Category-Leading Features: Built-In Effects and Wireless Audio

Standout performance comes from the TransAcoustic actuator system—allowing lush, ambient effects to be heard acoustically, no amplifier required. With Bluetooth and the TAG Remote app, stream tracks or adjust effects wirelessly from your mobile device.

Premium Tonewoods and Professional Construction

Each aspect of the TAS1 C Natural is engineered for tonal richness and lasting reliability. Enjoy a slim, satin neck and walnut fingerboard for smooth comfort during chords or solos. Carefully chosen woods ensure clarity and warmth throughout.

• Top: Solid Sitka spruce — delivers crisp, balanced resonance with strong projection
• Mahogany used for back, sides, and neck gives the guitar warmth and a full midrange, enhancing tonal depth.
• Neck: Mahogany, satin finish — fast, comfortable, and "stick-free" under the hand
