Yamaha TAG3C TransAcoustic Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Sand Burst
This new addition to Yamaha's TransAcoustic line features a built in amplifer for unplugged-plugged-in tones, reverb, chorus, and delay effects (all customisable via smartphone app), and built-in looper! The amplifer/preamp section is powered by a rechargable battery, and on top of all these technological advancements, this instrument remains a great sounding guitar when just played completely acoustically thanks to its solid wood construction - Sitka spruce for the top, mahogany back and sides, and one-piece mahogany neck.
First released in 2016, the TransAcoustic Guitar is an innovative acoustic guitar that features Yamaha's TransAcoustic technology, which combines authentic acoustic sound with digital technology for advanced features. Best of all, TransAcoustic Guitars can add effects to your playing without needing any external amplifier or cables—just the guitar itself. String vibrations are converted into electrical signals, which go through effects processing before being delivered to actuators inside the guitar. Vibrations generated by the actuators are then transmitted to the guitar body to produce the desired effects. The actual and processed sounds resonate together and radiate from within the guitar body to produce natural sound with rich effects. TransAcoustic Guitars have been praised for offering an acoustic guitar playing experience like never before.
As the second-generation model of the TransAcoustic Guitar line, the TAG3 C features the next evolution of the original TransAcoustic Guitar features. The cutaway dreadnought body is well-suited to powerful strokes and features a solid Sitka spruce top and a solid mahogany back and sides. With an extra, newly improved actuator (two total), the guitars also offer even higher-quality effects, along with built-in looper functionality. A new Delay effect has been added to the original Reverb and Chorus, for a total of three available effects. Looper functionality stimulates creativity by giving players the ability to record their own sound and play it back in a loop, allowing them to layer phrases while playing. Players can use the TAG Remote app to adjust the output of these effects. New Bluetooth audio capability also lets the user connect a smart device and play audio through the guitar body. The TAG3 C is an all-in-one instrument that covers the full breadth of the musical creative process: listening, playing, and creating.
