A left-hand version of the APX700II is also available. This guitar is sold as a factory second for a 2 small blems in the clearcoat as shown it the pictures, very minor and purely cosmetic.

Take The Stage By Storm

As an electric guitarist in the mid 1980s, if you wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options for you that really worked - and certainly nothing that was designed with you in mind. After talking to guitarists playing gigs of all sizes about what they really needed for a stage acoustic, Yamaha decided to make the first acoustic guitar that could be taken from a guitar rack, plugged in and played at volume & problem free. And so APX was born & designed to meet the tonal needs of both the guitarist and the band as a whole. No more howling feedback, misplaced mics or the dreaded extended sound check.

In any electro-acoustic, the pickup is at the heart of the sound. The first APX guitars were loaded with basic undersaddle piezo pickups and over time, as new pickup technologies became available, APX has featured a variety of systems suited to different playing styles and tonal requirements, several of which are still available today. The latest APX500III still features an undersaddle piezo pickup, but things have moved on since those early models and now it's Yamaha's proprietary Pickup-R transducer – the same pickup as featured in the highly acclaimed A Series range and boasting incredible dynamic range, natural tone and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound that guitarists need and want. Yamaha's legendary active preamp is still a big feature of APX, and being built by Yamaha's audio-visual division, the sound quality is everything you'd expect from the world's number one.

Body Depth And Bracing Pattern

The APX's thin-line body offers incredible comfort, top-fret access, and a sound perfect for on-stage use. Specially designed non-scalloped X-type bracing maximizes body resonance for full, natural tone. Their wide dynamic range, excellent sensitivity, and outstanding clarity make them impressive performers.

Electric System: SRT System For Apx1200ii And Cpx1000

Using advanced Digital Signal Processing and real-world insight into audio technology and recording techniques, Yamaha have developed SRT, a pickup and preamp system capable of delivering an amazingly natural, studio-quality acoustic guitar tone.

SRT does not artificially create a guitar tone, rather it creates a faithful reproduction of the other elements that make up a great guitar sound, the subtle ambience of the real space between instrument and microphone, the characteristic EQ voicing of a great sounding vintage mic, the different resonances captured when you move a mic around a guitar.
