I've decided that it's time to get amped!
Over the past two weeks, I acquired a new Yamaha THR5A amp, a used mint-condition Yamaha CG-TA (the transacoustic), and a used mint-condition Yamaha NCX1.
The NCX1 already had an excellent set-up even though the original owner did nothing to it. It does need a new set of strings but is otherwise ready-to-go.
The CG-TA needs a little more work for my preferences. I'll be lowering the action to match the NCX1 and upgrading the tuning machines to a set of Hauser-style Der Jung's that I had. I might also ebonize the fretboard. It will also get a fresh set of strings when I'm done.
The amp pairs very well with these two and with my Islander AST-4-EQ. Yamaha did a nice job with the modeling capabilities and the Nylon setting on the amp is very pleasing to my ears.
