It has a concert body, solid spruce top with a mahogany back and sides, new scalloped bracing for more authentic acoustic sounds and is a find for intricate fingerpicking. It delivers rich warmth and resonance while maintaining an excellent tone ideal for fingerpicking. Your creativity and imagination will find a friend in the FS-TA guitar that creates the experience of playing in a rich, live room without external effects or amplification. The chorus sounds are due to an actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back which vibrates in response to string vibrations and generates an authentic reverberation. Three simple knobs let you adjust the degree of effect applied – Chorus Control, Reverb Control, TA Switch/Line Out V.

Actuator

An actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the actuator are then conveyed to the body of the guitar, and to the air in and around the guitar body, generating authentic reverb and chorus sounds from inside the body.

Simple Controls

Three simple knobs let you adjust the degree of effect applied and the lineout volume level. Additionally, keeping the controls small minimizes the area of the holes in the body material, reducing acoustic sound loss.

1. Chorus Control
2. Reverb Control (Room / Hall)
3. TA Switch / Line Out Volume Control

Pressing the TA Switch for more than 0.3 seconds activates the TA function.

When a cable is connected to the line-out jack, the lineout volume can be adjusted by rotating the (C) knob.

The reverb type switches from Room to Hall around the 12:00 position.
