The Yamaha FGC-TA Black at a glance
The instruments from the Yamaha TransAcoustic series impress with their extensive and versatile pickup system, which offers the player a variety of uses with its built-in effects and autonomous amplification. In addition, the Yamaha FGC-TA Black produces a powerful and warm sound that is excellent for fine Pickings and expressive strumming. The flat neck can be easily operated up to the highest positions thanks to the generous cutaway and has enough space to master even complex fingering patterns with ease. The compensated saddle and the finely notched nut, which are precisely aligned with each other, also speak for the excellent quality of the acoustic guitar. Furthermore, the 6 steel strings can be tuned comfortably with the help of the smooth tuners. Visually, the acoustic guitar is rounded off by elegant inlays and Bindings, which tastefully complement the razor-thin high-gloss finish with black colouring.
Structure and woods
In order for the dreadnought acoustic guitar to produce a rounded yet clear sound, the top is made of solid spruce. The evenly-grained tonewood provides the guitar with differentiated midrange and treble frequencies so that both chords and individual notes come across perfectly. Laminated mahogany back and sides enrich the sound with warm bass frequencies that create a pleasant sound carpet. The flat nato neck is equipped with a rosewood fingerboard, in which 20 frets are incorporated. The bridge is also made of the finest rosewood.
Hardware and design
The saddle and the 43mmwide nut made of urea ensure clean intonation over the entire scale length of 650mm. The headstock features smooth-running die-cast tunerswith chrome hardware that guarantee precise tuning of the acoustic guitar. The fretboard is marked with discreet dot inlays, which serve for orientation and contrast pleasantly with the rough-grained rosewood. The cream-coloured multi-ply bindings separate the individual components of the body and, with their delicate nature, are perfectly matched to the double-ring soundhole rosette. In addition, the top is equipped with a transparent pickguard.
Electronics
The System70 TransAcoustic pickup system is undoubtedly the heart of the Yamaha FGC-TA Black acoustic guitar and allows the player to have comprehensive flexibility. The sophisticated system works like a loudspeaker located directly in the instrument. In this case, the bottom forms the speaker cone. In addition, the active pickup is equipped with an integrated reverb and chorus effect, which can be conveniently added via the side preamp. The entire pickup system is activated via the push of a button. For use on the big stage, the guitar can also be connected to an external amplifier.
