A CG That Pushes the Limits of Traditional Classical Guitars
The Yamaha CG-TA fits within the spirit of the CG series, appreciated for its "authentic classical guitar" approach and overall balance. Using the characteristics of the CG162S model as a base, Yamaha adds TransAcoustic technology to radically expand the playing experience: you get a nylon-string guitar that maintains a classical identity while offering a sound immersion usually reserved for amplified setups.
For Whom and What Styles?
The CG-TA is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists (and any musician seeking daily inspiration) who play classical, nylon fingerstyle, bossa, Latin music, nylon-string pop, or traditional repertoire. Its benefits are immediate at home, in lessons, gentle rehearsals, or composition: the built-in effects help develop touch and dynamics while making the playing more "immersive" without complicating the setup.
Sound
With its nylon strings, the CG-TA naturally emphasizes a round attack, warm midrange, and ideal definition for arpeggios. The true signature of the model comes from the TransAcoustic system: instead of adding effects through an amplifier, the guitar generates reverb and chorus directly within the instrument, creating a very natural sense of space and depth. For amplified situations, the SRT piezo allows signal capture and provides a usable output with dedicated volume control.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of this classical guitar, you can choose a set of nylon strings for classical guitar (matched to your touch: normal or high tension), a chromatic tuner, and a guitar stand to keep it always within reach. These accessories are universal and suitable for classical guitar use.

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Customers praise the transacoustic system's impressive reverb and chorus effects that create a "church-like" ambiance without amplification. Many found the technology "amazing" and "not a gimmick." However, some noted the base instrument quality is entry-level, with sound being "light" without effects. Professionals desire the system on higher-end models. Price is considered slightly high but reasonable for the innovation.

This product meets expectations and after numerous tests the CG-TA is easy to handle. A rope broken during the trip was reimbursed by a complete quality set by Woodbrass. The production quality of the instrument is irreproachable.
The only mini b-mol, already raised by others, it is obviously a good quality Yamaha model but whose addition of transducer may not entirely justify the overall price, which remains a bit high without being prohibitive.
For those who are looking for this “scene” /"concert” effect through reverb, there is plenty of room for them. The chorus effect is a bit more incidental and more rarely used/usable... Long-term use will make it possible to nuance and specify...Automatically translated

A guitar that is not just another gimmick! the two reverbs (home and hall) do the job. The Chorus is also a plus for jazz players. You get used to playing with the reverb built into the instrument to the point where you easily take it at the expense of other guitars.
The only weak point is the quality of the instrument, which is an Etude 2 model. For professionals like me, it's a disadvantage for pieces that require virtuosity.
The “transacoustic” system mounted on a Yamaha NCX5 nylon would be the best of the best!
In summary, nice and impressive but on the other hand, the lutherie is insufficient. I would be willing to pay more for a “concert” transacousticAutomatically translated

It's amazing! It almost gives the impression that there is a small speaker inside the case. In my one room, I feel like I'm playing in a church. When you let a chord sound and touch the back of the guitar, you understand that it is the vibration that is amplified by the internal system. The guitar is just right.
The body nut a bit to my taste (a little bit of lime and it will be perfect)Automatically translated
