Yamaha APX500III Natural electro-acoustic western guitar

General

The Yamaha APX500III (Natural) belongs to the best-selling series of electro-acoustic guitars in the world. Yamaha is known for producing reliable instruments, and we can clearly see that in the APX500III, which is a reliable, carefully finished steel-string guitar, with excellent tuning stability and a rich, open sound. Of course, this guitar can also be easily amplified - just connect it with a mixing console, acoustic amplifier or external sound card via the standard jack output.

The sparkling APX500III Natural

The sparkling sound that goes hand in hand with steel-string guitars is especially prevalent in the APX500III. Yamaha chose to give this guitar a body that is actually a few centimetres smaller than average, making it a sturdy thinline model with a size similar to the triple-O, which has a number of advantages. First of all, this guitar is extremely comfortable to hold. Secondly, it has a clear, direct sound with less chance of acoustic feedback when you're playing amplified. Finally, the special sound hole offers richer mid-frequencies and tighter bass tones.

An amplified western guitar

The APX500III is the successor to the APX500II, and in this new edition you'll be happy to find a more refined design, along with an improved pickup system. When amplified, the sound is sensed with excellent precision by the piezo pickup, and you can count on better dynamics with a clearer difference between soft and loud playing. The battery-powered System 66 preamplifier can be used to adjust the timbre of the sound, and it ensures that the signal has enough power when you send it to your amplifier or mixer. You can also quickly and easily get your guitar in tune, thanks to the integrated tuner.
