Hey all,
I purchased this Yamaha CPX500FM new about a month ago as a gigging guitar. The idea was to have an instrument that sounded good plugged in and to save wear and tear on my Lowden. It sounds great plugged in, looks very nice with it’s flamed maple top and old violin sunburst finish, but I just can’t bond with the neck. So, off it goes to a new home. This is a Nato back and sides, laminated top guitar with a cutaway for right handed players. It’s in beautiful, as new condition. If there are any dings on it, I didn’t see them today while polishing off the fingerprints. Nice low action for fingerstyle play. We are including a HSC which we purchased with it, and some Yamaha polish, floor stand and such that also came with it. We paid $ 449.00 in the door for this guitar with accessories.
Price is $ 300.00 for guitar, case and accessories. Shipping not included.
Here are some specs from the Yamaha web site and a few pics we took today.
