APX Series
Electro Acoustic Guitars
With their compact cutaway bodies, high-quality acoustic tone and versatile electronics, Yamaha's APXs have been among the world’s best-selling electric-acoustics for over 15 years. Electric guitarists will appreciate the combination of handling comfort and performance power. The latest APX line-up, including a 12-string and left handed model sets a new standard of affordable excellence. Refinements include deeper bodies for a fuller, richer sound, wider fretting for effortless lead and solo playing, and redesigned preamps offering extended tonal control.
APX900
What a guitar! The newest member of the APX family, the APX900 features top-quality flame maple back and sides and a solid spruce top. It delivers a rich, mature tone with punchy projection and bright, long-ringing sustain. A lush and tonally versatile amplified repertoire comes of a newly designed 3-Band preamp, whose adjustable mid-band frequency covers a broad 80Hz-10kHz spectrum. This not only allows control over the midrange but enables reshaping part of the low and high bands in addition to the dedicated bass and treble controls.
