{"product_id":"tag3-c-nt","title":"Yamaha TAG3 C TransAcoustic Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOne Guitar. Built-in Effects. No Amp Required.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's a scenario a lot of players know well: you've got a great idea, maybe a chord progression that's begging for a little reverb, or a riff that would sound incredible layered over itself — but you're sitting in your living room with just your acoustic. Normally, that means either firing up your whole pedalboard setup or just letting the moment pass. The Yamaha TAG3 C was built to close that gap entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dreadnought acoustic-electric has reverb, chorus, delay, and a looper built directly into the guitar body using Yamaha's TransAcoustic technology. String vibrations are converted to electrical signals, processed through the onboard effects, and then delivered to actuators inside the body — so the effects radiate out through the wood itself, not through a speaker cabinet or headphones. The result is a genuinely immersive acoustic playing experience, effects and all, with nothing plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TAG3 C is the second-generation model in the TransAcoustic line, released in 2024. It adds a looper, Bluetooth audio, and a new Delay effect to the original's reverb and chorus — making it the most fully featured TransAcoustic guitar Yamaha has built to date. Whether you're writing songs, practicing along to tracks, or performing live, this is one instrument doing the work of several.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-Solid Wood Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tonewoods here aren't an afterthought. The TAG3 C features a solid Sitka spruce top treated with Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process, which alters the wood's cellular structure to mimic the acoustic properties of a well-aged guitar. The result is a top that sounds more open and responsive than typical new spruce, right out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back and sides are solid mahogany, which contributes warm, focused midrange character and pairs well with the spruce's articulate high-end clarity. The mahogany neck carries a satin (matte) finish for a smooth, fast feel — and the ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge add additional clarity and sustain to the overall voice of the instrument. This is all-solid construction at a level that stands firmly on its own, before the electronics even enter the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTransAcoustic Technology: How It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha's TransAcoustic system converts your string vibrations into electrical signals, routes them through onboard effects processing, and delivers the result to two actuators mounted inside the guitar body. Those actuators transmit vibrations directly to the body, so the natural acoustic tone and the processed sound resonate together from within the instrument itself. No amp, no cables, no pedalboard — just the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TAG3 C is the first TransAcoustic guitar to include Delay alongside Reverb and Chorus. Four streamlined buttons control the effects, looper, and Bluetooth pairing, and a sound-hole dial lets you adjust the line-out volume when connecting to an amplifier for live performance. The tap sensor on the guitar's side lets you record loop phrases on the fly. For deeper control, the free TAG Remote app (iOS and Android compatible) lets you fine-tune effect parameters and manage loop storage from your phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a magnetic charging connection, delivering up to 5.5 hours of play time per charge. Bluetooth audio capability lets you stream music directly from your device and play it back through the guitar body — useful for learning songs, practicing to backing tracks, or just enjoying the experience of your guitar acting as a speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlayability and Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dreadnought-style body gives the TAG3 C strong projection and a full, balanced voice well-suited to strumming and fingerpicking alike. A Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets — useful when you're soloing or working through ideas with the looper running. The scale length is 650mm (25-9\/16\") with a nut width of 44mm (1-3\/4\") and a 400mm (15-3\/4\") fretboard radius, landing in comfortable territory for most playing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinishing details include open-gear champagne gold tuning machines, black body binding, a transparent pickguard, and a distinctive blue ripple pattern inlay around the sound hole. The body carries a gloss poly finish while the neck back is matte for a comfortable, non-sticky grip. When plugged into an amplifier, the TransAcoustic System76 electronics handle the signal, making the TAG3 C a fully capable acoustic-electric for live use as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Dreadnought-style with Venetian cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop: Solid Sitka Spruce with A.R.E.
