Product Rating Product Review Consistently makes first time listeners, look around, trying to 'find' where that sound is coming from. The effects are not gimmicky but true chorus & reverb. Sets itself apart from other acoustic electric guitars in that it sounds great not plugged in. Bass strings give rich, deep strong sound, while not sacrificing the bright highs, and vocal accompanying mids. Action and playability was great on arrival, so no need for a setup, and stays in tune consistently. Absolutely buy this guitar and thank me later!

Product Review I love it. Yamaha owns the under $1000 price range. I have no reservations that this is a great acoustic. Playability and tone are wonderful. Yamaha acoustic guitars always make me sound better than I am. The on-board actuator with reverb and chorus are icing on the cake of a already great instrument.

Product Review Some context: I'm primarily a flatpicker and play mostly bluegrass and fiddle tunes. The FGTA was set up perfectly and IS a really gorgeous instrument. The sunburst with clear pickguard and white binding is classic. I set mine up with D'Addario 12/56 light top medium bottom phosphor bronze and play with a bluechip CT55. It is impressive and especially with a slight reverb as if playing in a stairwell. Intonation is excellent and it plays well capoed and open. Excellent buy and a great instrument all around especially at this price point. AMS made it happen!!

Product Review This is by far my favorite acoustic guitar. I had not been playing as much as I used to, but this guitar has completely reinvigorated my desire to play. The built in effects sound so much better than can be described. Guaranteed to impress anyone you play for. Hell, it it will impress you. Excellent construction great action right out of the box. Excellent sound even without the on board electronics turned on. Very comfortable to play even for a full sized dreadnought body. You will not be disappointed.

Exactly What I needed

Product Review I've been in need of a new acoustic guitar for quite some time now. I did a lot of research and found a lot of different types in styles of guitars. I've been stumbled across this Yamaha acoustic. I've played every single day for a couple months now and I have written maybe 22 songs on it. My old one was great but this 1 feels like it takes my playing to a new level because of how it feels how it sounds and how it plays. The set up upon receiving it was amazing and felt great the look of it is great the sound of it is great and you won't regret buying it. Not to mention the onboard effects that use the chamber of the guitar as the effect is pretty cool and blows people's minds whenever I turn it on and use it. It's still impresses me every single time I picked his guitar up and play it you won't regret buying it ever.

Product Review I bought this guitar to primarily play in my living room. If you're like me, and are looking for something that is easy to just 'grab and play' without the need to set up an amp or pedals or anything.....this guitar is perfect!! If you're primarily an acoustic guitar player, this guitar is perfect for living rooms, small venues, and open mics and such. The built in chorus and reverb sound fantastic!! Thus, no need to bring a 'complete setup'.....just the guitar. If you're primarily an electric guitar player, this guitar rocks! If you need a simple acoustic whether for practicing or for performances that require an acoustic guitar for just a couple/3 songs....again, the built in effects are awesome on their own, and the playability is superb as well. This guitar is absolutely fantastic!!

Product Review I haven't had a chance to try out the electric plug in but just the controls being played as acoustic give such a nice sound with the course and the reverb I can imagine that once it's plugged in it will sound really great I tried a few electric acoustic before and this guitar is super.

Product Review I love this guitar. I originally ordered the $1,000 one, it was backordered. I got this one instead and it's awesome. Good setup, and feel right out of the box. The only thing, I dont like...and it's a small thing is the tiny frets. Other than that I have zero complaints and I haven't even plugged it into an amp. If you have guitar player friends this thing will baffle them with the sounds it can produce.

Product Review Great sounding guitar. Very bright the finish is fantastic. Only issue I had like most guitars in the nut at the top had to be filed a little bit along with the fretboard other than that great mid level guitar!

Product Review I've always like a yamaha acoustic. I've even had a 12 string yamaha. But this is just plain fun. It's like having all the pedals or a soundboard built right in. It gives you the joy and inspiration to create. It brings life to a simple progression and makes you think and feel about what you love to play. It adds a whole new dimension to playing on the guitar. If you write songs or want to do so. This is the acoustic you want to feel and dream again.

Product Review Great playing guitar right out of the box. Very nice and balanced sound. Should sound even better as it is played in and ages. I don’t think you can ask for more, especially at this price point. Enjoying the transacoustic electronics as well but the guitar sounds just fine as is. Solid spruce top,scalloped bracing and new electronics what more do you want, great job Yamaha. Thanks AMS for the easy payment plans.
