Product Description
The CPX series has always placed emphasis on playability, stylish thin body profile and cutting edge electronics. The Yamaha CPX700II Medium-Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers upgraded cosmetics, solid Sitka spruce top, revamped A.R.T. preamp, and the same exceptional playability.CPX Soundhole: RoundCPXs conventional round soundhole focuses the midrange, while controlling bass, for a direct, powerful sound.The more traditional CPX is great for any purpose from acoustic use at home or in the studio to full- on stage performance. Powerful, musical acoustic tone and great playability sit perfectly with natural, controllable plugged-in sound while subtler new finishes stop short of APXs modern looks but offer more personality than traditional acoustic guitars.CPX Body Depth:95 -115mm (3 3/4- 4 1/2 )With an exclusive Medium-jumbo body, CPX guitars boast powerful, rich bass combined with smooth, delicate highs and sweet mid-range for an open, modern voice. Non-scalloped X-type bracing ensures a powerful yet controlled tone that allows the guitar to deliver strong, rich acoustic sounds while still remaining clear and usable on-stage.A.R.T. (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) technologyYamaha 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 soundboard while picking up small resonances to achieve ideal sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance. Also, because the pickup is fitted directly beneath the soundboard, it functions as a transducer attached to the body.System 64System 64 is an original preamp system newly designed and developed by
