Iconic body

This model's body has been crafted into a concert shape, which offers a comfortable playing experience due to its compact size. This shape is larger than a parlour guitar but smaller than a dreadnought, allowing for a wide tonal frequency with excellent sonic balance and response. With its smaller size, the Yamaha FS-TA is the perfect choice for smaller framed players, as well beginners wanting a performance ready instrument for gaining skills and learning new chords. Or, if you're a fingerstyle player, you're sure to adore the beautifully articulate tone of the concert shape.

Sculpted for perfection

The FS-TA features a solid spruce top, which offers a versatile sound, perfectly suited to a wide range of playing styles and techniques. It yields a crisp and articulate tone, as well as producing a broad dynamic range. Spruce also resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range, and sparkling highs.

Its solid top has been coupled with mahogany back and sides, which generate a rich, full, distinct warmth with plenty of resonance, while also offering a meaty mid-range, punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth, and complexity to please most playing styles.

Stunning tonewoods

Constructed from nato, this model's neck produces similar tonal characteristics to mahogany, offering added warmth and resonance. It also responds greatly to numerous techniques, enabling players to experiment with more alternative playing styles and truly appreciate the sound produced. The neck has been topped with a rosewood fingerboard, which adds a sonically pleasing warmth to the guitar's overall sound. Alongside this, its rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth and energetic playing experience.

Ready for stage and studio

Yamaha's System70 TransAcoustic preamp not only provides the ability to plug the guitar into an amplifier, but it can also amplify the guitar itself. With an actuator installed on the inside of the back panel, the piezo pickup transmits the vibrations from the strings to the actuator, and then to the body of the guitar and the surrounding air. This generates an authentic reverb and chorus sound inside the guitar, amplifying its sound.

Its preamp comes with three controls that are located within the soundhole to minimise the number of holes in the guitars body, reducing the loss of the acoustic sound. You'll have chorus and reverb knobs at your command, allowing you to sculpt your sound with precision and even choose between room and hall when it comes to reverb effects.
