Musikmesse 2016 - Yamaha Guitars News - Revstar & Brand new Transacoustic Guitar!

Of course we will be present at Musikmesse Frankfurt April 7-10th with Revstar, the new FG range & some historical Yamaha Guitars celebrating our 50 year anniversary!

Plus we are very excited to announce a brand new guitar! The TransAcoustic; The Acoustic Guitar ( r )evolution. Read on for all details….

The Acoustic Guitar (R)Evolution

Playing guitar in a great sounding room is the most inspiring playing experience imaginable – far more enjoyable than in a dry-sounding room like a lounge or office. Yamaha’s TransAcoustic Guitar recreates the incredible experience of playing in a rich, live room without needing any external amplification or effects – just the guitar itself.

Whether you’re practicing, writing, recording or just playing for fun, the TransAcoustic Guitar will make you play better, longer and with more creativity. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never want to play another acoustic guitar again. Make sure you come to the Yamaha Guitars booth and test this out for yourself… Play, Listen…Be Inspired.
