APX500II: ideal for recording and live performances
The Yamaha APX500II has a fantastic acoustic sound, but it really shines when you amplify it. As an electro-acoustic guitar, it's made to be used at loud volumes on stage, and APX500II has a consistent, clear sound without any muffled layers, making it a favourite amongst many studio and live musicians. The APX500II has a piëzo element in the bridge and an amplifier on the side of the body. This System65 preamplifier is equipped with volume control, 3-band EQ, and an AMF slider for fine-tuning mid-level frequencies and reducing feedback. The cherry on top is the handy built-in digital tuner that you can easily read even on the darkest stages.
