Electro-acoustic guitar from third generation of APX series that follows the specification for APX500II model but introduces an upgrade to the pre amp, using a much-improved System 66, which features 3-band EQ, Volume and a Tuner. Its thin-line, full-size Jumbo body combines incredible comfort, easy top-fret access and a sound perfectly suited to on-stage use with bright, clear mids, balanced highs and controlled lows. Specially designed non-scalloped X-type bracing allows the guitar’s top to sing and maximizes the resonance of the unique body shape for a full, natural tone. Body and sides of the instrument are made of combination of nato and okume wood, top is made of resonant spruce. Instantly recognizable soundhole thickens lower-mid response and gives a more strident, open low end. Nato neck is fitted with rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. Scale length is 650 mm, nut width is 43 mm. Guitar is equipped with the System 66 active electronic that features an under-saddle SRT-Piezo pickup developed by Yamaha. Controls include a 3-band equalizer, an adjustable mid-range frequency control, and a precision chromatic tuner for optimum sound tailoring. The system is powered by easy to obtain AA-size batteries that provide a stable power supply for improved sound quality. Instrument further features a rosewood bridge and die-cast chrome tuners. Body depth is 80-90 mm. Natural colour design.
