Blending premium features with professional-level performance, the Yamaha 700 Series guitars take inspiration from the acclaimed 1000 Series, delivering a refined balance of tone, feel, and stage-ready functionality. At the heart of the 700 Series is Yamaha’s exclusive ART (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) pickup system, a groundbreaking technology designed to capture the full body resonance and natural dynamics of the guitar with stunning accuracy. Unlike typical piezo systems, ART faithfully reproduces even the most nuanced tonal variations, allowing the distinct characteristics of both APX and CPX body shapes to shine through with clarity and authenticity. Whether you prefer the compact, modern feel of the APX or the deeper, more traditional tone of the CPX, you can be confident your individual playing style will be represented with rich, expressive detail both on stage and in the studio. The 700 Series doesn’t just stop at tone—it’s also available in 12-string configurations for both APX and CPX models, and a left-handed version of the APX700II, ensuring players of all styles and preferences can enjoy its versatile performance. Combining stunning design, ergonomic comfort, and exceptional plugged-in sound, the Yamaha 700 Series is built for players who demand character, clarity, and consistency every time they perform.
