The Yamaha APX 700 II-12 BL at a glance

Thanks to its compact design, the Yamaha APX 700 II-12 BL offers easy handling and extremely accommodating playability. In addition, the electro-acoustic acoustic guitar produces an amazingly loud sound, which can also be amplified with the help of the in-house pickup system. The body is equipped with a generous cutaway so that even the highest of the 22 frets can be reached without any problems. At the same time, the compensated saddle and the finely notched nut ensure clean intonation over the entire 634 mm scale. Smooth tuners are inserted into the headstock, allowing precise tuning of the 12 steel strings. Visually, the instrument is undoubtedly rounded off by the noble black high-gloss finish.

Structure and woods

Since the body features a solid spruce top, the guitar produces a very bright and defined sound with strongly pronounced midrange and treble frequencies. Meanwhile, laminated nato wood back and sides enrich the tone with warm bass frequencies, making the instrument suitable for both expressive Pickings and light strumming. The flat nato neck is equipped with a noble rosewood fingerboard that is easy to use in all frets.

Hardware and design

The saddle and 46 mm nut made of urea guarantee clean sound development in all frets. Chrome-plated die-cast tuners also allow for easy tuning of the instrument. Between the tuners, there is a generous inlay that contrasts the black finish in a very pleasant way. The fretboard is bordered by a cream-coloured binding and features discreet dot inlays for orientation. The oval soundhole features a wooden rosewood and mahogany rosette.
