Yamaha TAS3C TransAcoustic Guitar

Yamaha TAS3C – Your Personal One-Person Band

What if your acoustic guitar could fill a room with reverb, stack loops on the fly, and stream backing tracks — no cables, no amp required? Meet the Yamaha TAS3C TransAcoustic Guitar, the instrument rewriting what acoustic players can do.

At its core is TransAcoustic technology: string vibrations are converted into electrical signals, processed through onboard effects, then delivered via internal actuators that resonate through the guitar body itself — producing professional-grade reverb, chorus, and delay that sound organic and immersive, with no pedals or amp needed.

Underneath the technology is a world-class acoustic guitar. The A.R.E.-treated solid Sitka spruce top replicates decades of natural wood ageing, delivering warm, resonant tone from day one. Solid mahogany back and sides add depth and richness, while the ebony fingerboard and Venetian cutaway offer smooth playability and easy upper-fret access — ideal for fingerpickers and singer-songwriters alike.

Creativity flows further with the onboard looper — record, layer, and playback performances in real time, tap the guitar body to build beats, and save up to 10 phrases via the TAG Remote app. Connect via Bluetooth to stream music directly through the guitar body for play-along sessions anywhere you go. The iOS/Android TAG Remote app puts deep control over every effect parameter at your fingertips, and the on-body tap sensor keeps adjustments instant and intuitive — no menus, no interruptions.

A built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery with magnetic charging keeps you playing for up to 5.5 hours, from the bedroom to the stage. The TAS3C isn’t just a guitar — it’s a complete, self-contained creative tool.
