Yamaha TAS1 E TransAcoustic Acoustic-electric Guitar - Ultra Marine

Yamaha TAS1E TransAcoustic Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Ultra Marine | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha TAS1E TransAcoustic is a full-featured acoustic-electric guitar with a genuinely unique capability: built-in reverb and chorus effects that project directly from the guitar body itself, with no amplifier or effects pedals required — available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Built on a solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides in a comfortable concert-style body, it delivers a bright, balanced acoustic voice that stands on its own before the TransAcoustic technology even enters the equation. For players who want inspiration-ready effects at their fingertips in any room, at any time, the TAS1E is a genuinely practical all-in-one solution.

Product Overview

The concert-style body produces a balanced acoustic response with ample projection and depth — a body shape well suited to both strumming and fingerpicking, and comfortable for a wide range of player sizes. The solid Sitka spruce top provides the bright, articulate character that spruce is known for across acoustic guitar construction, with the clarity and note definition that rewards both simple chord work and more complex melodic playing. Mahogany back and sides add warmth and midrange focus to round out a tonally complete acoustic voice in the Ultra Marine gloss finish.

The mahogany neck is carved to a C profile with a satin finish for comfortable, fatigue-free playability during extended sessions. A walnut fingerboard at a generous 15.75" radius provides a smooth playing surface and familiar feel, while the 1.75" nut width accommodates standard fingerstyle and flatpicking technique comfortably. Scale length comes in at 19.87" — a slightly shorter-than-standard measurement that reduces string tension for easier fretting and bending, making the TAS1E particularly accessible for developing players or those transitioning from electric guitar.

Yamaha's TransAcoustic System70 is the technology that makes this guitar genuinely different from any conventional acoustic-electric. Rather than routing effects through an external amplifier or processor, the TransAcoustic system uses an actuator mounted inside the body to vibrate the guitar's top directly, producing reverb and chorus effects that resonate acoustically through the instrument's own wood. Plugged into an amplifier or PA, the System70 electronics also deliver full amplified performance with the same onboard effects available in the signal — making the TAS1E equally capable as a gigging instrument.

Ideal For

• Singer-songwriters and practice players who want built-in reverb and chorus effects without carrying an amplifier, pedals, or a separate effects unit
• Intermediate players and students seeking an all-in-one acoustic-electric guitar that delivers inspiring, studio-quality effects straight from the instrument
• Acoustic players who perform in small venues, living rooms, or open mics where setting up a full amplified rig isn't practical
• Electric guitarists transitioning to acoustic who appreciate familiar effects availability without changing their playing approach
• Idaho Falls acoustic guitar players looking for something genuinely different at No Limit Guitar Co

Key Features

Yamaha TransAcoustic System70 — Effects Without an Amplifier TransAcoustic technology uses an internal actuator to drive the guitar's top directly, projecting reverb and chorus effects acoustically from the body of the instrument itself. No amplifier, effects pedal, or power source beyond the guitar's internal battery is needed — the effects are present and audible in any room, at any volume, whether plugged in or not.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top The solid — rather than laminate — Sitka spruce top produces a more responsive, harmonically complex tone than entry-level acoustic-electrics typically offer at this price point. Solid tops also open up and improve tonally with age and playing, making the TAS1E a better-sounding guitar over time.

Concert-Style Body The concert body shape provides a balanced acoustic response with enough projection and depth for performance use while remaining comfortable for a wide range of player body types. Its slightly smaller waist and lower bout make it particularly well suited to fingerpicking styles and extended seated playing sessions.

Mahogany Neck with Walnut Fingerboard The C-profile mahogany neck with satin finish provides a comfortable, broken-in feel from the first note. The walnut fingerboard's density and smooth grain offer a playing surface with clear note definition and a natural, warm response under the fretting hand.

Plugged-In Performance via System70 Electronics When connected to an amplifier or PA via the onboard System70 pickup, the TAS1E delivers a full acoustic-electric signal with the same reverb and chorus effects available in the amplified output — making it a complete performance tool for stage and studio use without any additional gear.
