    Yamaha Transacoustic - anyone tried it?

    Just curious if anyone has tried one of these in person? How did it sound? Any idea how they get chorus without an amp??

    Does this mean we'll have to start listing the pronouns of our acoustic guitars now?

      Most guys already call them she/her, so there's that.

        In all seriousness, it's an interesting idea (who doesn't occasionally want to transform a 6 string into a 12 string) but I wasn't blown away by the sound samples or videos. I suspect that the size restrictions on the speaker they're jamming into the acoustic limits the lushness of the effect.

        Like, if you do a ton of Byrds acoustic covers while busking this is a no-brainer. For most other situations I feel like there are better alternatives.

            No speaker. Uses a transducer to vibrate the body.

            The opinions expressed above do not necessarily represent those of the poster and are to be considered suspect at best.

              They sound surprisingly good when you are playing one. Had a chance to play a couple in a local shop.

                That's cool! So it turns the whole guitar body into a speaker. Maybe I just have to hear it in person, rather than sound clips.

                  Yes, it’s based on a technology they developed to add effects to a real piano for the last 20 years.

                    You do as they are impressive. I was very surprised when I got to play one.

                      I was pretty much in love after the first strum

                        I have one. It makes the guitar sound like a MUCH more expensive one. The reverb and chorus transform the $1,000 guitar close to sounding like a $3400 Taylor.

                        Turn the electronics off? It sounds like a dead $1,000 guitar- even mine with the rosewood back and sides
