Effects sounds on the guitar itself! Yamaha's new technology takes the concept of acoustic guitar to the next level! Eleaco, LSTA!
Playing the guitar in a room with excellent acoustics is a pleasant and irreplaceable stimulus. We propose the Trans-Acoustic Guitar, the one that spends time together with guitarists who want to play better and longer, filled with creativity! The Trans-Acoustic Guitar delivers a completely new playing experience, allowing you to apply reverb, chorus, and other effects to the live sound of the guitar without the need for an amplifier. Welcome to a new dimension that goes beyond the boundaries of the acoustic guitar!

Based on the "LS16" with a nubby, slightly compact, folk-type BODY, all veneer, ARE-treated Ingleman spruce TOP and rosewood SIDE/BACK.

Actuator
The LS16 is equipped with Yamaha's proprietary "TransAcoustic" technology, which functions using digital technology, but uses an acoustic method for pronunciation.
String vibrations converted into electrical signals are transmitted, with effects applied, to an actuator (shaker) located on the back of the front plate.
The actuator is the heart of a transacoustic guitar, and it converts effect signals such as reverb and chorus into vibrations that are transmitted throughout the guitar.
It is now possible to emit effect sounds from the guitar itself, without connecting an amplifier or speakers!

Simple and Compact Controls
Three simple knobs control the volume level of the effects and line out. The control knobs are designed to be compact and mounted inside the body. By minimizing body modifications that affect the sound, the raw sound of the guitar itself is fully brought out.

(A)Chorus control
(B)Reverb control (Room/Hall)
(C)TA switch/Line out volume control*.

* Press and hold the TA switch (0.3 seconds) to bring up the TA function.
* When the LINE OUT jack is connected, the volume control for the effects on the main unit and the effects on the outputs can be adjusted at the same time.
* The reverb type is automatically switched at the 12 o'clock position on the knob.

High-quality live sound of the guitar body
The body of the guitar is based on the L-series, with all front and back sideboards made of veneer. The non-scalloped X-bracing construction of the "L Series" has been further improved with the latest analysis and modeling technology and expert craftsmanship.
Realizes a brighter, yet deeper and richer mid-bass sound. The surface board is treated with A.R.E. treatment, which gives the guitar a rich sound as if it has been played for many years, even though it is brand new. The Trans-Acoustic Guitar was designed to resonate with a pleasant natural effect.
