Yamaha APX 700 (Black)

APX series guitars provide maximum playability

With the launch of the APX series in 1987, Yamaha set itself the task of creating the most functional electro-acoustic guitar that could meet the needs of the most discerning musician. The combination of user-friendly design and unsurpassed practicality, the presence of advanced sound reinforcement systems, and time-tested assembly technology made the APX a series to be looked up to to this day.

With unique pickups and preamps, a stunning new guitar design, the 2011 APX and CPX series represent a significant step forward in the series, keeping the same guitars' principle - to combine design perfection with superior sound.

Combination of quality sound and ergonomics

The sleek body of the APX series guitar provides maximum playability, easy access to the top frets and stage-perfect sound with a bright mids, balanced highs and moderate lows.

Special one-piece, no-cut, x-shaped ribs maximize body resonance while also adding a melodious top to the guitar for rich, natural sound. The dynamics, sensitivity and clarity of the sound inherent in the design of the APX are also indisputable advantages of the guitar.

For easy access, the controls of the built-in piezoelectric transducer are located on the upper side of the shell of the instrument. The battery compartment is located on the same side next to the neck for easier battery replacement.

Pickups A.R.T.

The APX-700 series guitars have the design and characteristics inherited from the 1000 series, but feature the exclusive A.R.T. pickup system.

Designed to capture holistic body resonance, the A.R.T. has the ability to faithfully recreate natural sound and dynamics.

System 64 is the original preamp system created by the Yamaha guitar development team. The single-band system combines two piezoelectric pickups located inside the cabinet under the saddle. The best combination of an instrument with a piezoelectric pickup has been achieved through numerous tests to obtain a natural acoustic sound. The system is powered by AA finger-type batteries for optimum power for quality sound. A high quality tuner is also built into the system.
