The APX Series: A Yamaha Reference for Electro-Acoustic Guitars
Within Yamaha's catalog, the APX series has established itself as a reliable choice for guitarists who alternate between acoustic playing and amplification. The APX600 carries the historic DNA of the range: a body shape dedicated to comfort, a balanced response, and excellent stage adaptability. With its Old Violin Sunburst finish, this APX600OVS version combines a classic aesthetic with a modern approach to electro-acoustics.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The Yamaha APX600OVS is particularly aimed at serious beginners as well as intermediate guitarists seeking a reliable electro-acoustic for rehearsing, live recording, and amplified playing. Its comfort and access to the high frets suit pop/rock, variety, rhythmic folk, as well as accompaniment with a pick or fingerpicking. On stage, its bright character and presence in the mids help the guitar stay well-defined, even within a band.
Sound
The spruce top provides clarity, precision, and good projection, with a clear attack ideal for pick playing. The nato back and sides contribute to a balanced response, with a solid low-end foundation without losing clarity. The X bracing is designed to allow the top to vibrate efficiently, enhancing dynamics and touch sensitivity.
On the amplification side, the SRT piezo pickup combined with the System65 preamp aims for a natural and immediately usable sound. The Volume, 3-band EQ, and mid-frequency adjustment controls allow quick adaptation of the guitar to PA systems, acoustic amps, or interfaces, while the built-in tuner simplifies song changes in live conditions.
