Manufacturer's Description for Yamaha APX7A Thinline Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Yamaha APX7A is a new and improved version of the successful APX6A acoustic electric steel string. The overall body design is slightly deeper with a more oval shaped soundhole. Improvements have been made in the neck for greater comfort and adaptability, as well as state-of-the-art electronics and exciting new finishes.
APX Guitars With their compact, cutaway bodies, high-quality acoustic tone and versatile electronics, Yamaha's APXs have been among the world's best-selling electro-acoustics for over 15 years. Electric guitarists, in particular, appreciate the combination of handling comfort and performance power.
The latest APX line-up, including 12-string and nylon-strung models, sets a new standard of affordable excellence. Refinements include deeper bodies for a fuller, richer sound, wider fretting for effortless lead and solo playing, and redesigned preamps offering extended tonal control and, on the top-range APX9C and APX9NA, 2-way under-saddle/mic powering. And don't forget to check out the mini, thinline APXT Traveler models - ideal for music on the move or specialist applications.
APX7A Preamp System One-way systems utilized in the APX7A feature a piezo pickup mounted under the saddle. The newly designed preamp section provides a 3-band EQ along with an Adjustable Midrange frequency control that offers an extensive range of tonal variation. All controls are placed close to the playing position for quick access while performing.
X Bracing Next to the selection of the woods, one of the most critical factors affecting the overall tone of the guitar is the bracing of the guitar top. The steel string APX models utilize an X Bracing design that is placed closer to the sound hole to provide greater bass response from the instrument.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"zZounds ships promptly and everything always arrives on time and intact. I couldn't imagine having a complaint about this fine vendor." - customer on January 15th, 2012
Sound:
Sound is very good. I migrated from an APX5A and the sound on the 7A is definitely superior, plugged in or unplugged. I use my 7A with a Zoom 504 effects box in chorus mode running through a Peavy Ecoustic 112 and everything works toward a rich, full sound.
Feature:
Components on this guitar are top-notch. Tuners are upgraded, neck also....and the solid top makes for a superior sound over my previous guitar. Action of the neck is very fast, and the electronics are also superior.
Quality:
All materials seem to be first quality. Fit and finish is first rate. Reliability is unknown, but based upon my other Yamaha reliability should be flawless.
Value:
I did a lot of comparison shopping and feel very good about my purchase of the APX7A. The price is of this guitar is comparable with low end professional quality instruments but at a significantly discounted rate.
Manufacturer Support:
Never had to deal with the manufacturer because Yamaha products have a rep for being good, well made, and reliable.
The Wow Factor:
Aesthetically pleasing, feels great, plays great, sounds great.
Style of Music: Contemporary Christian
