Yamaha APX600 Black Acoustic-Electric Guitar

For an electric guitarist in the 1980s, if they wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options that could truly work. In 1987, Yamaha created the first acoustic guitar that could be taken from a guitar rack, plugged in, and played at volume, without hassle; no more feedback, misplaced microphones, or dreaded, extended sound checks.

The APX series isn't just focused on sound - every element has been optimized to be an easy solution for an electric guitarist on stage; a slim, electric guitar-style neck, a shallow body with a cutaway, and elegant finishes.

In any electro-acoustic instrument, the heart of the sound is the combination of the guitar's sound and its pickup. The latest APX500III features a single-element undersaddle piezo pickup, Yamaha's patented Pickup-R transducer, the same pickup as in the A Series range, boasting incredible dynamic range, natural tone, feedback cancellation, and a sound that is easily manageable for guitarists. The legendary Yamaha active preamplifier is still a great feature of the APX series, and being built by Yamaha's audio-visual division, the sound quality is everything you would expect from the world's number one.

Styles have changed somewhat since 1987, but the essence of the APX is the same as ever. Today's APX guitars boast a more natural appearance, a 5mm deeper body for improved bass response and greater volume, and underneath the top, a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a dynamic and responsive tone.
