Yamaha APX500 III
APX series Acoustic-Electric Guitars by Yamaha
Vintage Sunburst
The third generation of Yamaha`s APX500 is so much more than mere update. APX500 III aims to keep the 500 series on the throne of the lower intermediate class. Single-cut APX body is now made of nato and spruce (nato on the sides and in the back, with the spruce sound board on top), and has the standard thinline contour. Beneath the sound board, Yamaha opts for the standard X bracing pattern, while the top is fit with a fixed rosewood bridge. Underneath the saddle of the bridge, Yamaha installs a piezo pickup. Side-mounted preamp (three-band equalizer and an on-board tuner) completes the renovated System 66 electronics pack. Nato neck is attached at the 14th fret and features the standard 20-fret rosewood fingerboard on top.
