More than just a gimmick
Color: Black Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
This actually sounds as advertised (which is rare these days). Pros: - Sound is balanced with or without actuator, I have no trouble bringing out the low end the mids or high just by emphasizing my strumming or picking rather than having to rely on an amp etc. - Play-ability of the neck and fret board works well; the width and profile depth of the neck are comfortable for folks who do not have long fingers - Cost is quite reasonable for the quality (even without it being 'Trans Acoustic') - The actuator actually works; meaning without amping up, I can get reverb and chorus and control it. It is creatively fun to play this thing Cons: - The true con of this is that there are no models that have the option for a cutaway which is a shame because this guitar wants you to come up to the upper registers once in a while; the lack of cutaway may have to do with the bracing and electric gear and a cutaway may compromise the sound quality past a threshold Yamaha didn't want but still, such a shame - No built in tuner; yes we can use clip on tuners but it seems odd to have the gear in place but omit the tuner - suspect this is due to the AA battery choice... Nitpick - AA batteries tend not to last as long as 9-volt. Oddly, Yamaha makes a big deal about how hard it is to find 9-volt. Perhaps in some countries but in the U.S. they are everywhere other batteries are sold. This is, by itself, not a con for me but rather a minor annoyance. I do not use the actuator for every song I play and for me the battery life appears to be about 1 month. It is what it is. So why 5-stars then? Truly I would give this a 4.5 star rating for lack of cutaway and battery choice but amazon doesn't allow it cause amazon is going to amazon. This said, the reason for 5 star rating is that even when I don't have the electronics going this guitar sounds great. Disclaimer; I have this tuned to drop C to which my ear prefers over E standard. However, I suspect similar experience for Standard tuning. Also, I write songs and I have to admit this actuator is more than just a gimmick. For me at least this enables and encourages creativity and that alone is worth a 5 star rating. ... show more

Pretty Damn Cool
Color: Black Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
Going from a couple hundred dollar Fender dreadnought to this so the guitar without the crazy reverb/chorus turned on is pretty awesome. Turn on the crazy reverb/chorus and you'd swear you were hooked up to an amp, it really is cool. Out of the box the guitar was setup pretty good, I didn't need to adjust the neck at all but I did file down the nut quite a bit to get the action down. This was totally expected as the action is always high on a brand new guitar which makes sense, it's a lot easier to lower the action than it is to raise it. My only complaint on this is that there's no way to turn the reverb/chorus on/off or adjust the settings while playing it, you have to take your hand off the neck to adjust the knobs. It seems the controls for these could have been put somewhere more convenient to reach while playing. Otherwise this is a really cool guitar and the reverb/chorus will blow your mind when you first try it out. In fact, I have a hard time playing it now without the reverb and chorus on, it just sounds too dead now lol. UPDATE 6/1/2019 ---------------------- I've had this guitar for a few months now and I still really like it except I have one issue with it that I've noticed lately. I'd turn the effects on and start playing only for the effects to kick back off after a minute or so. I was afraid something was wrong with the electronics already but this seems to be an issue once the batteries start to get a little low. The problem was that I'd put new batteries in, play for an hour or so and then put it away only to notice this issue happen the next time I played it. I was leaving the batteries in the guitar when I put it away but I did always make sure to turn the effects off before hand. It seems that if I leave the batteries in the guitar they tend to drain even when the effects are off and you're not playing it. I looked the issue up online and did come across someone else complaining about the issue. The advice was to keep the volume all the way down since you're not plugged in but this didn't really help in my case. To keep this issue from happening you need to remove the batteries when you're done playing and then put them back in the next time you want to play it. I also really wish the controls were in a more convenient place where you could turn the effects on or off while you're playing it. ... show more

Great guitar for the money
Color: Vintage Tint Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
I have a pile of guitars and I do my own set up and minor repairs.. This was perfectly set up out of the box. Good tone and strong projection. The only thing I didn't like is there is no indicator light to tell you if the electronics are on.. seems odd to exclude that. Otherwise is a great instrument. ... show more

Awesome guitar sounds amazing plays great well built
Color: Vintage Tint Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
Beautiful guitar super quality built and sounds amazing. I’m over satisfied with this guitar it’s better than I expected and well worth the money to me. Stays in tune. Inspiring me to play more and I’ve already created new songs with this guitar. Arrived without damage but I think the packaging could be better, absolutely 0 styrofoam protection. Love this guitar my second Yamaha and I’m definitely a fan now. The wood is perfect and great looking. Super awesome guitar. ... show more

Transacoustics Do Not Work
Color: Brown Sunburst Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
Arrived with tore up shipping box and no padding to speak of (was covered in 1/16 inch, easily penetrable padding). Gave it a strum...sounded OK. Turned on the transacoustic device... nothing. bought new set of batteries to make sure that wasn't the problem... still nothing. Now I have spent half the afternoon trying to arrange a return, only to find out a return could not be processed until "after 5pm". So now I'm going to call them for the 3rd time after 5pm. This may be a good guitar, I'll never know because it doesn't work. Very concerned about computer coming from amazon next week. Guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope it works. One star is too much... hope your experience is better. Update: I am new to Amazon and was trying to handle problem the old way.... by phone. Once I realized how easy (couple clicks) and risk free Amazon returns are (30 day guaranteed), I am much more comfortable with risk of shipping. This product was shipped from Yamaha and delivered by UPS, so the flimsy packing and banged up box were not Amazon's fault, and it took just a little over a week to get refund. ... show more

Amazing Sound
Color: Black Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
Quality workmanship, the Dreadnought sounds bright, loud and crisp without the effects, when you engage the reverb and chorus it's how I always wanted my guitar to sound and I can take it anywhere. Played easy right out of the box, was set up well but I lowered the string action by removing material from the saddle as Im learning most guitars generally come set with high action and need to be adjusted to user preferences. I'm a Yamaha fan now, and they are reasonably priced, great value. It's hanging on my wall so It's easy to grab and Jam. For the money thw ll-ta is worth it ,,nice bag, solid wood and ARE wood aging is legitimate, I have the f series to take camping and tuned to DADGAD and the ll-ta for home ,both are nice but the ll-ta sounds and looks better. ... show more

Solid purchase. Guitar well crafted but heavier than usual.
Color: Black Size: Dreadnought Style: F-Series Pattern: Guitar
Beautiful sounding guitar. And stellar appearance. The fretted notes really resonate. One slight drawback for less physical players. It's a heavy guitar. Compared to my previous Yamahas which never disappoint.
