Product Description

The CPX15S design is influenced by the islands of the Caribbean. The cool Sea-Blue finish over Flamed Sycamore back and sides, multi-wood Palm tree rosette design and dolphin fingerboard inlays, serve as a pleasing counterpoint to this guitar's no-nonsense specifications.

Features:
Thematic Carbbean Design

Solid Sitka Spruce Top

Flamed Sycamore Back and Sides

Mahogany Neck with Ebony Fingerboard

Gold Tuners

System 45 Preamp w/ Piezo Pickup + Microphone

Ocean Blue Burst Finish

Limited Lifetime Warranty

The excellent 2-way piezo/mic system -- the mic mounted in fixed position underneath the bridge plate -- allows both signals to be blended for the ultimate in acoustic-like realism, while the 4-band EQ includes presence for added sparkle and a variable midrange (300Hz - 2kHz) for extended tonal adjustment. The supplied soundhole cover helps prevent feedback in high-volume situations.

CPX15 Controls
The CPX15 features a 2-way pickup system consisting of a piezo pickup mounted in the bridge and a condenser microphone attached to a gooseneck mounted inside the body. While the piezo system reproduces string vibration, the microphone is used to pickup the guitar`s acoustic tone produced within the body.

The CPX15's preamp incorporates a Blend Control to mix Ribbon Transducer pickup's tight electric-acoustic sound with that of the condenser microphone`s rich and warm acoustic tone. The 4-band equalizer equipped with an Adjustable Midrange Frequency (AMF) control offers precise sound tailoring of the overall tone.

Bracing
Bracing is a critical factor in the overall tone produced by the guitar. The Compass series`s use of an X bracing design with placement closer to the sound hole affording greater bass response from the instrument.

Sound Hole Cover
The sound Hole cover supplied with the CPX15 prevents feedback from the condenser microphone when performing live.

Yamaha CPX15SA Caribbean Acoustic-Electric Guitar Customer Review
Sound: This is a solid wood guitar.. solid spruce top with flamed sickamore back and sides. I have played alot of expensive guitars and this accoustically is up there with any taylor, maton really any accoustic I have tried. I have had it for 5 years and it is amazing. Actually I have hardly used it over the past year and to be completely honest I have not tuned it for a year. I pulled it out of the case today and had a play, it was still perfectly in tune... really nice smooth action and a fantastic full sound.. Feature: I have used this guitar pluged in live and in the recording studio and the pick up is awsome. It has a standard pickup and a condenser mic in the body on a goose neck. You can mix between the both and get amazing sounds when hitting the body.. really really good pick ups in this. Ease of Use: As an instrument it is easy to play with a small neck and easy low action, the pickup takes a bit of fiddeling as you can get som many different sounds with it.. so can be a bit tricky.. Quality: As for quality.. these guitars are hand made by the best luthriers in Japan, every one comes with a hand signed card and I have not seen a better finished quitar anywhere. I have a customshop fender and I can easily say that the japanese have a much higher level of quality then the americans do now.. unfortunate but true. Value: This is not a cheap guitar as many would think being a yamaha, it is a top range instrument and is up there with the best, but saying that to get a taylor of the same quality and sound would cost quite a bit more... so the value is pretty good. Manufacturer Support: never needed it... don't imagine I ever will, so reliable

"The best acoustic i've played in every way"
Sound: I played this in a guitar shop crammed full of nice acoustics, and this was the creme de la creme. I don't normally like the sound of the bass strings on Yamahas, but i fell in love with this one. the action is the best i've ever felt on an acoustic and the neck is the perfect shape for my hands (i have very big hands by the way). It is great for strumming and fingerstyle. I spent about an hour in the shop playing it and checking it out. Feature: I can't remember what it was made of but it's got completely solid body (great tone) and I didn't try it with an amp but if the electronics are anything as good as the acoustics it would be great. It has everything essential for a guitar and it comes with a hardcase, so i'm happy Quality: As i don't own the guitar (yet) i cant say too much, but the bracings are all smooth, everything i've seen on it is perfectly done, frets all good, the inlays are all really flush as well as nice to look at. Value: This is the most expensive acoustic guitar i've actually played, but only by about fifty pounds, and it outperformed everything else Manufacturer Support: Can't say much here as i don't own any Yamaha products. The Wow Factor: Oh yeah i want this baby!! I like everything about it! Inlays, colour, sound, feel, shape, all beautiful. Overall: When i get this i can imagine it being a life long possession. They better make these in heaven because i don't want to just spend one lifetime with it!! I wouldn't stop buying guitars but i can't see getting a better acoustic.
Style of Music: Bit o everything, mainly rock and blues and some worship
