Here for sale we have a Yamaha APX600 Electro-Acoustic Guitar in Vintage White finish. Yamaha's APX Series was first introduced in 1987 with the aim of making acoustic guitars much more usable in stage settings; reducing the feedback that was inherent at the time without having to use a microphone or endure a lengthy soundcheck. The guitars proved extremely popular, and their APX line soon became one of the best selling electro-acoustic guitars in the world. This APX600 was made in Indonesia in 2022, and features a set-neck construction comprising a Laminated Spruce top, Locally Sourced Tonewood back & sides, Locally Sourced Tonewood neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard with matching bridge. Yamaha uses locally sourced woods on their more entry-level instruments to reduce waste and support sustainable procurement through the use of woods that are available nearby. A Urea saddle and nut are fitted, along with a CHrome set of sealed tuning machines. A Yamaha undersaddle piezo pickup is installed, and is wired to Yamaha's SYSTEM65 on-board preamp with controls for master volume, 3-band EQ, Adjustable Mid Frequency (AMF) slider and on-board tuner. The neck plays fantastically well, with a profile which might be described as a very soft 'V' shape. This is a highly ergonomic shape which is comfortable for both chordal and melodic playing, and sadly is less common today amongst a sea of 'Low Oval' and 'C' shape necks. The gloss finish to the rear makes for smooth navigation of the 25" scale, and with the generous cutaway ensures that the full register of the instrument is easily accessible. The Rosewood fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with a nicely flat 13.75" radius is practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The acoustic voice of the Yamaha APX600 is nicely balanced thanks to its small stature. Similar in size to an OM, the low end is unpronounced yet accurate whilst mids are punchy and clear. The Spruce top provides a bright and sparkling treble response as well as a fast and snappy attack. This tone works equally as well as a solo instrument as it does blending into an ensemble or band. The undersaddle piezo pickup faithfully conveys the acoustic tone of the instrument, adding the versatility required for both live and recording situations.
