Yamaha TAS3 C TransAcoustic Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Sand Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha TAS3 C TransAcoustic is one of the most innovative acoustic-electric guitars available today — a fully self-contained performance instrument with built-in reverb, chorus, delay, and a looper that requires zero external amplification to use. Built on all-solid-wood construction with an A.R.E.-treated Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the TAS3 C is as impressive as a pure acoustic instrument as it is as a technology platform. With a comfortable concert cutaway body, ebony fretboard, Bluetooth connectivity, and TransAcoustic System76 electronics for plugged-in performance, this guitar is purpose-built for fingerpickers, singer-songwriters, and performers who want a complete, immersive playing experience anywhere they go.

Product Overview

The TAS3 C is constructed entirely from solid tonewoods, a build quality that sets it apart from most guitars in its category. The solid Sitka spruce top has been treated with Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process, which modifies the wood at a cellular level to replicate the tonal characteristics of a naturally aged top — producing a bright, open, and well-developed voice from the first time you play it. Solid mahogany back and sides contribute a dry, airy midrange clarity and focused low-end punch, while the mahogany neck and smooth ebony fretboard at a 15.75" radius make for an exceptionally comfortable playing experience across the full 650mm scale length.

The concert cutaway body shape strikes an ideal balance between projection, tonal warmth, and ergonomic comfort — and the elegant Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to the upper frets without compromising the body's acoustic volume or balance. Body binding in black and a blue ripple pattern soundhole inlay give the TAS3 C a refined, distinctive visual character to match its Sand Burst gloss finish.

What truly distinguishes the TAS3 C is Yamaha's TransAcoustic technology. Rather than simply routing effects through an onboard preamp to an external amp or PA, TransAcoustic uses an internal actuator to vibrate the guitar's body itself — producing reverb, chorus, and delay effects that resonate acoustically through the instrument's top and back. The result is an immersive, three-dimensional effect sound that you hear and feel as part of the instrument, not layered on top of it. Add a built-in looper, Bluetooth audio and MIDI connectivity, and TransAcoustic System76 electronics for plugged-in stage use, and the TAS3 C becomes one of the most capable and self-sufficient performance guitars available at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Serial Number: ILZ150205.

Ideal For

• Singer-songwriters and solo performers who want onboard effects and looping without hauling additional gear

• Traveling musicians who need a fully self-contained performance instrument that sounds great anywhere
• Players upgrading to their first all-solid-wood acoustic-electric with professional-grade onboard electronics
• Performers who want the same stellar effects tones both acoustically unplugged and plugged into a PA via the System76 electronics

Key Features

TransAcoustic Technology with Onboard Effects Yamaha's TransAcoustic system uses an internal actuator to vibrate the guitar body itself, producing reverb, chorus, and delay effects that resonate acoustically through the instrument — no amp or PA required. The result is a genuinely immersive, three-dimensional effect sound unlike anything a standard onboard preamp can produce.

Built-In Looper The integrated looper lets you build layered, multi-part performances directly from the guitar using the simple tap sensor and control set — no pedals, no cables, no external gear required. It's a complete performance tool in a single instrument.

All-Solid-Wood Construction with A.R.E. Top Solid Sitka spruce, solid mahogany back and sides, and Yamaha's A.R.E. wood-aging treatment combine to produce a mature, developed acoustic voice with bright clarity, punchy midrange, and expansive dynamic range well beyond what laminate construction can offer.

Ebony Fretboard and Bridge The ebony fretboard delivers a smooth, fast playing surface with crisp note definition and excellent sustain. Its tight grain and dark color also contribute to the TAS3 C's premium aesthetic alongside the champagne-gold open-gear tuners and blue ripple soundhole inlay.

Bluetooth Audio and MIDI Connectivity Bluetooth integration allows wireless audio and MIDI connection, expanding the TAS3 C's versatility for practice, recording, and performance well beyond what a standard acoustic-electric offers. Combined with the LINE OUT connection for the System76 electronics, this guitar is ready for virtually any performance scenario.

Straightforward Controls Dedicated controls for reverb, chorus, delay, looper, and line out volume — plus a tap sensor for easy BPM input — keep the TAS3 C's powerful feature set accessible and intuitive without getting in the way of playing.
