Newly Upgraded for 2011 in Oriental Blue Burst Finish

The Yamaha APX500II Acoustic/Electric Guitar, a new and improved for 2011 version of the highly popular APX500. The APX500II has completely new electronics and cosmetics whilst retaining all of the best of the previous model giving you a classic tone both onstage or backstage.

The original APX500 was launched way back in 1987, Yamaha’s APX range was designed to be the ultimate performance electro-acoustic guitar – combining great on-stage tone thanks to a unique body design and the latest pickup and preamp technology with incredible on-stage comfort. Joined later by the bigger bodied CPX series, designed to give a fuller, louder unplugged tone and a different look and voice, the combined ranges have defined the benchmark for electro-acoustic for over 20 years.
