Yamaha are well known for their Audio and Electronic Engineering expertise. It comes as no surprise then that Yamaha design, engineer and build their own pickup systems for their Electro-Acoustic guitars. The CPX600 features Yamaha’s System 65 pickup system with their SRT pickup that has been specifically designed by Yamaha to work in sync with the dynamics of guitars such as this CPX600 and the thinline APX series.
The system includes an active preamp with a 3 band equaliser and adjustable mid-range frequency control allowing you to shape the tone to your exact needs as well as eliminating any troublesome frequencies that may lead to feedback issues. There is also a precision chromatic tuner built in for swift, easy and accurate setup.
Yamaha are one of the most experienced musical instrument manufacturers on the planet. Their superb craftsmanship, attention to detail along with a reputation for simply building great sounding instruments has earned them the respect of musicians of all levels across all four corners of the globe.
The Compass series CPX600 combines the slick playability and clear, dynamic plugged in tone of Yamaha’s APX electro-acoustic guitars with a slighyly bigger body for a more powerful, louder acoustic sound.
The CPX600 offers the ideal balance between plugged in high-performance amplified tone and traditional acoustic style.
The medium-jumbo body CPX delivers an open, modern tone with powerful, rich low-end, smooth, delicate highs and sweet mids. Yamaha have developed a new non-scalloped bracing pattern that ensures a strong, rich acoustic tone that remains clear and usable on stage and in the studio.
The 25″ scale length is favoured by players everywhere and along with the narrower string spacing results in a supremely comfortable playing experience.
