General

The luxuriously finished and professionally voiced Yamaha CPX1200 electro-acoustic bears the superbly lush acoustic sound of a fully solid build coated in an understated transparent lacquer and capped with mother-of-pearl and wood-inlay detailing. The CPX1200 has also been fitted with the very best electronics that Yamaha has to offer, which combines with the construction to complete uncompromising amplified sound - whether taken onto the stage or into the studio.

The Yamaha CPX1200 Electro-Acoustic: Outstanding Acoustic Sound

The soundboard, sides, and back of the CPX1200 have been formed from single, solid slices of wood which, compared to laminated wood, shapes a far richer sonic character to result in optimal resonance, increased volume and excellent sustain. Notes are given long, sparkling tails and a full and open tone which is coloured in by the warmth of the rosewood back and sides, and the bright, full mids of the spruce soundboard.

Exclusive SRT Modelling Technology

Supported by the Studio Response Technology (SRT) of Yamaha’s advanced modelling preamp, the electronics section of this model doesn't just amplify the sound of an integrated pickup, but treats the sound with highly accurate and highly natural sounding emulations of professional studio microphones. This captures the acoustic resonance, the dynamics, and general sonic atmosphere of the guitar to breathtaking effect.

The System62 Preamp with In-Depth Tone Control

The high-grade microphone simulations are selected and sculpted using the System62 preamp control panel which provides the pick of a virtual Neumann U67, Neumann KM56, or a Royer R-122. Once selected, the 'microphone' position can be adjusted using the Focus/Wide control; the Blend pot can be tweaked to mix and balance the output of the built-in piezo pickup and the microphone simulation, and the natural acoustic sound of the guitar can be dialled in using the Resonance pot. The handy Auto Feedback Reduction, or A.F.R., function is a life-saver during shows, while the in-depth three-band equalizer and volume controls are used to polish off the tone. Finished with a digital tuner complete with clear LED display, this stunning model covers every base and does it in elegant style.

Wrote the following about Yamaha CPX1200II Translucent Black Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Acheté Neuve pour Noël...et reçue avec deux petits impacts, dont un sur la table ;-( (L’emballage était nickel, ce n'est donc pas le transport) Donc bien déçu... (déjà utilisée ? Stock B ??? Snif...) Pour essayer (...) de faire le moins de mal possible à notre planète, je ne l'ai pas renvoyée...mais bon
Sinon la guitare elle même correspond à ce que je voulais. Après avoir changé les cordes: impeccable niveau son "acoustique", justesse, précision, équilibre, et encore mieux branchée !! ++ manche très plaisant à jouer ;-)
Belle évolution de ma bien vieille FN595E

Ik heb de CPX1200ii net een paar dagen binnen en ik blijf erop spelen. Ziet er niet alleen cool uit maar speelt ook geweldig fijn. Heb wel de snaren vervangen en verlaagd want dat leek voor mij nergens op. Klinkt helder met voldoende bas en enigszins ingetogen volume wat ik zelf prettig vind. Als het harder moet dan kun je de gitaar inpluggen en dat klinkt ook goed. Bovendien met handige soft case. Aanrader!
