Yamaha APX700 Acoustic-Electric Guitar

ART comes in two forms. On the APX and CPX700, it s a single-unit dual sensor mounted just forward of the underside of the bridge and linked to a one-way, three-band, mid-sweepable preamp.

On the 900 models, this pair of sensors is augmented by two further single ones, either side of the rear of the bridge and specifically tuned for high- and low-frequency response respectively.

The companion preamp is a three-way affair, allowing individual gain control of these auxiliary sensors, plus there s a master arrangement of volume and three-band EQ. Both the new preamps include an onboard tuner.
