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

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.

I bought two for my sons to learn on but I enjoy playing them too. Nice little guitars. I'd pay $100 more to get it with a hard case. It's got a good bright tone and plays well enough guitar to justify a nice case. I haven't plugged it in to an amp yet. The built in tuner is a nice feature. Ive heard the case for mini taylor & martin fits it but they cost as much as this guitar. I still might buy a couple as my sons will probably play on these a long time and hard cases are much better for traveling.

Wife wants to play guitar again after a long hiatus. My full sized Takamine with fat strings is too big and heavy for her. Got her this 3/4 Yamaha and I fell in love with it. I may have to get another one for her because I've been hogging it. It has a great voice for a 3/4. The action is nice, the built in tuner is a real treat. Never had one before but it is unbelievably convenient. I don't plug it in often but I had to check out that sound too. The electronics sound decent. Can't crank it up too loud or it starts to feedback, but I'm actually sitting right on top of my small but punchy VOX amp so I can't really say how it would work for playing out. The reviews convinced me to buy this one. The best review only had one major complaint; the tuning pegs. I agree they could be better, but I don't think they are awful. I have to tweak the tuning just a little once or twice a day before I play, but it isn't like it goes out of tune when I'm playing, even when I'm beating on it hard. I think it is well worth the price and was surprised by the volume it produces. Much better than expected. If you don't find the tuning pegs worthy, I think the instrument is good enough to spend money on for an upgrade, but I don't plan to. It is solid, light weight, comfortable, nice sounding, well designed, feature rich and handy. I'm keeping it in the corner by the bed and I pick it up every chance I get. I haven't played guitar much the past few years so having a guitar at my fingertips all the time is helping me get my callouses back quickly. No matter what you play, if you lose your callouses, rebuilding them is always painful for a few weeks, but this instrument is pretty easy to play. I've gone through the process several times over the years with my Takamine. This is far less painful. Perhaps that means it will take longer, but at least I can still use my fingers to type long reviews in the meantime. No avoiding the pain regardless of what you play, but there is pain, and there is agony. This guitar hits a sweet spot somewhere in between. It's just right for young or old, big or small. (FWIW, I heard an interview with Clapton where he confessed he doesn't play much when he's not working and when he has to prepare for a tour, even he has to go through the callous building process). Well, I'm way off topic now. Again, great little guitar. Go for it.

Really happy with my purchase. Lower price range and plays accordingly. Well built very tough. The fret board/ frets are a bit rough as expected for the price range. Electronics work as they should. Sounds really good through an amp. The body is small so expect a smaller twangy sound on the high strings, almost mandolin sounding. Gets much fuller through an amp. For a guitar I bring with me everywhere it suits my needs. Don’t expect little Martin or baby Taylor sound out of this thing but it does make the sounds you should expect. Would give a 5th star if the action was a little better, barre chords can be a bit tough, and if the neck and frets were smoother.

Perfect Guitar! Nice sound with built in Tuner! Superb! 10/10. Excellent packaging & on time delivery!

This is not typically your main acoustic. This is a little 3/4 size to toss in the car (gently) or take to something casual. Something to figure songs out with.. Or your main parlour guitar. For what it is it is beautiful in its own way. A little joy to play! I have very large hands and I don't have trouble with the size. The strings are factory but sound good. I use 13-56 strings on my main guitar so this is a nice break. It's smaller size is comfortable but the sound is obviously smaller than a full size but much better than most acoustic travel guitars. It sounds nice. As a begginer guitar, it is perfect. The electronics are great. However, the gig bag is just to carry it, and will not protect it.. At all! The tuners are plastic but stay in tune. For the price it is fun and a good deal. Can you hook this up to play live? Sure, it will not be a deep rich sound but even unplugged it sounds nice. To sing over it? I would go for something full size with better projection.. Much quieter than a full size. Or simply plug it in! Intonation is good and string height is fine for a beginner. You aren't going to be bending/shredding with this! This is a very nice traveler. I suggest you try one at a music store and you will see what I mean about the sound. 3/4 size sound, but a good sounding travel guitar. I own a backpack guitar by Martin and this is so much better. For what it is, and used for, I love it.

I think this is a great guitar. I’ve had it for a while and the small size just makes it more likely to take it places.

I got this because it looked cool and when I was a beginner, I thought it sounded good. But then I started to get high quality guitars and discovered the sound is not so good, I gave it away. But, like I said in the title, it is great for beginners.

La clavija de la sexta no se ajusta. La madera no fue lijada antes de ser pintada y se ve los canales que produce la sierra al cortar la madera. No son buenas maderas, las cuerdas muy corrientes. No es justo el precio para la calidad de la guitarra. Por mucho menos se consigue más calidad.

Excelente guitarra, sonido espectacular y una inmejorable relación calidad/precio, tamaño perfecto para cargarla a dónde vayas, obviamente el sonido acustico es menos fuerte que una guitarra full size pero aún así es de mis favoritas.

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.

Lovely guitar very small and cute

初めてのギターとして買いました。 チューナーが内蔵なのがとても便利です。 音の大きさもマンションで練習する位なのでちょうど良い大きさです。 音色も大きな高いギターに比べるとイマイチかもしれませんが、思っていた以上に綺麗な音がでているとおもいます。 何よりもコンパクトで引きやすいのが気に入っています。
