Yamaha APX600 Acoustic Steel String Guitar in Natural

Yamaha APX600 Electro-Acoustic Guitar

The Original Stage-Ready Electro-Acoustic

Back in 1987, Yamaha changed the game for performing guitarists. For players who loved their electrics but wanted to switch to acoustic on stage without the usual hassles – feedback, awkward mic setups, or endless sound checks – the APX was the answer. Designed from the ground up for stage performance, it was the first acoustic guitar you could take straight from the rack, plug in, and play at volume — problem free.

Comfort and Playability for Electric Players

The APX series has always been about making acoustic playing feel natural for electric guitarists. From its slim body and stylish cutaway design to the sleek, electric-style neck, every detail is crafted for effortless performance and comfort on stage.

Pure, Dynamic, Stage-Ready Tone

At the heart of the APX600 is Yamaha’s proprietary Pickup-R undersaddle piezo system — the same acclaimed transducer used in the premium A Series guitars. It delivers a clear, natural tone with exceptional dynamic range, impressive feedback resistance, and a mix-ready sound. Combined with Yamaha’s trusted active preamp, engineered by their world-leading audio division, the result is outstanding clarity and power in any live setting.

Refined Modern Design

While the style of the times may have changed since 1987, the APX’s spirit remains the same. The latest APX600 model features a more natural look, a slightly deeper 5mm body for enhanced bass response and projection, and a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a richer, more dynamic acoustic tone.

Features:

• Thin body and cutaway for exceptional on-stage comfort

• Spruce top with tonewood back and sides

• 634mm scale length for easier playability

• Narrower string spacing for effortless chord stretches

• New bracing pattern for improved bass and response

• Stage-focused pickup sound that cuts through any mix
