Yamaha APXT2 3/4-Size Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Black

I saw loads of YouTube reviews recommending the APXT2 and haven't been disappointed. Really nice guitar. Looks great, sounds great - obviously a little quieter than full sized when just acoustic (which is actually a big plus when kids are practising) but not an issue when attached to an amp. Yamaha quality makes it really nice to play (especially for smaller hands) and the smaller size makes it super portable. Well worth the price.

I would not use this as an acoustic travel guitar by choice, there are others that sound better, the very small shallow body is never going to sound very full. But I bought is as a guitar to play through a PA system, and it has a really good pickup system that can give a very full sound, especially if you have a preamp or mixer with good EQ. It's very small and compact which I like as my main guitar is a Lukas Brunner B-Compact travel guitar which has convinced me that I don't need a great big box. The Brunner sounds a lot better but it costs more than ten times the price. So this is a very good backup, if you were looking for a great little affordable guitar for gigging with a PA, or busking with a busking amp, this is a very good choice. It's ideal for me as a backup instrument. The pickup is great, it's Yamaha's alternative to an under-saddle ribbon, instead it's attached to the bracing which gives a more natural sound. I have a similar system from K&K on my other guitars and its much better than the ribbon ones. The guitar has a really good playing action, just amazing value all round.

well constructed, good tone,neck slightly too wide for my hands setup done well.great for teaching new starters. I wish there had been more specs (such as neck dimensions) which may have influenced my choice. Overall nice price and well made in Indonesia.

I bought this for my 10 year old son that has been playing guitar for 2 years. He loves it! We needed something he could play on stage, and it is great! It is not super high-end. Yamaha is a name you can trust for quality, and this product delivers that with clear sound, it stays in tune, and we didn’t even do a professional setup and it’s playing well right out of the box. It is much smaller than we expected, as it has a thinner body than most acoustic guitars. He especially loves the built-in tuner since he’s always losing his. If only there was a built-in pick holder!

Estoy fascinada con mi guitarrita, en verdad es pequeña y liviana como yo quería! La ocupo para tocar en vivo en mi trabajo y suena como cualquier yamaha, de lujo!

Já faz alguns meses que comprei e posso dizer com certeza: foi uma das melhores compras que já fiz. A relação qualidade e preço é incrível para o valor do instrumento. Antes da compra pesquisei bastante, comparei vários modelos e o APXT2 realmente se destacou. O som é limpo, a pegada é confortável e o acabamento é impecável, típico da Yamaha. Além disso, o tamanho mais compacto torna o violão muito prático para levar em viagens sem perder qualidade sonora. Sem dúvida, uma escolha certeira para quem busca um violão eletroacústico confiável, bonito e com excelente custo-benefício.

I bought this as a travel guitar. It's well made, it plays well (though I'll probably lower the action just a bit). The gigbag is minimal but does the job. Actually sounds decent amplified. Acoustically, it's fine--loud enough to hear but not so loud that you can't play it in a hotel room. Really just what I was looking for. If you're wanting big acoustic sound, look somewhere else. But that would actually be worse for what I wanted. All in all, I'm very happy with it.
