Acoustically Impressive, Amazing Plugged In

Whether you're recording or performing, the Yamaha CPX1200II acoustic-electric guitar delivers well-balanced, full-bodied acoustic tone that's a great match for vocal accompaniment. Its rich voice is generated by its medium-jumbo body, crafted from solid rosewood. Clarity and articulation are enhanced by the CPX1200II's solid spruce top, the sound of which will become even more harmonically rich as your guitar ages. Complete with an SRT pickup/preamp system for great-sounding plugged-in tone, you can hit the stage or studio with confidence when you have the Yamaha CPX1200II acoustic-electric guitar.

Superior plugged-in tone with SRT electronics

When you're ready to take to the stage, or record your next song idea, you'll appreciate the sonic detail provided by the CPX1200II's SRT pickup and preamp system. Yamaha's SRT pickup system is equipped with individual pickup elements for each string, yielding impressive note separation, articulation, and dynamics. In addition to volume, tone controls, and a built-in tuner, the SRT system also allows you to select from the sonic profile of different microphones and apply that voicing to your guitar tone.

Solid tonewoods will only sound better as the years go by

There's a reason vintage acoustic instruments are held in high regard — after decades of additional drying time break-in, older acoustic instruments are the perfect example of how woods enhance sonically over time. With back and sides of solid rosewood, and a solid spruce top, the Yamaha CPX1200II sounds rich and full right out of the case — and guitarists at Sweetwater are confident it will sound fuller, more harmonically rich, and more dynamic as time goes on.

Yamaha CPX1200II Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Medium-jumbo body style for a full-bodied acoustic tone
  • SRT/System63 electronics deliver studio-quality sound for direct recording or performance
  • Fine-tune your sound with 3-band EQ, Focus/Wide control, Resonance control, and Blend control
  • Solid rosewood and spruce construction will gain even more harmonic richness over time
  • Includes hex wrench and 2 x AA batteries

Amazing Guitar

The sound is amazing. Bright, clear, and full - with more mids than my Yamaha LLTA. Fit and finish are beautiful, lots of pleasing little details. Not blingy, just classy. For less than half of what other brands with this construction might cost, this is a solid value. I had mine plek'd and I'd do it again without hesitation. Yamaha's are always good right out of the box but this one is incredible. I'm sitting at work right now, on a work computer, dreaming about going home to play this guitar. I went through a lot of gear since I started this journey 3 years ago, this is the first guitar I've 'felt'. This one is a keeper.
Music background: 3 years, recovering from G.A.S.

Why is this Guitar Under the Radar?

Fabulous guitar. The Look: Translucent Black meaning it looks black from a distance, and up close you see the wood grain. Construction: Made in Japan, where the top of line Yamahas are made. Impeccable build quality. Sound: Unplugged, the sound just resonates from this guitar, and multiple options with the electronics provided when plugged in. 3 Band EQ.... Feedback reduction... 3 mic models... and a resonance knob to be used with the mic modeling. I'm partial to the Neumann U67 large diaphragm mic, but personal preferences differ and you may like the Neumann KM 56 small diaphragm, or the Royer R-122 ribbon mic setting.
Music background: Singer Songwriter
