Yamaha TAG3C TransAcoustic Guitar

Yamaha TAG3C – A Full Studio in One Instrument

What if your acoustic guitar could fill a room with reverb, chorus, and delay — no cables, no pedals, no setup? That’s exactly what the Yamaha TAG3C delivers.

At its core is Yamaha’s TransAcoustic technology. String vibrations are converted into electrical signals, processed through built-in effects, then fed back through two internal actuators that resonate the guitar body itself. The sound radiates organically from within — making effects feel like a natural extension of your playing, not an add-on.

The TAG3C is the first TransAcoustic to add Delay alongside Chorus and Reverb, giving you three high-fidelity effects tuned by a company that engineers both guitars and actuators in-house. The difference is immediately noticeable — rich, immersive, and entirely wireless.

Creativity goes further with the built-in looper. Tap the capacitive sensor below the soundhole to record, layer, and loop in real time. Strum chords, tap a beat on the body, then solo over the top — all on one guitar. Loops save automatically when powered off, and the TAG Remote app lets you store and recall up to ten phrases whenever inspiration strikes.

Bluetooth connectivity rounds out the feature set. Connect your phone and stream audio directly through the guitar body — the same actuators that power your effects double as a speaker, delivering surprisingly immersive playback for practice or songwriting.

Beneath the technology is a genuinely premium acoustic. The solid Sitka spruce top offers clarity and projection, while the solid mahogany back and sides bring warmth and depth. An ebony fretboard and bridge complete a build that punches well above its price point.

A rechargeable Li-ion battery provides up to 5.5 hours of play time — plenty for rehearsals, gigs, and late-night sessions alike.
