About Electric-Acoustic guitars
Yamaha’s electric-acoustic guitars are all about the performance. The finest traditional acoustic construction is matched with cutting-edge pickup and preamp technology to make the ultimate performance acoustics.
ART Pickups
The Acoustic Resonance Transducer (ART) pickup system is designed to be the ultimate acoustic pickup – to provide the natural tone, dynamic range and accurate control necessary to truly reproduce the tone of an acoustic guitar. Purpose-specific, custom built pickup sensors perfectly balance dynamic range and feedback rejection while the contact-sensor design gives a more natural, balanced tone that the ‘string-only’ sound so common with conventional piezo systems.
Multi-way configurations offer separate pickups specifically for bass or treble, giving much more natural sound than adjustment using EQ, and the latest preamp technologies provide accurate, stage-ready control.
Stage-ready ergonomics
Designed to be played live, every detail of our electro-acoustics is designed with the player in mind. From preamps with well-spaced controls, easy to use on the darkest stage, to dual strap buttons, easy access battery compartments and on-board tuners nothing is left wanting.
Incredible acoustic guitars
Even with the best pickups, the latest preamps and the slickest ergonomics, an electro-acoustic has to have the base of a great guitar to perform well. With a choice of body shapes perfect for traditional or contemporary sounds and something to suit every player, whether adding acoustic to a band or playing the most intricate solo fingerstyle pieces, Yamaha electro-acoustics are built to be great guitars on every level and are based on over 40 years of making some of the best acoustic guitars on the planet.
Choice tonewoods, great design, fabulous craftsmanship and an incredible setup, the same on every model in our range, make sure that our electro-acoustics are great acoustic guitars, built to perform, not just interesting electronics fitted to something that looks like a guitar.

These are high quality acoustic guitars featuring tops made from select pieces of spruce on bodies and backs of flamed maple. These guitars are designed to provide great playability for on-stage performance with large and deep bodies that deliver a dynamic sound, bracing designs that resist feedback, and single cutaways that provide access to the upper neck. The CPX900, like the APX900, utilizes Yamaha's A.R.T. (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) pickup system, which uses two additional sub pickups for controlling overtones and resonance.
- APX
-
APX series guitars are designed with a focus on playability. Their thin bodies and cutaways that provide greater access to the upper frets, offer smoother switching between electric and acoustic instruments. The special APX bracing design delivers excellent response with a thicker mid and high range tone. Another plus, along with the APX's great playability, is its capability for smooth lead playing.
- FGX
-
The FGX730SC is the acoustic-electric version of the FG730S. Traits inherited from the L-series such as non-scalloped X bracing and reverse-L block neck attachment, have made it an instrument of high quality. Its clear, bright tone is just at home playing accompaniment as it is playing lead, and an on-board 3-band equalizer with an adjustable mid-range frequency offers superior tone tailoring.
- LSX
-
The LSX series is a guitar with an outstandingly clear and precise sound - a small bodied guitar that simply sounds huge. With a design that emphasises the mid-range response the LSX guitars are perfectly suited to intricate playing styles and detailed fingerstyle playing. Matched with the latest ART pickup system, the LSX guitars let you amplify every nuance of your performance. The LSX26 and 36 models feature Yamaha’s exclusive ARE treatment where the Engelmann spruce tops are pre-aged, physically replicating the changes than an acoustic guitar undergoes with time. These guitars sound like they’ve been played for years, straight out of the box.
