Yamaha TAS3 C Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Sand Burst w/ Soft Case

For players primed to fire up an orchestra all on their own, turn to the Yamaha TAS3 C! The Yamaha TAS3 C, an evolution in their TAS series of electronically-outfitted acoustic guitars, serves up a more compact, concert-style acoustic experience for players with their sights set on smaller-scaled instruments. The TAS3 C presents many of the same fruitful, musical opportunities as previous TAS models with a whole smorgasbord of robust onboard effects including delay, chorus, reverb, and full-on looper.

The TAS3 C is an ideal companion for players looking to compose masterful acoustic tracks all by their lonesome with luscious acoustic effects ready at the push of a button. This all begins with the very bare necessities of quality tonewood construction. A single-cutaway concert-style body is brought together with this model through A.R.E.-treated solid Sitka spruce and solid mahogany. A.R.E., Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement process, treats the Sitka spruce to help it perform its best acoustically and preserve its life for years of use. This classic combo of tonewoods produces an authentically lush acoustic voice to inspire right off the bat. Playability on this smaller-sized body is bolstered by the TAS3 C's mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard which inspire fast and smooth fretting across its entire scale.

Where the fireworks of the TAS3 C really start is with its onboard electronic setup. Built into its body bout, the TAS3 C features push-button dials that introduce actuator-driven acoustic effects like chorus, delay, and reverb that project from within the body itself. These effects build up the overall acoustic presence of the guitar for a thoroughly modern take on a classic concert-sized acoustic.

Thought truly the main attraction of this electronics setup is surely the TAS3 C's onboard looping engine that allows for input-sensing, on-the-fly recording, tracking, and stacking. The TAS3 C features a touch-sensitive circle on its Sitka spruce top that, when tapped, starts and stops the looper for incredibly quick, seamless looping without the use of any other external device. The TAS3 C's rechargeable battery delivers up to five-and-a-half hours of playtime while its onboard Bluetooth streaming function offers exciting new practice and performance opportunities. This Yamaha TAS3 C travels with an included Yamaha hard bag case.

With everything flowing harmoniously, the Yamaha TAS3 C is a guitar to build whole soundscapes with, just give it a tap.
