YAMAHA APX500 MKIII | ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC GUITAR ORIENTAL BLUE BURST FINISH

A stunning guitar for the beginner through to the professional player.

APX series guitars are designed with a focus on playability. Their thin bodies and cutaways that provide greater access to the upper frets, offer smoother switching between electric and acoustic instruments. The special APX bracing design delivers excellent response with a thicker mid and high range tone. Another plus, along with the APX's great playability, is its capability for smooth lead playing.

Upgraded Electric System and Excellent Playability

The new Mark III version of Yamaha's best-selling electro-acoustic guitar brings improvements to scale-length, neck width, back side and neck material as well as an upgrade to the electronics - the APX500III features System 66.

The APX's thin-line body combines incredible comfort, easy top-fret access and a sound perfectly suited to on-stage use with bright, clear mids, balanced highs and controlled lows. Specially designed non-scalloped X-type bracing allows the guitar’s top to sing and maximises the resonance of the unique body shape for a full, natural tone. With dynamics, sensitivity and clarity built into the design from day one, APX is a guitar not to be underestimated.
