Yamaha TAG1 C TransAcoustic Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Sand Burst

The Yamaha TAG1 C TransAcoustic Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar expands what an acoustic instrument can do, combining traditional dreadnought tone with the company’s next-generation TransAcoustic technology. Designed for modern players, it delivers built-in reverb, chorus and delay effects that resonate naturally through the guitar body itself—no amp or pedals required. Bluetooth audio connectivity further expands creative possibilities, allowing you to stream backing tracks or music directly through the instrument. Meanwhile, a solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides provides a balanced, articulate voice suited for songwriting, performance and practice, while the cutaway design enhances upper-fret access. Whether you're composing at home, busking or performing live, the TAG1 C offers a self-contained acoustic-electric guitar experience that blends premium tonewoods with innovative Yamaha technology.

Next-Generation TransAcoustic Technology With Built-In Effects

Forming the heart of the TAG1 C is Yamaha’s next-generation TransAcoustic SYSTEM78 electronics system, which creates immersive reverb, chorus and delay effects directly through the guitar’s body. Rather than relying on external amplification, the onboard actuator vibrates the instrument itself, allowing effects to resonate naturally alongside your acoustic tone. This approach preserves the organic response players expect from a dreadnought while adding ambient depth and dimension. Onboard controls allow quick adjustment of effect levels, making it easy to move from subtle ambience to more pronounced textures. Whether you're practicing, recording or performing unplugged, the TAG1 C delivers an inspiring acoustic experience without additional gear.

Bluetooth Audio for Expanded Creative Possibilities

Built-in Bluetooth audio capability allows the TAG1 C to function as more than just a guitar. Stream backing tracks, practice along with songs or add layered textures to solo performances by sending audio directly through the instrument. This integrated functionality keeps setups simple while expanding creative flexibility for songwriting and rehearsal. Buskers, singer-songwriters and players who prefer minimal gear will especially benefit from the streamlined design, while the wireless connectivity supports modern workflows that blend acoustic performance with digital audio.

Solid Sitka Spruce and Mahogany for Balanced Dreadnought Tone

The TAG1 C pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides, producing the bold, balanced response associated with dreadnought acoustic guitars. This tonewood combination delivers clear articulation, strong low-end presence and focused midrange projection suited for a wide range of playing styles. From fingerstyle passages to strummed accompaniment, the guitar maintains clarity and definition. The dreadnought body also provides ample acoustic volume, while the cutaway design enables comfortable access to higher frets for more expressive playing and lead work.

Mahogany Neck and Walnut Fingerboard for Comfortable Playability

Built for comfort and durability, the TAG1 C features a mahogany neck paired with a walnut fingerboard for a smooth, responsive feel. This combination offers balanced warmth and articulation while supporting extended playing sessions. The cutaway design improves upper-fret access for lead work and expressive playing, while the dreadnought body maintains strong projection and dynamic response. Integrated controls are positioned for easy access without interrupting performance, keeping the instrument streamlined while preserving its traditional acoustic feel.

An All-In-One Acoustic Solution for Modern Players

With built-in effects, Bluetooth connectivity and balanced dreadnought tone, the TAG1 C is designed for players who want a flexible, self-contained acoustic-electric guitar. Buskers, singer-songwriters and tech-forward musicians will appreciate its ability to deliver inspiring sounds without additional gear. Combining Yamaha craftsmanship with next-generation TransAcoustic SYSTEM78 innovation, the TAG1 C provides a versatile solution for modern acoustic performance.
