    WONDERFUL LITTLE GUITAR!

    WONDERFUL LITTLE GUITAR!
    I bought this guitar at a brick and mortar retail store (so I could try it before buying). The guitar sounds great for its size. It's well-built and definitely worth the money. Makes a perfect guitar for young students, or a travel guitar for adults who already know how to play. I'm almost 70 and I've been playing guitar off and on for many years. I enjoy this guitar very much because it's light-weight, small, and easy to just grab and play (for hours on end). If you plug it into an amp it sounds amazing. I was looking for a small guitar, and I tried many nylon string classical guitars, but I just didn't like the ukulele-like sound that nylon string guitars produce. This is a steel string guitar with standard spacing, and it sounds like a steel string guitar should sound. Obviously it doesn't have the fullness or depth of a full-size acoustic guitar, but for its size it sounds quite good. It holds tune well. Comes with a Yamaha gig bag. Has a truss rod. Has a built-in tuner, and an internal pickup for those of you with an amp. For the price, you simply can't go wrong with this amazing little 3/4 guitar.

    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.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2019
    Having now played this guitar for 3 months, I am amending my original review to include new comments and opinions - all of them good.

    As one of my photos shows - this really is a SMALL guitar. There are 3/4 guitars which aren't actually that diminutive. A Yamaha 3/4 classical is significantly larger than this APXT2, as is shown in a photo. It is perfect for young players or for an adult who wants to 'couch noodle'.

    The instrument uses laminate contruction. Combined with its body size, the sound isn't especially individual but it is well balanced. With its shorter scale, I wasn't sure if the strings might tend to be too slack, but there were no such problem. The action is a tad high for my tastes, but the quality of fretting is superb. Even when I used a Shubb capo as far down as the 10th fret (!!!!) there was no hint of buzz nor stopped notes. When I restring there won't be any problem lowering the action and the trussrod is easily accessed via the soundhole if necessary.

    I am happy to say that of all the guitars I've owned and played over the years, the fret job on this little APX2 is up there with the very best - and that includes high-end instruments such as a Faith jumbo, a Faith parlour, a Taylor T5z, and a Taylor 12 string. FULL MARKS AND 6 STARS TO YAMAHA FOR THAT.

    The silk finish for neck and back looks good and the neck is extremely comfortable with a definite 'C' profile but without being too thick nor skinny. Just right. The high gloss soundboard is definitely very glossy and, like everything else, is well finished with no discernible flaws.

    The EQ isn't the most sophisticated that I've ever encountered (1x volume and 1x tone). There is also a tuner with an excellent, clear display but which doesn't mute the guitar at the amp when it's being used. Played through a DVMark, a Yamaha THR5a and a small Laney Ironheart amp, the sound is excellent. Maybe because its a 3.4 size or because the body is laminate, but I found that when playing electro and by using the tone control AND playing between the saddle or the lower end of the fretboard, I could get a much wider range of tones than I expected. The more I have played this guitar, the more I have liked it and come to love it.

    The gig bag is adequate and of good construction.

    Hopefully, the attached annotated photos will provide evidence for my comments. I added two more photos for this updated set of comments. This is an extremely good LITTLE guitar and as long as you don't want a booming bass, it is a fine instrument.
