Description

Here’s What Yamaha Say About the CG-TA TransAcoustic Classical Guitar:

Yamaha CG-TA TransAcoustic classical nylon-string guitars transport you to new creative spaces with immersive reverb and lush chorus effects, without needing an amp or other external gear.

Actuator

An actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the actuator are then conveyed to the body of the guitar, and to the air in and around the guitar body, generating authentic reverb and chorus sounds from inside the body.

Simple Controls

Three simple knobs let you adjust the degree of effect applied and the lineout volume level. Additionally, keeping the controls small minimizes the area of the holes in the body material, reducing acoustic sound loss.

(A) Chorus Control, (B) Reverb Control (Room / Hall), (C) TA Switch / Line Out Volume Control

* Pressing the TA Switch for more than 0.3 seconds activates the TA function. * When a cable is connected to the line-out jack, the lineout volume can be adjusted by rotating the (C) knob. * The reverb type switches from Room to Hall around the 12:00 position.

Newly Designed Battery Box

Battery box integrated into the end-pin jack. This requires fewer holes in the body, thus reducing acoustic sound loss. Connect the cable from the jack to a PA or amp to use as an acoustic electric guitar.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Classical Guitars

Classical guitars use nylon strings and a wider neck to produce a warm, rounded tone with excellent clarity and touch sensitivity. They are traditionally associated with classical and flamenco music, but are also widely used in folk, jazz, and contemporary styles. The lower string tension makes them comfortable to play and well suited to fingerstyle techniques and expressive dynamics. Classical guitars offer an intimate, natural sound that encourages precision, control, and a close connection between the player and the instrument.

Chorus

Chorus is a modulation effect that thickens and widens a sound by duplicating the signal, slightly detuning it, and modulating its pitch over time. This creates the impression of multiple instruments playing together, resulting in a rich, shimmering, and spacious tone.

It is commonly used on guitar, bass, and keyboards to add movement and depth, working especially well with clean or lightly driven sounds. Chorus became strongly associated with 1980s music but remains widely used across pop, rock, ambient, and modern styles for its ability to make a sound feel fuller and more animated.

Reverb

Reverb (short for reverberation) is an audio effect that simulates the natural reflections of sound in a physical space. When you play in a room, hall, or cathedral, the sound waves bounce off the walls, ceiling, and floor, creating a sense of depth and ambience. Reverb pedals and processors recreate this effect electronically, allowing guitarists and producers to shape how “big” or “live” their sound feels. From short, springy echoes that mimic vintage amp tanks to lush, atmospheric washes used in ambient or shoegaze music, reverb adds dimension and realism — turning a dry, flat tone into something immersive and expressive.
