personally and i love it..... however the nut width is so small that the strings was so close to each other, i have bog fingers that makes me uncomfortable with this guitars nut width,.... i hope they can make the nut width wider like to that of classical guitar....... if they cant, i will change the neck to a wider one -- customize, but it would be another expense
You can also try changing the nut, failing which.. just go for another guitar ✌️❤️
Hi Jonathan, and thanks for looking at this guitar for the rest of us(not having played one myself)Did I hear you say something about the line out still having the effects on when plugged in?And do they sound the same or similar to the room sound from a
mic' , for example?And I must agree that placement of the tuner LCD is a rare design fumble from Yamaha,and I should say that I always thought Yamaha had the best ears for sound and tone, maybe from making pianos and stuff like that- and until probably ten or so years ago when Asian built acoustics started to sound good, they were , to me before that never quite as warm and rich and natural as Yamaha guitars.Of course now many fine sounding acoustics are made in the Asian factories, but 30 years ago, many just sounded cold or neutral: apart from Yamaha and one or two others.Whether from carefully selected and prepared woods, or digital alchemy, they still sound amazingI think they should come WITH headphones( even basic folding ones as you used to get with the scholtz rockman's) without phones the guitar lacks versatility and ease of use in the everyday setting.Anyway I've gone on too long, so I'll see you on TH-cam again soon!
Its ok Chris thank you for sharing!! For line out, you can still have the efx on.. it will not sound like a mic Ed out guitar..✌️❤️
Question, what software are you using to Picture in Picture video and audio recording?

Hey thanks for the video. How does this guitar hold up in dropped tunings such as open D and C?
It's good!
Thanks for the review. I've often wanted to try one of these, but never really got there. Mostly because I really don't care for onboard acoustic electronics. Old school snob, I guess!
How did you find the sound with bar chords? For some reason, recent Yamahas seem to get muddy with bar chords unless mashed down hard.
Oh that can be fixed by some setting up.. this guitar plays great..✌️❤️
I love the music.Is that your stuff?
Yep!✌❤
How would you compare this guitar with HB CLD-41 acoustically and playability wise?
Very close.. but the Yamaha sounds a tad better ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you Jon! God bless
Playability?.... well for thise who have small fingers, that would be great, but for me who has bigger fingers, i feel quite uncomfortable cause the nut width is so narrow for me. My fingers keep touching other string unintentionally
Hi Jonathan, hope your doing well, having issues with my LL-TA sitting well in the mix, I play acoustic, plugging into venues PA system and I have tried everything to solve it, it sounds awful. Any advise will be most welcomed 😌 ☺
Do you have a Preamp? If you don’t.. get one with EQ a good one is the NUX stageman floor pedal.

the guitar has a built in EQ get the PDF for instructions
I have been looking at this LL series and the FG trans guitars. I am thinking the extra money for the LL very much worth it in the long run. Do you agree?
yep! ✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I ordered this exact guitar today. I am really looking forward to getting it
Got it last weekend. I have been so impressed with the rich sound this guitar produces, with and without the effects. It really has inspired me to play more. It just checks all the boxes for me.
