A 12-String APX Continuing a Series Designed for the Stage
This 12-string version of the APX700II incorporates some of the innovations introduced in the 1000 series. The goal is clear: to improve acoustic performance, increase projection, and achieve a more balanced sound, while maintaining the proven APX design that has stood the test of time for over 20 years. An electro-acoustic guitar designed to remain reliable, comfortable, and coherent, whether you play plugged in or acoustically.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The Yamaha APX700II12BL targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking the shimmer of a 12-string without sacrificing comfort, especially in concert settings. It is particularly suited for pop, folk, acoustic rock accompaniments, picking, and rich arpeggios, where the natural chorus effect of a 12-string immediately adds width and brightness. Its APX format also makes it comfortable for long standing playing sessions.
Sound
The solid spruce top provides clarity, definition, and excellent dynamic response, ideal for highlighting the double courses of a 12-string. The nato back and sides reinforce a balanced output, with present mids and controlled projection, useful for maintaining a clear sound in both strumming and arpeggios. When plugged in, the guitar relies on the ART System 64 pickup: a design intended to remain natural and balanced, with a 3-band EQ to quickly shape bass, mid, and treble according to your playing and amplification.
