The 12
String version of the APX 5 Electro Acoustic, give you all that great 12
string tone with the quality and economy of the normal APX 5.
Offered in a eye-catching choice of all-gloss body colours, the
entry-level APX5A has all the hallmarks that have made APXs
world-beating electro-acoustics. The compact, cutaway design provides
excellent handling comfort and high-position access, while the deeper
sides add warmth and richness to the acoustic tone.
Powered punch and tonal flexibility are guaranteed with a newly designed
three-band preamp, whose adjustable midband frequency covers a broad
80Hz - 10kHz range. This not only allows control over the midrange but
enables reshaping part of the low and high bands in addition to the
dedicated bass and treble sliders.
APX5A Preamp System
One way systems utilized in the APX5A 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.
