A CPX with the APX spirit: the same philosophy, more body
The CPX600 carries the playability and electro efficiency DNA of Yamaha APX models but in a more "traditional" format. Its Jumbo-style body provides greater acoustic volume, with a very appreciated sense of power reserve when playing chords or arpeggios. The "Root Beer" finish enhances this classic and elegant look, designed as well for home use as for the stage.
Who is it for, and what styles?
The Yamaha CPX600 is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a reliable, easy-to-adjust, and enjoyable electro-acoustic guitar, but it also works very well as a "plug and play" stage guitar for more experienced musicians. It is particularly suited to pop, folk, variety, acoustic rock, and vocal-guitar accompaniment, delivering a clean and defined sound once plugged in.
Sound
The spruce top provides clarity, attack, and good definition, ideal for highlighting right-hand nuances. The nato (back, sides, and neck) tends toward a balanced response, with present mids and a warm feel, helping the guitar "fill out" well in rhythm playing. When plugged in, the combination of the SRT piezo and System65 preamp offers a precise and usable signal, while the 3-band EQ and Mid FQ control allow fine adjustment of the character to suit a PA system, acoustic amp, or recording.
