Yamaha Parlor Acoustic With Built-In Chorus and Reverb

[gjmalcyon]

This article about Yamaha's CSF-TA acoustic guitar with built-in reverb and chorus was in my New Atlas newsfeed today. It has a built-in mechanical actuator that vibrates the back of the guitar, producing chorus and reverb effects without an amp or other external device (does require batteries). There is an entire line of guitars from Yamaha with this feature.

More info from Yamaha here.

Wow! This is kinda fun! I didn't see any video on either link so I went to youtube and found some. This is one of several. Very interesting. I do wonder what kind of weight all this technology ads to the guitar overall. Anyway, here you go:



Wondering the benefit for a performing player that this has. Fun though!! :encouragement:

And one more.....



My only problem with this one is he plays to sell the technology and when he compares to the technology turned OFF, he just gives a quick strum and practically mutes the strings to bring out the difference. The differences are clear enough without him trying to make them MORE than what they are. That's my only criticism of this one.....
