YAMAHA APX700IIBS DETAILS

Featuring 64 1-Way A.R.T. Electric System with two contact pickups.

The Yamaha APX700II BS Thin-Line Acoustic Electric Guitar is 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.

The 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.

The 700 series guitars feature styling and specification driven by the 1000-series guitars but with the exclusive ART (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) pickup system. The A.R.T. system is designed with a multilayer structure consisting of six layers of different materials. This dampens excessive vibration from the topboard while picking up small resonances to achieve ideal sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance. Also, because the pickup is fitted directly beneath the topboard, it functions as a transducer attached to the body.

Detailed Features:

  • Body depth and Bracing pattern: The APX's thin-line body offers incredible comfort, top-fret access, and a sound perfect for on-stage use. Specially designed non-scalloped X-type bracing maximizes body resonance for full, natural tone. Their wide dynamic range, excellent sensitivity, and outstanding clarity make them impressive performers.
  • APX Oval Soundhole: The instantly recognizable APX soundhole thickens lower-mid response and gives a more strident, open low end.
  • 64 1-Way A.R.T. Electric System: System 64 is an original preamp system newly designed and developed by Yamaha's guitar development team. The 1-way system incorporates two contact pickups mounted inside of the body underneath the saddle. Best matching between guitar and pickup was obtained through numerous trials using a number of voice variations in order to produce the most authentic acoustic tone possible. The system is powered by easy to obtain AA-size batteries that provide a stable power supply for improved sound quality.
  • With dynamics, sensitivity and clarity built into the design from day one, APX is a guitar not to be underestimated.
