Step Beyond the Acoustic guitar

Step Beyond the Acoustic Guitar

Evolving the innovative TransAcoustic Guitar concept of adding effects to your natural sound without external gear, the new generation pushes this forward with additional features including a looper and Bluetooth® support. The entire creative process of listening, playing, and creating is brought together in a single guitar, where inspiration meets innovation.

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.

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.

Actuators installed on the inner surface of the guitar resonate in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations are then transmitted to the body and to the surrounding air, producing rich and immersive effects such as reverb and chorus that actually radiate from within the body.

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.

A compact and intuitive control layout allows easy access to the features supported by each model—such as effect adjustment, looper, or Bluetooth pairing. Small, space-efficient buttons help reduce the amount of body wood removed, preserving the guitar’s natural 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.

Bluetooth functionality enables audio playback from your smart device through the guitar. The sound is transmitted by the vibrations of the actuators inside the guitar, giving a realistic sound that brings music to life.

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 feature, you can effortlessly record and playback your performances. Play melodies over your backing tracks or create unique beats by tapping your guitar. The possibilities for creativity are endless, limited only by your imagination.

Mobile Editor

  • Mobile Editor

The iOS/Android compatible "TAG Remote" app is a dedicated editor for TransAcoustic guitar players. Various settings such as effect parameter adjustment and loop phrase management can be controlled on your smart device.
