Yamaha APX600M Acoustic Electric Guitar - Matte Finish - APX600MNS

The Yamaha APX600M acoustic-electric guitar is the latest edition of the best-selling Yamaha APX600 guitar series. It features a matte finish on both the body and neck for a cool and pleasing look.

The Yamaha APX 600M acoustic boasts two new matte finishes, Natural Satin, and Smoky Black.

The APX600 is one of the world's best-selling guitars and continues the legacy of Yamaha's thin-line body style that began with the original APX500 decades ago.

Important features on the APX600M thinline Yamaha acoustics include an abalone rosette, 25" scale length, System 65A preamp with onboard tuner, Spruce top, chrome die-cast tuners, and the two new matte colors mentioned above.

The comfortable thin-line body with cutaway of the Yamaha APX600M combines comfort, easy top-fret access, and a sound that's suited for on-stage use - clear mids, balanced highs, and controlled lows.

The Yamaha APX600M acoustics are stage-focused guitars with Yamaha's System 65A preamp and piezo pickup for an authentic acoustic guitar tone. Additionally, they're comfortable for electric guitar players wanting to play acoustic, and acoustic guitarists who desire a smaller (than a dreadnought) guitar.

The new cool matte finishes and legendary sound quality and affordability of Yamaha guitars are sure to make the new APX600M acoustic guitars 'best-sellers". Contact Andy's Music and order yours today.

• Keep It Clean: Wipe the guitar body and neck with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove oils, sweat, and dust. Avoid using standard guitar polish on the matte finish, as it can create an uneven shine.

• Change Strings Regularly: Replace your strings every 1-3 months (depending on play frequency) to maintain a bright, clear tone. Clean the strings with a microfiber cloth after playing to extend their life.

• Tune Frequently: Always tune your guitar before playing. Keeping the correct tension on the strings helps maintain proper intonation and prevents unnecessary strain on the neck.

• Fretboard Care: If your guitar has a rosewood or ebony fretboard, apply a small amount of lemon oil every few months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid excessive oiling.

• Use a Humidifier: If you live in a dry climate, use a guitar humidifier inside the case to prevent the wood from drying out, which could cause warping or cracking.

• Protect the Finish: Since the APX600M has a matte finish, avoid touching it with greasy or sweaty hands. Unlike glossy finishes, matte surfaces can absorb oils and develop uneven spots.

• Check Electronics: Periodically inspect the built-in pickup and preamp system. Replace the battery in the preamp as needed to ensure the best amplified sound quality.

• Proper Storage: Keep your guitar in a case or gig bag when not in use. Store it in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity.

• Adjust the Action if Needed: If you experience buzzing or difficulty playing, the string height (action) may need adjustment. A professional setup can optimize playability.

• Be Mindful of the Input Jack: When plugging in or unplugging, handle the cable carefully to avoid loosening the input jack or damaging the electronics over time.
