Yamaha TAS3 C TransAcoustic Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha TAS3 C TransAcoustic acoustic-electric guitar delivers a self-contained playing experience unlike any other instrument in its class. Built on a foundation of all-solid-wood construction, it produces rich, resonant tone with detailed warmth across the frequency spectrum — and its built-in reverb, chorus, delay, and looper mean you never need an amp or pedals to sound your best. This is a versatile instrument equally suited to intermediate players exploring technology-driven performance and experienced singer/songwriters seeking a capable, go-anywhere acoustic-electric.
Product Overview
The TAS3 C is built around a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides — a tonewood combination prized for its balanced response, warm low-mids, and clear articulation in the upper registers. The concert-style body with its elegant Venetian cutaway offers comfortable playing in a compact, projection-friendly profile, and the natural finish lets the beauty of the solid tonewoods speak for themselves.
The mahogany neck provides a smooth, comfortable grip that suits extended playing sessions, while the ebony fingerboard offers a firm, responsive surface with quick string attack and excellent note definition. With a 25.59" scale length, 1.732" nut width, and a 15.74" radius, the TAS3 C is optimized for fingerpicking technique and chord-melody playing across all 20 frets.
Yamaha's TransAcoustic System76 electronics are at the heart of what makes this guitar extraordinary. Onboard reverb, chorus, and delay effects are produced acoustically through the body itself — no amplifier or effects pedals required — while Bluetooth connectivity enables audio and MIDI integration. A built-in looper and tap sensor round out the feature set, and when the stage calls for it, the TransAcoustic system delivers stellar plugged-in tone as well.
Ideal For
- Fingerpickers and singer/songwriters seeking warm, articulate tone with onboard effects in an all-solid acoustic-electric
- Performing musicians who want a self-contained acoustic guitar with built-in reverb and looper for live performance
- Intermediate and advanced players looking to expand their sound without relying on external amplification or pedalboards
- Home recording guitarists who value a rich acoustic tone source with built-in chorus and delay effects
- Players searching for the best acoustic-electric guitar with Bluetooth MIDI capability for modern performance setups
Key Features
TransAcoustic System with Built-In Effects
Yamaha's TransAcoustic technology uses an actuator inside the guitar body to vibrate the soundboard itself, producing reverb, chorus, and delay effects acoustically without any amplifier. The result is an immersive, three-dimensional sound experience that comes entirely from the instrument.
Built-In Looper
The onboard looper lets you record and layer phrases in real time — ideal for solo performance, songwriting, and practice sessions. A tap sensor provides intuitive tempo control without interrupting your playing.
All-Solid-Wood Construction
A solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides deliver the tonal complexity and dynamic range that only solid tonewoods can provide. This construction also means the guitar will continue to open up and improve with age.
Venetian Cutaway Body
The concert-style body with Venetian cutaway gives players effortless access to the upper frets while maintaining the balanced response and projection fingerpickers depend on. The body shape provides ample depth and warmth without the bulk of a dreadnought.
Ebony Fingerboard and Hardware
The ebony fingerboard contributes to crisp attack, clear note separation, and a smooth playing feel. Open-gear tuning machines and an ebony bridge complete a hardware package built for reliable performance and stable tuning.
