Key Features
Trade in your Yamaha APX500 III Electro-Acoustic Guitar, Oriental Blue Burst with Gear4music. Known for its comfortable playability and modern looks, this guitar is a solid choice for performers of all levels. However, if you're looking for an upgrade or a different sound profile, trading it in could be a smart move. Consider swapping for a guitar with a solid top for richer tones, or perhaps one with a more advanced preamp system, offering more control over your sound during live performances, ensuring you always hit the right note with your audience.

The Yamaha APX500III delivers a pure and unique presence thanks to its combination of a Solid Spruce top, Nato / Okume back and sides and unique APX soundhole. The Solid Spruce top and Nato / Okume back and sides provide a vast tonal range that goes through crisp mids, subtle lows and angelic highs. The APX soundhole helps to thicken the lower mid response and gives a prominent, open low end which is necessary as the body of the APX500III is a thin-line body.
Yamaha's APX500III features an incredibly comfortable design making it practical and enjoyable to play. This comfort comes from the thin-line body shape and the cutaway design that allows you to reach the higher notes, which are in turn picked up superbly by the all new System 66 preamp.
The System 66 electrical pickup system features an under saddle piezo pickup that has been specifically designed by Yamaha to work in sync with the dynamics of this guitar. The system includes a 3 band equaliser and adjustable mid-range frequency control that allow you to shape the tone to your exact needs as well as eliminating any troublesome frequencies that you may encounter at venues. There is also a precision chromatic tuner built in for easy and fast setup. The system is powered by standard AA batteries that provide a stable power supply and consistent sound quality.
