For all Fancy guitars and electric amps and the wide range of pedals that I have and that I can test, I spend the vast majority of my playing time with an old guild acoustics on my sofa. I find it easier to go through new songs in the living room, and the rapid versatility of an acoustic guitar is impossible to beat.
How to make something that is so utilitarian and easy even better? If you are Yamaha with its new tag3 C, you add audio actuators, an integrated looper, bluetooth and effects such as delay and reverberation, and you throw a load cable. In doing so, Yamaha has created an amazing piece of musical technology that corresponds to everything I love in my experience as a usual acoustic guitar, but makes me even better with less effort. He even has a large integrated tuner.
The effects of drink, reverberation and delay allow you to practice difficult passages on yourself, to work on solos on changes in chords and to play with different styles and ideas. If you are more a pro than me, you can use the Bluetooth functionality to make it the perfect guitar for street performance without altitude or prolonged practices with tracks of support, as long as your voice does not need a similar invisible help.

Guitar of the gods
Guitar brands have seized new technological straws with somewhat limited results for decades. Modern technologies of the science of materials, 3D printing and molding have brought us new exciting forms, and there are more low noise collection options than ever, but overall very little that makes A great guitar to play has changed in a long time while.
Fortunately for the players, Yamaha engineers had a good understanding of what makes a good acoustic guitar for all this time. The tag3 C looks like the eye that is not formed like a very beautiful acoustic guitar in a slightly smaller hollow cut shape. A solid sitka spruce top, a back and sides in solid mahogany, and a touch of slippery ebony are all characteristics of a well -made acoustics of all times. The neck is thin and modern and playable, and it has a bright and clear tone despite a good amount of weight inside.
