Yamaha APX1000 Black

Born for the stage

Flagship of the APX range, the APX1000 supercedes the old APX900, improving on the incredibly popular previous model with upgraded cosmetics and state-of-the-art technology. The new S.R.T. (Studio. Response. Technology) pre-amp system offers an excellent studio sound, combining an all-new undersaddle pickup with a preamp featuring exclusive mic models to create the most natural electro-acoustic tone of any system.

Getting a great micd acoustic sound is no easy task - and to ensure the mic models for S.R.T. sounded perfect Yamahas engineers traveled across the world to record in studios like NRG and East West in Los Angeles and Oceanway and Warner Chappell in Nashville.

The Yamaha APX1000s 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 maximizes the resonance of the unique body shape for a full, natural tone.

With dynamics, sensitivity and clarity built into the design from day one, the APX1000 is a guitar not to be underestimated.
