Yamaha APX600 APX Shape Rosewood Oriental Blue Burst Acoustic Guitar

As an electric guitarist in the 1980s, there were limited possibilities for playing acoustic on stage. Yamaha created the first acoustic guitar that could be removed from a guitar rack, plugged in, and played at full volume without any problems; no more howling feedback, misplaced mics, or dreaded extended sound checks. The new APX600 boasts a novel under-saddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha patented SRT transducer found in the critically acclaimed a series range, a natural tone, and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound that guitarists love. Although its style has evolved, the APX's essence has not.The Yamaha APX600 thinline cutaway acoustic-electric guitar offers excellent comfort, easy top-fret access, and a sound that is ready for any stage. The Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer is used in this APX600's undersaddle piezo pickup. Although its style has altered, the spirit of the APX has not.This pickup employs separate elements for each string to provide an ultra-clear, ultra-wide bandwidth signal with significantly superior dynamic response and tonal precision than a traditional piezo pickup.The APX's thin-line body provides exceptional comfort, top-fret access, and a sound that is ideal for on-stage use. Non-scalloped X-type bracing maximises body resonance for full, natural tone.
