A concert acoustic-electric guitar with built-in reverb.
The Yamaha TAS1 C TransAcoustic Concert acoustic-electric guitar combines compact comfort with the companys next-generation TransAcoustic technology, delivering an immersive acoustic experience without external gear. Designed for modern players, it features built-in reverb, chorus and delay effects that resonate naturally through the guitar body, along with Bluetooth audio capability for streaming backing tracks directly through the instrument. The concert-size body provides balanced tone and comfortable playability, making it well suited for fingerstyle, light strumming and songwriting. A solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides delivers clarity and warmth, while the cutaway design enhances upper-fret access. Whether you're practicing at home, busking or performing unplugged, the TAS1 C offers a streamlined acoustic-electric guitar solution that blends traditional tone with innovative Yamaha technology.
Next-Generation TransAcoustic Technology With Built-In Effects
The TAS1 C is anchored by Yamaha’s next-generation TransAcoustic SYSTEM78 electronics system, allowing reverb, chorus and delay effects to resonate naturally through the guitar body. An onboard actuator vibrates the instrument itself, blending ambient effects with your acoustic tone while preserving the organic response players expect. Onboard controls make it easy to shape the level of ambience, from subtle room depth to more pronounced effects. This self-contained design eliminates the need for external amplification, making the TAS1 C ideal for songwriting, rehearsal and unplugged performance.
Bluetooth Audio Integration for Modern Workflows
Built-in Bluetooth audio connectivity expands the Yamaha TAS1 C beyond traditional acoustic performance. Stream backing tracks, practice along with recordings or enhance solo sets by sending audio directly through the guitar. This functionality simplifies setups while offering greater creative flexibility. Singer-songwriters, buskers and players who prefer minimal gear will benefit from the streamlined design and wireless convenience.
Concert Body Design for Comfort and Balance
The concert-size body delivers a comfortable playing experience with balanced tonal response and focused projection. Compared to larger dreadnought designs, the compact shape offers improved ergonomics while maintaining clarity and articulation. This makes the TAS1 C well suited for fingerstyle playing, light strumming and dynamic songwriting applications. The cutaway design further enhances upper-fret access, allowing for more expressive lead playing and extended range.
Solid Sitka Spruce and Mahogany for Versatile Tone
A solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides produces a clear, articulate voice with balanced lows, focused mids and crisp highs. This classic tonewood combination provides versatility across musical styles while maintaining dynamic response. The TAS1 C delivers enough projection for acoustic performance while preserving the nuance needed for more detailed playing techniques.
An All-In-One Acoustic Solution for Modern Players
With built-in effects, Bluetooth connectivity and a comfortable concert body, the TAS1 C is designed for players who want a flexible, self-contained acoustic-electric guitar. Songwriters, buskers and tech-forward musicians will appreciate its ability to deliver inspiring sounds without additional gear. Combining Yamaha craftsmanship with next-generation TransAcoustic SYSTEM78 innovation, the TAS1 C provides a versatile solution for modern acoustic performance.
