CPX15E, CPX15N, Electric Acoustic Guitar specifications

The Yamaha APX-9C is a standout model in the world of electric acoustic guitars, offering a blend of exceptional craftsmanship and innovative technology. Renowned for its unique design and stunning sound quality, the APX-9C is perfect for both amateur and professional musicians.

One of the defining features of the APX-9C is its body shape. The guitar sports a thin-profile cutaway design that not only enhances playability but also provides comfortable access to the higher frets. This makes it an excellent choice for players who like to explore intricate solos and complex chords. The smaller body size contributes to a focused tone, ensuring that the guitar's sound cuts through without overwhelming other instruments in a mix.

Constructed from high-quality solid spruce for the top, the APX-9C delivers a warm and dynamic sound, while the mahogany back and sides add depth and resonance. The combination of these tonewoods results in a balanced tonal quality, making it versatile for various musical styles from folk to rock. Additionally, the guitar features a rosewood fingerboard that enhances playability and provides a smooth surface for fretwork.

A significant highlight of the APX-9C is its built-in electronics. Yamaha's System 63 preamp and piezo pickup system provide accurate sound reproduction when plugged in. This ensures that the guitar retains its acoustic character in live settings, minimizing feedback while delivering a rich and powerful output. The onboard tuner is a handy feature for performers, allowing for easy tuning adjustments between songs.

Aesthetically, the APX-9C is striking with its natural finish and simple yet elegant inlays. Its sleek design is complemented by functional details such as the adjustable truss rod, which allows for optimal neck relief and action adjustments suited to personal preferences.

Overall, the Yamaha APX-9C electric acoustic guitar is a versatile instrument that satisfies the musical needs of a wide range of players. With its combination of lightweight design, high-quality materials, advanced electronics, and striking aesthetics, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a reliable and beautiful guitar for performance and practice alike.
