The CG-TA is among the newest additions to the family of Yamaha hybrid guitars. The CG-TA incorporates an actuator completely hidden inside the guitar, a unique Yamaha technology. When the instrument's strings are played, the actuator senses the vibrations, enhances them, and conveys them back to the guitar body and the air in and around the guitar to create authentic reverb and chorus effects from inside the body, with no need for external amplification or effects.

This unique technology gives a player's music a spacious, concert-hall feel in any practice or performance space. Incorporating the craftsmanship that has led Yamaha to become the best-selling nylon-string guitar maker in the United States, the CG-TA is based on the company's popular, mid-priced CG162 model. It features an Engelmann spruce top and a body of ovangkol, an attractive rosewood relative with excellent tonal properties. It incorporates the refined CG series bracing pattern, delivering superior response and resonance, and a thinner bridge plate that efficiently transfers string vibration across the guitar top.

Three knobs on the guitar's side offer easy adjustment of the level of the TransAcoustic effects, and a SYSTEM70 TransAcoustic + SRT piezo pickup provides amplification, with a line-out volume level, an on/off control, and a redesigned battery box integrated with the guitar's endpin. The expert construction of the CG-TA produces a sound with smooth, rich, full tones that helps players enhance the depth of their music.

This guitar is in mint condition and has undergone a full in-store inspection and setup. The neck is nice and straight, fits comfortably in the hand and exhibits no discernible fretwear. The finish shows no external imperfections.
