The Yamaha TAS1E builds on the first generation of TransAcoustic guitars with a sleek, modern design, fuller volume, and newly optimized effects. Built-in reverb and chorus deliver high-quality sound with no amp, no pedals, and nothing to plug in — making it an ideal way to discover and enjoy the TransAcoustic experience at home.

The real magic lives inside the guitar. Actuators mounted on the inner surface of the body react to the vibration of the strings, then transmit those vibrations through the body and into the surrounding air. The effect is immersive reverb and chorus that genuinely radiate from within the instrument and blend seamlessly with its pure acoustic tone.

Underneath the technology is a well-built acoustic. The concert-style body pairs a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, joined by a mahogany neck and walnut fingerboard and bridge. Die-cast chrome tuners, black body binding, a blue ripple pattern sound hole inlay, a transparent pickguard, a gloss body finish and a matte neck finish complete the look.

Controls stay deliberately simple — Reverb, Chorus and Line Out Volume — with small, space-efficient buttons that remove less body wood and help preserve the guitar's natural acoustic voice. Two AA batteries power the onboard effects, and a LINE OUT jack is there when you want to run into an amp or interface. Elixir NANOWEB 80/20 Bronze Light strings, a hex wrench and a hard bag are included.

No Gear Required

Reverb and chorus are built right in, so you get high-quality effects without an amp, pedals or cables. It's the easiest way to explore the TransAcoustic experience at home.

Inspiration On Demand

Listening, playing and creating come together in a single instrument. Adding effects to your natural sound without external gear keeps you in the moment when an idea strikes.

Natural Acoustic Tone Preserved

Yamaha's technology enhances the guitar's own resonance rather than replacing it, so effects blend seamlessly with the pure acoustic voice. Compact, space-efficient buttons also mean less body wood is removed, protecting the unplugged tone.

Built-In Effects

Actuators installed on the inner surface of the guitar resonate in response to string vibration, transmitting it to the body and surrounding air. The result is rich reverb and chorus that radiate from within the instrument itself.

TransAcoustic SYSTEM70 Electronics

The onboard SYSTEM70 electronics drive the reverb and chorus effects with no external processing required.

Simple Control Layout

A compact, intuitive layout puts Reverb, Chorus and Line Out Volume within easy reach. The small buttons are space-efficient by design to minimize how much body wood is removed.

Solid Spruce Top

A solid spruce top anchors the concert-style body for a responsive acoustic foundation.

Mahogany Back And Sides

Mahogany back and sides are paired with a mahogany neck for a cohesive tonewood package.

Walnut Fingerboard And Bridge

Walnut is used for both the fingerboard and bridge, with a R400 mm (15 3/4") fingerboard radius and 44 mm nut width.
