{"product_id":"apx-thinline-acoustic-vintage-white","title":"Yamaha APX600 Thinline Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Vintage White","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStage-Ready Comfort in a Head-Turning Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a reason the APX series has been one of Yamaha's most enduring acoustic-electric lines. It solves a real problem: how do you get a guitar that's genuinely comfortable to play for hours, sounds natural through a PA, and doesn't fight you on the upper frets? The APX600 in Vintage White checks all of those boxes — and does it with a look that stands out from the sea of natural-finish acoustics on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever felt like a standard dreadnought is wrestling you during a long set, the APX600's thinline body is going to feel like a revelation. It sits close to your body, keeps your picking arm relaxed, and the single-cutaway design means the whole fretboard is yours to explore. That 25\" scale length and 43mm nut width make chord stretches less demanding, which is a genuine bonus whether you're noodling at home or working through a three-hour gig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage White gloss finish gives this guitar a classic, slightly retro vibe that pairs just as well with a clean Fender-style amp tone as it does going direct into a mixer. If you've been looking for an acoustic-electric that doubles as a stage guitar without requiring a second mortgage, the APX600 is worth a very close look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Body Built for Playing, Not Just Looking Good\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha's APX thinline body is the centerpiece of this guitar's appeal. The slim profile keeps the guitar close and ergonomic, while the single-cutaway design opens up the entire upper register — something you'll appreciate the first time you need to reach past the 14th fret. The body uses Nato back and sides, a wood closely related to mahogany in tonal character, contributing a warm, balanced sound with a solid low-mid foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood, Yamaha uses a non-scalloped X-type bracing pattern that's specifically designed to maximize body resonance within the constraints of the thinline format. The result is a guitar that produces more bass response and volume than you might expect from such a slim body. The instantly recognizable oval APX soundhole also plays a role here — its design thickens the lower-mid response for a more open, present low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eElectronics That Actually Work Live\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe APX600 is built with live performance in mind. It features Yamaha's proprietary SRT (Studio Response Technology) undersaddle piezo pickup — the same transducer technology found in Yamaha's more expensive A Series guitars. Unlike a standard piezo, the SRT system uses individual elements for each string, which helps keep the signal balanced and natural-sounding rather than that brittle, quacky tone some piezo pickups are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnboard you'll find the System 65A preamp, which gives you a 3-band EQ, a volume control, a midrange frequency slider, and a chromatic tuner — all accessible from the upper bout. The built-in tuner alone is worth its weight on a dark stage. The whole electronics package is designed to sit naturally in a mix without needing heavy EQ correction at the board, which players who gig regularly will appreciate immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: APX thinline single-cutaway with Nato back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Spruce with non-scalloped X-type bracing for enhanced resonance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Locally sourced tonewood with satin finish for smooth playability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood, 22 frets, with abalone dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25\" (634mm) with 43mm nut width for a comfortable, narrower feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Rosewood with urea saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup: SRT undersaddle piezo with individual string elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: System 65A preamp — 3-band EQ, volume, midrange slider, chromatic tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Gloss Vintage White body with ivory and black binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole: Oval APX-style with abalone rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamaha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e APX600\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e APX600VW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
