However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Yamaha APX700II-12 Electro Acoustic 12-String Guitar is the 12-string version of the model that features styling and construction inspired by the 1000 series guitars, but with an exclusive ART pickup system. It is ideal for gigging guitarists thanks to its built-in preamp and pickup system has been designed to faithfully replicate the natural acoustic voice, offering rich dynamics that show off the guitar's true persona. Its solid spruce top, alongside its nato back and sides, produces a versatile tonality that is well-suited to a wide range of genres and playing styles. The nato individually delivers a resonant rich warmth that complements the solid spruce top's tonal character beautifully.
For players that perform more technical skills, the APX700II-12 features a cutaway profile, enabling easy access to upper frets and offering more freedom across the fingerboard. Finished with subtle ornate details, including sound hole rosette, classic Yamaha headstock and chrome hardware, this beautiful electro-acoustic is sure to look graceful in any venue.

This model features Yamaha's AXP Thinline body, matched with a cutaway profile, combining comfort, easy access to upper frets, and a tonal character that is ideal for stage performance. This body style delivers bright, clear mids, well-balanced highs, and controlled lows with great dynamics, sensitivity, and superb clarity. It also provides comfort due to its slimmer depth and compact size, as well as reducing the likeliness of undesirable feedback when plugged in.
For an added comfort, the APX700II-12 features a cutaway profile that promotes the access to upper the fingerboard, making it easy to reach challenging chords, enabling players to perform more technical abilities. It also features an APX oval sound hole, which thickens its lower to mind response and delivers an open low end, offering both great projection and volume as well as an instantly recognisable appearance.
The APX700II features a crafted solid spruce top, which yields crisp articulation and delivers a broad dynamic range. Spruce is commonly used to construct guitar tops as the wood generates a versatile tonality that accommodates numerous techniques from more aggressive strumming patterns to fingerpicking styles. It also resonates well, whilst remaining strong to deliver a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range, and bright sparkling highs. The versatile top is coupled with nato back and sides, which offer a similar tonal character and appearance to mahogany, producing a rich warm resonance that responds greatly to numerous styles of play.
In order to further enhance this model, it comes equipped with a System 64 preamp, which has been recently developed and designed by Yamaha, making it ideal for live and rehearsal environments. Its 1-way system has two pickups mounted inside of the guitar underneath the saddle, offering a powerful, authentic acoustic tone. The preamp is powered by AA sized batteries, and offers the convenience of an on-board tuner, providing precise and easy tuning with a 3-band EQ.
The APX700II-12 also features special A.R.T technology, which is an innovative system that has four contact microphones situated in the sweet spots of the guitar's bridge, creating a 3-way system with individual controls for bass and treble. This technology dampens vibration from the guitar top whilst picking up resonance to deliver the perfect sensitivity and dynamic balance. Its sophisticated system focuses on the areas of the guitar top that define the guitar's sound, offering superb, amplified sound that is sure to impress crowds.
