Review: On first strum I immediately heard what torrefaction aging does to the wood and I liked it. - I have several acoustics, a 20yr old Takamine cedar top which has aged up, a brand new Ibanez acoustic artwood, and now this Yamaha. The way that wood ages does change the sound and it's hard to describe and not that easy to notice without an a and b comparison, but the first notes I played on the Yamaha, I was struck by how clear they rang out. The torrefaction aging they are doing to the wood isn't snake oil, and it has an easy to hear change on the tone. The upper mid range of the guitar for instance is louder, and there seem to be more overtones. If you could imagine starting with a soft, wet wood, how it would tend to muffle the treble freqencies because it's not very stiff, and then imagine you somehow made that wood as stiff as carbon fiber, and then played it, how much brighter it would sound, it's something like that. The notes sound very clear, and project very well. It actually 'sounds good'. Like play an A chord and someone can tell it's an expensive guitar just from that. It just has that sound. The electronics are also great. I wish it had a built in tuner like my Ibanez but the magic wizardry that is the built in chorus and reverb is pretty incredible. It takes 2 AA batteries from down by the TRS jack, and I haven't had to change them yet after about 20 hours of playing. The chorus especially gives you a 12string sound on a 6 string. The plugged in sound is better than my Ibanez, but still sounds like a piezo. It's okay for using an amp but if you're recording guitar, you're still better off using a microphone pointed at the 12th fret. Now the action......is great. It's the easiest acoustic action I've ever used. It's not as easy to play as an electric, but you won't struggle with it even if you don't play acoustic. It's nothing like my Takamine which is a finger destroyer. The neck also has that knurling down both sides to kind of protect your hand from fret sprouting and such so that even wrapping your thumb around the neck you have nothing grinding on your hand on either side moving up and down the neck. Very smooth, and a matt neck finish so it's not grabby. The tuners are very fast, which is usually a sign of quality. It takes very little movement to tune up or down and once the strings stretch out, it stays in tune. It also does not affect tune very much if you're pulling on the neck or pushing on it which is a good sign. I did not have to adjust the action to get a buzz free experience. The action as a whole is a little higher than I'd like, but you won't get any string buzz with it set like that. My fit and finish is flawless. No scuffs, dings, flaws, from the factory. The guitar uses thick top wood which is much thicker than my Ibanez or Takamine. The guitar also weighs more than my other 2 acoustics and it feels solid. I expect this guitar to last a lifetime.
Review: A great guitar! - This is a fantastic guitar. First it is beautifully finished and more importantly it has a great sound ; even without the Transacoustics turned on. I have several nice acoustics and this guitar is my favorite. I've played the other top brands starting with M and T and for the money, I prefer this guitar.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does a gig bag come with the ls-ta concert?  everywhere else it comes with a gig bag at the same price.  but amazon says nothing about it.**
A: I know it does not say anything about it but yes I did receive one when I ordered it in February. There is no gig bag with the FSTA even when you buy it from a big box guitar store. Enjoy the LSTA as it is well worth it, I just was playing mine! I got it at a good price too!

**Q: Will you adjust the fingerboard of guitar before delivery?**
A: My guitar came preset. I changed the strings to 11’s flatwound and did do some neck adjustment myself.

**Q: Does the pickup still work without a battery?**
A: Since a standard 1/4" cable isn't powered, the guitar still needs the battery - the chorus and reverb will work through the PA or amp; so there's no need for extra effects. I add delay through my VOX amp.

**Q: Would this benefit from a preamp, like the boss paraacoustic di, or ad 10?  should it use an acoustic amp?  or is it best just straight into pa?**
A: none of these are wrong

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than just a gimmick
*by D***H on August 31, 2019*

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.
