CPX is great for any purpose. It satisfies your need in acoustic guitar anywhere from
living room, studio to stage. It plays naturally unplugged and it screams when lined out.
The deep body CPX produces rich acoustic tone and resonance. Great tonal range, from
deep low to silky high, this is a loud, boomy, yet sensitive acoustic guitar. Even with ter-
rific body resonance, feedback is well-controlled. Because of the special bracing pattern
and new Yamaha’s original calibrated preamp, you will never experience feedback.

CPX15II
An image of sailing vessels in search
of new worlds is the theme used on the
CPX15II. Signal flag position markers
adorn the neck while beautiful inlay
work depicting three billowing flags sur-
rounds the sound hole.
CPX15EII
East Version
Mystical scenes of ancient Egypt are the
theme for the East model. The 12th fret
position marker is an exquisite Eye of
Horus design done in blue. The sound
hole is surrounded by ancient hiero-
glyphic inlay work.
CPX15WII
West Version
The West model evokes images of dry
winds blowing across broad American
landscapes. Fret markers are based on
designs of Native American concho orna-
ments and long horn inlay surrounds the
sound hole.
CPX15SII
South Version
The South model depicts Caribbean seas
with its deep ocean blue hue. Position mark-
ers create a scene of coconut leaves shining
with the light reflected off of the waves.
Inlay around the soundhole depicts a beach
scene changing from evening to night.
CPX15NII
North Version
The North model evokes images of frozen
north. Fret markers are whale’s tails
rising above the water’s surface, which is
represented by the frets.
Intricate inlay work around the sound-
hole features exquisite images of the
midnight sun and aurora.
