10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Iconic body

This model's body has been crafted into a concert shape, which offers a comfortable playing experience due to its compact size. This shape is larger than a parlour guitar, but smaller than a dreadnought, which means it offers a wide tonal frequency with excellent sonic balance and response. With its smaller size, the Yamaha FS-TA is the perfect choice for smaller framed players, as well beginners wanting a performance ready instrument for gaining skills and learning new chords. It also produces a beautifully articulate tone that fingerpicking you will certainly adore.

Sculpted for perfection

The FS-TA features a solid spruce top, which offers a versatile sound, perfectly suited to a wide range of playing styles and techniques. It yields a crisp and articulate tone, as well as producing a broad dynamic range. Spruce also resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright sparkling highs.

Its solid top has been coupled with mahogany back and sides, which generate a rich, full, distinct warmth with plenty of resonance, while also offering a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity to please most playing styles.

Stunning tonewoods

Constructed from nato, this model's neck produces similar tonal characteristics to mahogany, offering added warmth and resonance. It also responds greatly to numerous techniques, enabling players to experiment with more alternative playing styles and truly appreciate the sound produced. The neck has been topped with a rosewood fingerboard, which adds a sonically pleasing warmth to the guitar's overall sound. Alongside this, its rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth and energetic playing experience.

Ready for stage and studio

Yamaha's System 70 TransAcoustic preamp not only provides the ability to plug the guitar into an amplifier but can also amplify the guitar itself. With an actuator installed on the inside of the back panel, the piezo pickup transmits the vibrations from the strings to the actuator, and then to the body of the guitar and the surrounding air. This generates an authentic reverb and chorus sound inside the guitar, amplifying it's sound.

Its preamp comes with three controls that are designed into the body to minimise the amount of holes in the guitars body, reducing the loss of the acoustic sound. A chorus knob and reverb knob provides adjustments to the amount of chorus or reverb the actuator produces, with the reverb knob offering a choice between room and hall. The third switch turns the actuator on or off, and if the guitar is plugged into an amp, then it controls the line out's volume.
