CPX Series
Electro Acoustic Guitars
Yamaha's CPX Compass mini-jumbo design, introduced in 1998, has fast become a favorite among electric-acoustic players. These distinctive cutaway instruments are known for their satisfyingly warm low end and clear, ringing highs, and come with various pro-quality pickup systems including Yamaha's new A.R.T. system.

CPX900
Slightly smaller and more comfortable to handle than a full-size jumbo but still with a large soundbox and robust sound, the new CPX900 is another fantastic Yamaha instrument for ambitious guitar players. Sporting a solid spruce top, the back and sides are made of beautiful flame maple, a wood known for its punchy, precisely articulated tone and smooth bass performance. An excellent new 3-way system delivers a perfect signal that is processed in a first class preamp with 3-Band EQ and integrated tuner. In terms of cosmetics, the CPX900 uses newly designed positioned markers and double sound hole inlays for outstanding stage presence.

CPX700
Like all CPX models the new CPX700 comes with a slightly smaller body than a full-size jumbo. This makes it much easier to handle but don't worry because it's sound is still bigger than life! The handsomely crafted guitar features a solid spruce top and nato back and sides and produces a bright, richly textured sound that will gradually mature. But that's only half the story, because the instrument's new one-way pickup system, in combination with a 3-Band EQ (with integrated tuner), provides a perfect amplified sound too.
