Yamahas 700 range of electro-acoustic guitars feature styling and specifications pioneered by the ground-breaking 1000-Series models but with the addition of the exclusive ART pickup system.
Designed to capture the guitars full body resonance, ARTs ability to faithfully recreate natural tone and dynamics means that the subtle differences between APX and CPX guitars are perfectly recreated, allowing you to pick the guitar that suits your style and know that character will always shine through.
CPX Soundhole :RoundCPXs conventional round soundhole focuses the midrange, while controlling bass, for a direct, powerful sound.
ART Pickup System A.R.T. (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) technology)Unique multilayer structure achieves optimum dynamic balance.Yamaha electric acoustic guitars have consistently used piezo pickups to reproduce the pure sounds of the acoustic guitar. But piezo pickups tended to overreact to changes in attack, which in turn caused distortion.To achieve ideal playability, we had to improve the way that these dynamics were controlled.To provide a solution to this issue, the new pickup was designed with a multilayer structure consisting of six layers of different materials.This dampens excessive vibration from the topboard while picking up small resonances to achieve ideal sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance. Also, because the pickup is fitted directly beneath the topboard, it functions as a transducer attached to the body.
