The Yamaha CPX700-12 12 string features a solid Spruce top with Nato back and sides on a body design with volume enough for excellent acoustic resonance. The CPX700-12 features a slightly smaller body than a typical jumbo, making this 12-string easy to handle, with excellent tone thanks to the solid spruce top.

Yamaha's A.R.T. Acoustic Resonance Transducer silver control panel 1-way Acoustic Resonance Tranducer found on the CPX700-12 uses a dual piezo transducer under the saddle . Unlike convention piezo pickups, the ART uses multiple layers of different damping materials between the under side of the guitar's topboard and the piezo crystal to dampen excessive vibrations which can cause distortion. The peizo remains responsive to small resonances, and achieves ideal sensitivity and dynamics for a natural acoustic tone even when amplified.

The CPX700-12 includes an on-board tuner, 3-band EQ and a Compass logo on the headstock.
