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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Modified Mar 19, 2022: I'm still loving this guitar and I'm playing it every day. The small size is super-convenient and I'm pulling it out of the case every day to practice for an hour or two. I also wanted to add that the string height was great for me out of the box, and that the strings do not hurt my fingers like they have on other acoustics (until adjusted). I did want to mention though, that now 2 months out of the box I am noticing the string issue that a few people have mentioned. For me it is still staying in tune great (so far) but when I detune the strings (for different types of songs on Xbox) I notice that on the 2 highest sounding strings (1-e & 2-B) the tuning keys are very loose and therefore not precise enough to tune and hold that tune. It isn't a showstopper for me and as soon as I retune back to something like E standard everything is great again. I will probably take the advice of a few people on the reviews and replace with better tuning keys and restring/retune the guitar at a shop when I get a chance. Still an AWESOME purchase for me! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought this guitar as I am travelling in Central America. It is small, easy to handle, and sounds great. Sometimes the higher strings sound a bit uke-like but that is a bit expected in a body this small. I have not had any of the workmanship issues that others have spoken about. The tuner works well and the strings have not come out of tune in the couple of weeks that I've been playing it. It came packed well and there was no paint chipping that others have noticed. I plugged it directly into my Xbox and play it like an electric but look forward to playing well enough that I can take it to the beach to play around a bonfire.

É bem pequeno do jeito que eu precisava, som muito bom, é mas alto do que se imagina e muito lindo. Veio com alguns detalhes mas deu pra passar. Só o preço que poderia ser melhor, porque tá um pouco alto.

Súper hermosa, un sonido impresionante, ahora es mi guitarra favorita, la uso todo el tiempo y llevo a todas partes...debo conseguirle una bolsa acolchada que la proteja bien...

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.

Réception plutôt rapide, mais les cordes n'étaient pas protéger ! Légères rayures sur la face avant ! Après signalement, une très bonne réactivité de la part du site, finalement je la garde quand -même Le son acoustique plutôt moyenne dû à la qualité des cordes. Sur ampli bien ! Cette petite guitare mérite une meilleure qualité de cordes. Pas déçus par la taille facile à jouer et vraiment pratique pour les voyages.
