Its laminated spruce top sits over laminated Nato\/Okume back and sides, producing a bright, focused tone well suited to live performance and practice. The onboard Yamaha System 66 preamp - powered by two AA batteries - pairs an under-saddle piezo pickup with a volume control, 3-band EQ, mid-frequency sweep, and a built-in chromatic tuner, giving players a practical, self-contained amplification system. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge, die-cast tuners, and a 43 mm nut width complete a specification designed to be comfortable and reliable. Now discontinued and succeeded by the APX600, the APX500III remains a well-regarded entry in Yamaha's APX thinline series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA great opportunity to own a Yamaha APX500III at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54625563771217,"sku":null,"price":159.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/6913\/0833\/files\/8b9dcb49-1149-49a0-9e97-8184d6658b82.jpg?v=1787143386","url":"https:\/\/www.audiotrader.co.uk\/products\/yamaha-apx500iii-acoustic-guitar-natural-fair","provider":"Audio Trader","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
