While styles have evolved slightly since 1987, the essence of the APX remains the same. The current APX guitars showcase a more natural appearance, a 5mm deeper body for improved bass response and greater volume, and under the hood, a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a responsive, dynamic tone.
Yamaha APX600 acoustic guitar in the color Oriental Blue Burst features a unique under-saddle piezo pickup, Yamaha’s proprietary Pickup-R transducer, the same pickup used in the highly acclaimed A-Series range. This pickup boasts an incredible dynamic range, allowing you to switch from acoustic to electric with a tap. It also delivers a natural tone, feedback rejection, and mix-friendly sound that guitarists need and want. Yamaha’s legendary active preamp remains a major feature of the APX series, and, being built by Yamaha’s audio-visual division, the sound quality is exactly what you would expect from the world’s number one.
The APX600 series, as the archetypal APX, combines the exceptional comfort and on-stage tone of the APX500 with several key features: a thin body and cutaway for excellent playability, a 634mm scale length for enhanced comfort, narrower string spacing to make stretching for chords easier, a new bracing pattern for more powerful bass response, and a stage-focused pickup sound designed to cut through a mix. It also includes an inlaid soundhole rosette for added aesthetic appeal.
 
Strings that add zing to your performance with energizing sound and well-crafted design. Plus, switch from acoustic to electric with just a tap.
 
The Yamaha APX600 thinline cutaway acoustic-electric combines incredible comfort, easy, top-fret access and an incredible sound ready for all stages. This APX600 features a unique undersaddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer. Although its style has evolved, the essence of the APX remains the same.
 
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.
 
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.
