The Yamaha APX700II is a thinline acoustic-electric guitar designed for musicians seeking comfort, playability, and amplified performance. Its slim body depth (80–90mm) and cutaway design facilitate easy access to higher frets, making it ideal for both strumming and fingerstyle techniques. The solid spruce top combined with nato back and sides delivers a bright, balanced tone with clear mids and controlled lows.
 
Equipped with Yamaha's ART (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) pickup system and the System 64 preamp, the APX700II offers a dynamic and natural amplified sound. The preamp features a 3-band EQ and a built-in tuner, powered by easily replaceable AA batteries for convenience. The guitar's aesthetics are enhanced by cosmetic upgrades such as a wooden soundhole inlay, ivory/black body binding, and mother-of-pearl logos on the headstock and fingerboard
