YAMAHA DEBUTS APX3 ACOUSTIC/ELECTRIC
—Lower Cost Model Features Laminate Spruce
Top, Competitive Pricing—
ANAHEIM, CA—Since its introduction, the guitars of Yamaha’s
APX Series have become the instruments of choice for many performers,
and have garnered a reputation as one of the world’s most
admired performance acoustic/electric guitars. Guitarists cite
the fast neck, smooth action, high-tech electronics, sleek,
characteristic thinline body design and incredible tone as favorite
features. For Winter NAMM 2003, Yamaha Guitars expands the popular
APX line with the introduction of the APX3 acoustic/electric
guitar.
The APX3 represents a lower-cost version of the Yamaha APX5A,
with a laminate (as opposed to solid) Spruce top. Other features
include a Nato neck, Rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets, Rosewood
bridge, Nato back and sides, black multi-body bindings and diecast
chrome tuners. Electronics include a System 46 preamp with a
piezo pickup. Available finishes include Black, Natural, Sandburst
and Translucent Blue.
"The APX3 is designed for the player who wants the playability
and sound of the APX, but may not have the budget for the more
‘premium’ instruments in the line," states Joseph
Brasler, marketing manager, Yamaha Guitars.
The APX3 is currently available, and includes the Yamaha Limited
Lifetime Warranty.
"Although the APX3 offers a competitive price point,
it doesn’t ‘cut corners’ on features or quality,"
adds Brasler. "It would make a great first or second instrument
for either the professional musician or the casual player."
