Yamaha CPX600 Electro Acoustic, Black - Secondhand

Full Description

Magnificent tonewoods

The Yamaha CPX600 achieves its sparkling clarity of the higher range and the enchanting depth of the lower end from its spruce top. Whilst being classic and traditional in appearance, its crisp tone is versatile enough to be used by a wide range of playing styles, and it is suitable for musicians of any level. Accompanying the spruce top, the nato back and sides expand on the soundscape, making it even more wonderfully dynamic.

Nato is extremely similar to mahogany and brings a sense of warmth to the guitar's sound, perfectly suited to its acoustic style. The rosewood fingerboard then further enriches the angelic tone. This makes it perfect for intimate playing sessions, and gives the guitar spirit and character which work superbly in small venues. If you are wanting to play to larger audiences, however, don't worry, the dynamic range and crystal clear tone mean it can project to all corners of the room.

Perfect your sound

Equipped with Yamaha's SRT piezo pickup, the Yamaha CPX600 offers a dazzling sound. The pickup relies on its ultra-wide bandwidth signal to offer an excellent response with brilliant tonal accuracy, and this makes every single note sound exquisite. Without taking away from the acoustic qualities, the pickup works with the SYSTEM65 preamp to produce a sound that is unique to you. You can shape your tone to suit you using the 3-band EQ, mid FQ and volume controls, making every song shine as it should. The tuner then ensures you sound absolutely flawless. Better still, the controls are disguised immaculately on the side of the guitar, so you can retain its enchanting vintage aesthetic and play with a sound to match.

A beautiful, balanced tone

Mounted inside the Yamaha CPX600 is the non-scalloped X bracing, a very desirable feature of an acoustic guitar. The careful design of the interior, along with the CPX soundhole, offers a sound which does not ignore those all-important midrange frequencies. This results in a delightful balance, with no frequency from either end of the guitar's extensive range becoming overly powerful. Adding to the guitar's full-bodied sound, the bracing also provides a strong and saturated tone. And tt comes with practical benefits too. It improves the body's durability and strength, allowing the spruce top to vibrate, so it can provide a sparkling tone whilst maintaining its stability.
