Yamaha TAS1C Sand Burst Western Guitar

The Yamaha TAS1C Sand Burst western guitar is part of the second generation of TransAcoustic guitars and positions itself above the 1E models by offering enhanced creative possibilities. The concert body provides a comfortable playing position and a pleasing balance between clarity and warmth, while the cutaway offers easy access to the higher positions on the neck.

The solid Sitka spruce top delivers an open and dynamic sound, combined with mahogany back and sides for a warm, rounded tonal foundation. As a result, the TAS1C feels perfectly at home in fingerstyle playing, singer-songwriter settings and subtle accompaniment, while remaining equally capable when strumming.

TransAcoustic Technology and Additional Possibilities

What sets the TAS1C apart is its extensive TransAcoustic feature set. In addition to reverb and chorus, this model also includes delay and Bluetooth audio. As you would expect from Yamaha, the effects are not generated through speakers but through resonance within the guitar body itself, ensuring they remain natural and acoustic in character.

Via Bluetooth, you can easily stream music from your smartphone or tablet, with the sound amplified through the guitar body. This is ideal for playing along with tracks or developing new ideas. The controls are clear and intuitive, allowing quick adjustments while playing. Thanks to the built-in rechargeable battery, the TAS1C is always ready for use, whether at home or on the go.

The Yamaha TAS1C Sand Burst is supplied as standard with a sturdy hard bag, allowing you to transport the guitar safely and store it well protected.

If you wish to use the guitar live, it can easily be connected via the line-out to an acoustic guitar amplifier or a PA system.
