Yamaha APX600 Thinline Acoustic Guitar with Pickup - Oriental Blue Burst

In any electro-acoustic, the combination of the guitar’s acoustic sound and its pickup is the heart of the sound. The latest APX600 features a unique undersaddle piezo pickup, 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. Styles have changed a little since 1987, but the essence of APX is the same as ever. Today’s APX600 guitars boast a more natural look, 5mm deeper body for better bass response and greater volume and, under the hood, a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a responsive, dynamic tone. Key Product Features Thin Body and Cutaway For Excellent Playability 634mm Scale Length for Enhanced Comfort Narrower String Spacing Makes Stretching for Chords Easier New Bracing Pattern For More Powerful Bass Response Stage-focused Pickup Sound to Cut Through a Mix Inlaid Soundhole Rosette SPECIAL FEATURES:   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. APX Soundhole : Oval The instantly recognizable APX soundhole thickens lower-mid response and gives a more strident, open low end. Electric system : Piezo pickup system for APX600 This pickup uses individual elements for each string to give an ultra-clear, ultra-wide bandwidth signal with far better dynamic response and tonal accuracy than a regular, piezo pickup.
