Bringing together features like a spruce top, a nato/okume back and sides, and a non-scalloped x-style bracing pattern for eliciting maximum resonance and tone from the shallower body style, the Yamaha APX500III Thinline Acoustic/Electric Guitar sits in the sweet spot between comfortable playing without sacrificing sound. Coming out of the gate with a beautifully EQ'ed sound that brings a full low-end thanks to the body shape, the APX500III's tone can be further sculpted thanks to the built-in piezo pickup and Yamaha's System 66 preamp and electronics.
