Comfort and playability
The Yamaha APX600M is a thinline acoustic-electric guitar, which means it has a thinner profile that fits up close to your body. In other words, it's very easy and comfortable to play. However, a thinner body doesn't mean the Yamaha APX600M isn't thick on great sound. It features a spruce top and a rosewood fingerboard that combine to put out a superior, far-reaching tone. Yamaha uses locally sourced tonewoods for the neck and body in an effort to minimize waste and support sustainable harvesting of wood.
Piezo pickup system provides great amplified tone
When you do plug in your Yamaha APX600M, you'll have a solid system to deliver great amplified tone. It has a piezo pickup system, which helps to give it a truly realistic, natural acoustic voice when it's pumping through a PA system. Another cool touch: you've got an onboard tuner, so you can always get your Yamaha APX600M right in tune.
Player Port app: the complete beginner's toolkit
With its wallet-friendly price point and extensive feature set, the APX600M is already a fantastic instrument for beginners or anyone else looking to add a top-notch acoustic to their arsenal. Yamaha is here to sweeten the pot even more, courtesy of their highly versatile Player Port app. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Player Port is a fantastic all-in-one resource for newcomers.
