Yamaha APX600 'Oriental Blue' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Yamaha APX600 'Oriental Blue' is a stage-ready acoustic-electric guitar born from decades of innovation and player-focused design. Originally introduced in 1987 to solve common stage issues for electric players—like feedback and awkward mic setups—the APX series quickly became the go-to choice for seamless performance. The APX600 continues this legacy with a slim, comfortable body, a cutaway for upper fret access, and a neck profile that feels instantly familiar to electric guitarists.

This modern iteration features a spruce top with locally sourced tonewood back and sides, all wrapped in a striking Oriental Blue gloss finish. Its deeper body design boosts bass response and volume, while the non-scalloped bracing enhances resonance and dynamic range. Yamaha’s System65 electronics with a 3-band EQ, tuner, and mid-frequency control ensure natural amplified tone with incredible clarity and reliability—perfect for both live and studio environments.
