Yamaha APX600 OVS Acoustic-Electric Guitar Old Violin Sunburst

The Yamaha APX600 Thinline Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar combines incredible comfort, easy top-fret access and an incredible sound ready for all stages in your life. Now featuring a distinct oval abalone rosette, the new APX600 will strike a chord with any recreational acoustic player that wants to plug-in.

As an electric guitarist in the '80s, if you wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options available. In 1987, Yamaha made the first acoustic guitar that could be taken from a guitar rack, plugged in and played at volume, problem free; no more howling feedback, misplaced mics or dreaded extended sound checks.

The latest APX600 features a unique under-saddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer featured in the highly-acclaimed A Series range, a natural tone and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound guitarists crave.

Although its style has evolved, the essence of the APX remains the same. Today, it boasts a more natural look, a deeper body for better bass response and greater volume, and a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a responsive, dynamic tone.

Features

• Slim thinline cutaway body for exceptional playing comfort
• Spruce top with nato back and sides for balanced tone
• Upgraded non-scalloped X bracing for increased responsiveness
• Yamaha SRT piezo pickup with System65 preamp and 3-band EQ
• Deeper body design enhances bass response and volume
• Distinctive oval abalone/ABS soundhole inlay
