The TAS1E Element TransAcoustic Concert acoustic-electric guitar delivers Yamaha’s innovative TransAcoustic technology in a streamlined Element design built for modern acoustic players. Featuring built-in reverb and chorus effects that resonate naturally through the guitar body, the TAS1E creates immersive ambience without the need for amps, pedals or external gear. A comfortable concert body provides balanced tone and focused projection, while a spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides delivers warmth and clarity. Designed for songwriting, practice and performance, the TAS1E Element offers a self-contained acoustic-electric guitar experience that blends traditional tone with Yamaha’s next-generation TransAcoustic innovation.

TransAcoustic Technology With Built-In Reverb and Chorus

The TAS1E Element features Yamaha’s TransAcoustic SYSTEM70 technology, allowing reverb and chorus effects to resonate directly through the guitar body. An internal actuator vibrates the instrument itself, blending ambient effects with your natural acoustic tone while preserving dynamic response. Onboard controls make it easy to dial in subtle ambience or more pronounced effects depending on your playing style. This self-contained design eliminates the need for external gear, making the TAS1E ideal for songwriting, rehearsal and unplugged performance.

Concert Body for Comfort and Articulation

The concert body shape offers a comfortable playing experience with balanced tonal response and focused projection. Compared to larger dreadnought designs, the compact body provides improved ergonomics while maintaining clarity and articulation. This makes the TAS1E well suited for fingerstyle playing, light strumming and dynamic songwriting applications.

Spruce and Mahogany Tonewood Combination

A spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides produces a balanced acoustic voice with warmth, clarity and dynamic response. This classic tonewood pairing supports a wide range of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to rhythmic strumming. The TAS1E Element maintains articulation and projection while delivering the natural acoustic tone players expect.

Mahogany Neck and Walnut Fingerboard for Smooth Playability

The TAS1E features a mahogany neck paired with a walnut fingerboard for comfortable, responsive playability. This combination supports extended playing sessions while maintaining a smooth feel across the fretboard. Streamlined controls and thoughtful design keep the instrument easy to use without interrupting performance.

A Streamlined TransAcoustic Guitar for Modern Players

With built-in reverb and chorus, comfortable concert body design and self-contained performance capabilities, the TAS1E is built for players who want flexibility without additional gear. Songwriters, buskers and aspiring performers will appreciate its simplicity and inspiring sound. Combining Yamaha craftsmanship with TransAcoustic SYSTEM70 innovation, the TAS1E Element delivers a versatile acoustic solution for modern musicians.
