YAMAHA APX1200II & CPX1200II £1,198 EACH ElEctro-acoustics http://vault.guitarist.co.uk Yamaha APX1200II & CPX1200II £1,198 each Yamaha’s flagship electros receive a couple of upgrades and updates… by Steve Harvey D ue in no small part to their playability, versatility and general onstage competence, Yamaha’s APX and CPX electro ranges are a popular choice for gigging and recording players.
YAMAHA APX1200II & CPX1200II £1,198 EACH ElEctro-acoustics needs a very clear, powerful signal to work well and no existing pickup was giving us what we needed. But the original embedded pickup made adjusting the saddle height extremely hard, so we redeveloped it to get the same performance from a separate undersaddle. And, as a by-product to the SRT-driving capability, the new pickup’s output is higher, clearer and much more dynamic.
