Yamaha TAG1C TransAcoustic Guitar

Yamaha TAG1C – Play Like the Room is Wired

At the heart of the TAG1C is Yamaha’s proprietary TransAcoustic technology. String vibrations are converted into electrical signals, processed through onboard effects, and delivered via dual internal actuators — letting the natural and effected sounds resonate together through the guitar body itself. The result is an immersive, studio-quality experience you can hear and feel through the wood. No gear. No setup. Just pick up and play.

Powering it all is the second-generation SYSTEM78 preamp with an under-saddle piezo pickup. A slightly deeper dreadnought body adds greater volume and tonal depth, while three onboard effects — Reverb, Chorus, and Delay — respond expressively to everything from fingerpicked passages to full strumming.

Built for tone, the TAG1C features a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck, and a walnut fretboard — all on a 650mm scale with a 44mm nut width. The Venetian cutaway keeps upper-fret access open for solos and fills, while the full dreadnought width delivers the bold projection and low-end punch players expect.

Bluetooth audio lets you stream backing tracks directly through the guitar body, turning solo practice into a full jam session. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 5.5 hours of play, and the TAG Remote app (iOS & Android) puts effect parameter control at your fingertips. Plug into an amp, and it performs just as confidently on stage.

One guitar. Built-in effects, Bluetooth, and stage-ready versatility — the Yamaha TAG1C takes you from bedroom to stage without compromise.
