Pre-Owned Yamaha LS-TA TransAcoustic Electro-Acoustic Guitar – Brown Sunburst

Product Overview

This pre-owned Yamaha LS-TA TransAcoustic is a high-quality concert-style electro-acoustic guitar with Yamaha’s built-in TransAcoustic effects system. It produces onboard reverb and chorus effects directly from the guitar body, meaning you can enjoy a more spacious, inspiring acoustic sound without needing an amp or external effects.

The LS-TA features a comfortable smaller-body design, making it a good choice for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, home recording, live acoustic sets and anyone who prefers a guitar that feels a little more manageable than a full dreadnought. With a solid Engelmann spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and Yamaha’s System70 TransAcoustic electronics, this is a serious acoustic guitar with a very useful built-in performance feature.

This example is in fair pre-owned condition. It plays well and presents nicely overall, but it does show visible cosmetic wear, including scratches, marks and dings across the body and headstock. Please see the photos for the exact condition.

Condition

Condition: Fair

This guitar has been used and shows noticeable cosmetic wear. From inspection of the photos, visible marks include:

• Scratches and surface marks to the front of the body
• Dings and small chips around the lower bout
• Marks and scratches to the sides and back
• Wear and small chips around the headstock edge
• General signs of use to the gloss finish
• Some tarnishing/ageing to the gold hardware

The guitar still looks attractive overall, especially with the Brown Sunburst finish and rosewood back and sides, but it should be bought as a used instrument with visible cosmetic wear rather than a mint or near-mint example.

Why Choose the Yamaha LS-TA?

The Yamaha LS-TA is ideal for players who want a high-quality acoustic guitar with something a little different. The TransAcoustic system adds natural-sounding ambience directly through the guitar body, making practice, writing and performance feel more inspiring even before plugging into an amp or PA.

The LS body shape is also a practical choice for players who find dreadnought guitars too large or boomy. It gives a balanced acoustic tone with good clarity, making it well suited to fingerstyle playing, lighter strumming and vocal accompaniment.

For a player who wants a premium Yamaha electro-acoustic at a lower used price and does not mind cosmetic wear, this is a strong option.
