Yamaha CPX1200II Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Body depth and Bracing pattern

The medium-jumbo body CPX delivers an open, modern tone with powerful, rich low-end, smooth, delicate highs, and sweet mids. Non-scalloped X-type bracing ensures a strong, rich acoustic tone that remains clear and usable on stage.

CPX Soundhole: Round

CPX’s conventional round soundhole focuses the midrange, while controlling bass, for a direct, powerful sound.

Electric system: SRT system for CPX1200II and CPX1000

Using advanced Digital Signal Processing and real-world insight into audio technology and recording techniques, Yamaha has developed SRT – a pickup and preamp system capable of delivering an amazingly natural, studio-quality acoustic guitar tone.

Sounds that were, until now, only attainable by professional recording engineers using expensive vintage microphones in world-class acoustic spaces are now easily recreated by any player, on stage or in the studio.

SRT does not artificially create a guitar tone, rather it creates a faithful reproduction of the other elements that make up a great guitar sound – the subtle ambience of the real space between instrument and microphone, the characteristic EQ voicing of a great-sounding vintage mic, the different resonances captured when you move a mic around a guitar.

And because SRT uses your guitar’s natural tone as a basis for this process, the result is phenomenally realistic and full of the acoustic character of your guitar.
