Yamaha APX600 Thinline Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

Yamaha APX600 Thinline Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

If you're looking for a stage-ready acoustic that blends comfort, playability, and a clear, dynamic sound, the Yamaha APX600 is your perfect match. This guitar is a modern evolution of the iconic APX series, featuring a comfortable thinline cutaway body design that’s incredibly easy to handle for players of all styles, especially those making the switch from electric. The slim body profile is less prone to feedback on stage and offers easy access to the upper freets, making it a great choice for performers.

The APX600 is built with a Spruce top, a tonewood renowned for its versatility and clear, powerful projection. The Spruce delivers a bright, dynamic sound with clarity and precision, responding well to various playing techniques from fingerstyle to strumming. The back, sides, and neck are crafted from Locally-Sourced Tonewood (often Nato for the body and tropical tonewood for the neck), contributing to a well-balanced tonal response with rich lows, clear mids, and shimmering highs. The new non-scalloped X-type bracing pattern is specially designed to maximize body resonance, pushing out a full, natural tone and increasing bass response, even from the thinline body.

Plugged in, this guitar truly shines with the proprietary SYSTEM65 + SRT Piezo Pickup system. This is the same high-quality transducer featured in Yamaha's acclaimed A-Series, utilizing individual elements for each string to capture your guitar's natural acoustic voice with incredible dynamic range and tonal accuracy. The onboard preamp includes a 3-band EQ with adjustable midrange frequency, allowing you to fine-tune your amplified sound to cut through any mix, and a built-in tuner ensures you’re always performance-ready. With its smooth Rosewood fingerboard and comfortable 25" scale length, the APX600 is a versatile, high-value instrument built to perform and inspire.
