## Description

The Yamaha APX 700 II 12 String Acoustic Electric Guitar boasts features and looks that you would normally find on a guitar 3 times its price. High quality tonewoods are crafted into a comfortable thinline cutaway body style, giving you a big sound without overwhelming size. The sound of the APX 700 II 12 String begins with a spruce top accompanied by Nato back and sides, with non-scalloped X-type bracing ensuring a powerful yet controlled tone. With an exclusive thinline body shape, the APX 700 II 12 String guitar boasts a single cutaway that allows for extended range in your lead playing for when you need to access those upper register notes. The slim taper nato neck with a rosewood fingerboard and traditional dot inlays will feel comfortable in your fretting hand. When it s time to plug in, the 700 II 12 String s lush acoustic tone is amplified by an A.R.T. Pickup System (Acoustic Resonance Transducer). This new pickup was designed with a multilayer structure consisting of six layers of different materials. This dampens excessive vibration from the topboard while picking up small resonances to achieve ideal sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance. Also, because the pickup is fitted directly beneath the topboard, it functions as a transducer attached to the body; creating a 3-way configuration. In addition to two main pickups mounted under the saddle, this system has one each on the bass and treble sides to capture the vibrations of the entire length of the strings and body, as well as the sound apos;s bass and treble components. The pickups are laid out in such a way as to achieve clear reproduction even during high-position soloing. Finishes for the Yamaha APX700-12 Acoustic-Electric Guitar include Natural, and Black. Case not included.The Yamaha APX 700 II 12 String Acoustic Electric Guitaris a perfect choice for players who are looking for a versatile, beautiful instrument at a price that is easily within reach.

Review: Timely shipped in single cardboard box. No packaging issues. Craftsmanship and finish is exceptional. Needed a set up as action was a little high. Came with 10's but I put on Ernie Ball 9's 12 string set. Plays great after set up. Neck has a good feel to it, not too small like a Rick,IMHO.Thin body makes it a little more comfortable to play. If you are a solid body electric player, this guitar is for you. Luthier recommends to tune 1/2 step down to reduce stress on bridge. Or tune down after playing,pain in the butt, or play with capo. He recommends this for all hollow body 12 strings.Sounds good unplugged as well as electric, built in tuner a plus. Overall for $400 very pleased, would recommend.
Review: Arrived packed in a box within a box—perfect condition, no dings or dents in either box. Very well set up on arrival: the action is smooth and easy, the strings symmetrically spaced and the nut set just right. Arrived was roughly tuned within an octave; fine tuned it with the onboard tuner and it sounds great! Next day, only minor retuning required. I also have the Yamaha APX 700 six string, and this twelve string’s neck is even more comfortable, plus the concert-style body is very comfortable to sit and play. Still working on perfect fingertip placement for clean dual notes, but the adaptation is easier than I’d expected. The strings are fairly light and the action low enough that there’s little extra stress. Totally pleased with this purchase!
