Yamaha APX 600 ‘Black’ Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Yamaha APX600 ‘Black’ is a sleek and performance-ready acoustic-electric guitar designed for stage dominance. Originally crafted to solve the common challenges electric players faced when switching to acoustic on stage, the APX series pioneered feedback-free amplification, fast setup, and electric-like comfort. The APX600 continues that tradition with modern enhancements, including a deeper body for improved bass and a refined look to suit any stage setting.

At the heart of the APX600 is Yamahas under-saddle piezo pickup paired with their proprietary System65 preamp, delivering a natural, articulate tone with excellent feedback rejection. The slimmer body and cutaway design offer superior playability, while the 634mm scale length and narrower string spacing enhance comfort and make complex chords easier to play. Finished in a high-gloss black with stylish details like an inlaid soundhole rosette, the APX600 stands out visually and sonically.
