Yamaha TAG1E Natural

The 2nd-generation TransAcoustic: the all-in-one Yamaha experience

The Yamaha TAG1E and TAS1E models complete the second generation of TransAcoustic guitars, designed to deliver a “studio” feel from the very first minutes of playing. The principle is simple: the guitar features built-in acoustic effects (reverb and chorus) controlled via simplified controls, with the added option of using a mobile editor to fine-tune your experience. An ideal approach for exploring new sonic atmospheres, at home or in rehearsal, without any additional equipment.

Who is the Yamaha TAG1E / TAS1E for?

These TransAcoustic guitars are particularly suited to beginner to intermediate guitarists looking for an immediately inspiring instrument, as well as more experienced musicians seeking an expressive acoustic guitar to enrich their accompaniment. The Dreadnought body (TAG1E) highlights pick playing, pop/rock and powerful strumming, while the Concert body (TAS1E) is perfectly suited to fingerpicking, more nuanced arrangements and long playing sessions thanks to its more compact body.

A warm acoustic sonic signature, enhanced by reverb and chorus

The solid spruce top provides attack, precision and dynamics: it responds finely to variations in right-hand technique, from light playing to more forceful strumming. The mahogany back and sides enhance the sense of warmth and roundness, with prominent mids that help the guitar sit naturally in a vocal/guitar mix. The walnut key and ebony bridge contribute to a clear, stable response, pleasant for both open chords and arpeggios.
The TransAcoustic advantage lies in the sense of “space” added by the built-in effects: reverb provides spaciousness and depth, while chorus thickens the sound and adds a more enveloping texture. The result is an acoustic guitar that sounds wider and more immersive, without relying on an amplifier, interface or pedals.

Recommended compatible accessories

To complete your instrument with ease, you can add a clip-on tuner (compatible with all acoustic guitars), a selection of picks to suit your attack, a guitar stand for safe storage, and a microfiber cloth for maintenance. A semi-rigid case is included for convenient everyday transport and protection.
