APX500II Guitars Launched by Yamaha at NAMM 2011

Jan. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- The official launch of the APX500II was possibly biggest news to come out of Yamaha at this year's giant NAMM trade show in California. After all, you don't mess with one of the guitar market's best-loved electro acoustics unless you're sure that you've got it right.
The original APX500 was launched right back in 1987 and met the need for a smaller-bodied electro-acoustic guitar that could be handled with ease on-stage, but sounded like a 'proper' acoustic.
Along with the bigger-bodied CPX range, these guitars gave Yamaha dominance of the sector for over 20 years.
So, what about the newly-launched APX500II?
Well, the biggest change for this electro acoustic is in the electronics department where the previously superb pickup and preamp combination has been completely upgraded to meet the exacting demands of the latest stage and studio sound engineering.
The Yamaha APX500II also receives a good helping of aesthetic love with the addition of ivory binding and higher-quality headstock finishing.
Soundslive, the leading UK Yamaha dealer, has stock of this exciting range on its way, but you can take a look at the APX500II right now at http://www.soundsliveshop.com/manufacturer/Yamaha/Electro...
