Step Beyond the Acoustic Guitar

Evolving the revolutionary concept of adding effects to your natural sound without external gear, the new generation of TransAcoustic takes this innovation even further. Now featuring a built-in looper and Bluetooth® support, this guitar brings the entire creative process of listening, playing, and creating into one instrument, where inspiration meets cutting-edge technology.

Blending Technology with Tradition

While the design and craftsmanship of this instrument stand out on their own, the real magic lies in the effects. Our unique technology enhances the guitar's natural resonance, delivering immersive reverb, chorus and delay effects that blend seamlessly with the pure acoustic tone.

Bluetooth Support

  • A man and a woman sit talking on the far end of a long sectional couch while the TAG3 C in Natural finish lies across the couch in the foreground.

TAG/TAS3 C features Bluetooth functionality for audio playback. Connect to smart devices and play your favorite songs from the guitar's body. The sound is transmitted by the vibrations of the actuators inside the guitar, giving a realistic sound that brings music to life.

Built-in Effects

  • Illustration showing  placement of the rectangular TransAcoustic actuators inside the TAG3 C: one in the center of the body and one just below the sound hole.

Two actuators inside the guitar respond to the vibrations of the strings, transmitting those vibrations to the body and the air around it. The result? Authentic reverb, chorus and delay effects that radiate organically from the guitar itself, immersing you in a rich sonic experience.

Built-in Looper

  • A close-up shot of the hand of a woman playing the TAG3 C and tapping the looper touch control on the guitar top.

With the onboard looper, you can effortlessly record and play back your performances. You can also layer melodies over backing tracks or create unique beats by tapping the guitar. The creative possibilities are endless.

Rechargeable Battery

  • A close-up of the shoulder of the guitar detailing the connection for the charging cable to the rechargeable battery.  The neck heel strap button is visible.

TAG/TAS3 C features a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery with magnetic charging connection, giving you up to 5.5 hours of play time.

Simple Controls

  • A detail shot of the effects controls and tuner shows four circular buttons arranged in a diamond pattern around a circular power button.

Four streamlined buttons control the effects, looper, and Bluetooth pairing. Plus, a sound hole dial lets you easily adjust the line-out volume. Designed to occupy minimal space, these controls reduce acoustic sound loss, preserving the guitar's rich tone.
