The Yamaha CPX500 acoustic electric guitar is a Yamaha Compass (medium jumbo) model with a Spruce top, eastern mahogany back and sides, die-cast tuners and System 55T preamp, and is the full bodied "big brother" to the APX500 model.
The CPX 500 acoustic electric guitar features non-scalloped, X-type bracing positioned closer to the sound hole to enhance the bass response and improve volume. It produces an overall rich sound with powerful lows and clear highs. The top is made from select spruce and the guitar comes in four beautiful finishes: black, natural, old violin sunburst, and dark red burst.
The CPX500 features the Yamaha System 55T electronics with built-in chromatic tuner. The tuner is easy to use, is very accurate, and features an auto-off feature after one minute. The preamp controls include low, mid, high, mid sweep, and volume. The pickup is mounted under the bridge, and the battery compartment is located on the side for easy access and replacement.
The CPX 500 is designed to provide years of great playability for on-stage or studio performance and delivers a dynamic acoustic sound, and is an ideal choice for rock, blues, or country styles alike.
