Here for sale we have a Yamaha CPX500 MkII Electro Acoustic Guitar from 2011 in a Black finish. Made in Indonesia, this guitar features a Spruce top, Nato back and sides, a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard, and a Yamaha Preamp and Piezo Pickup System with controls for volume, low, mid, high, an AMF Frequency Slider, and a Tuner.
The gloss finish neck plays well, with a comfortable 'C' shape that the vast majority of players will get along with, feeling smooth and fluid in the hand. Jumbo body contours offer a lively and responsive playing experience, while the cutaway gives excellent access to the upper register.
The CPX500 MkII has a big and bold tone, with a warm low end, a tight and punchy midrange, along with a clear, articulate top end. The acoustic tone is enhanced beautifully by the Yamaha Preamp and Piezo Pickup System. The system does a great job of translating the acoustic tone of the instrument with controls for volume, lows, highs along with a sweepable mid control to really dial in your tone or eliminate feedback efficiently.
