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 YAMAHA TransAcoustic TAG3 C (Sand Burst) 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.
