Outstanding value for money guitar!
Color: Old Violin Sunburst
Great guitar, with excellent finish in the Old Violin Sunburst color. Guitar is light and easy to handle, stays in tune well, straight forwards & easy to use electronics. The guitar also has an easy action, great fun to strum or fingerplay, it has surprisingly great sound unplugged for such a thin guitar and is excellent when amplified. A fantastic guitar to learn on or as a workhorse. Outstanding value for money, can highly recommend the Yamaha APX600 OVS!

Yamaha APX600
Color: Oriental Blue Burst
I got this guitar around a week ago and so far I love it. I been playing for around 30 years and for the last four or five years I been playing daily. When it showed up I checked it out and it was pretty much perfect. I got the blue one and its beautiful. Couldnt find any flaws in the finish and everything checked out. Straight neck, action is where I like it for an acoustic and the guitar plays very well. It light with no neck dive and easy to play. The sound of the guitar is very nice. I played some songs and goofed around with it for a while and kinda lost time. Well over an hour that first day and it was very enjoyable playing that guitar. I have around half a dozen acoustic guitars in my collection and one of them is a thinline like this one that I spent a lot of time playing. I find them more comfortable to play than the full size guitars. Ok, the one con I found with this guitar is they could of dressed the fret ends a lot better. There is just the whisper of fret rash. Its easy to take care of yet on a guitar of this caliber, you shouldnt have to. Yet it still deserves 5 stars for after playing it for a week I didnt discover the fret rash until today. I been running my left hand all over that fret board and never felt it until I ran my fingers down the fret ends today. Then I could feel just a hint of fret rash. Five seconds with a 600 grit sanding sponge and the fret rash is gone yet as I said, a guitar of this caliber/price point should need it out the box. Yet I am very happy with the guitar and would recommend it to anyone. Playing the guitar it is very easy to lose track of time, it is that enjoyable to play.

Quite good for the price
Color: Oriental Blue Burst
OK, well I'm a bass player who wanted a little acoustic guitar to mess around with. It needed to be $300 or less. This one came up with great reviews and so I just bought one sight unseen It's really hard to believe that you can get a guitar of this quality and tone for this price. I have to give it 5 stars with an important caveat. What I like: Well built and solid. I particularly like the plastic edging around the body this keeps it from getting dents. Narrow body. I didn't want some big ole clunker for when I'm plunking around while watching movies. Really great sound, both as an acoustic and when plugged in. It's bright and full - very good steel string sound. The electric features are also very good. There are low, mid, and high tone controls for when plugged in. Also a volume control. The built in tuner is fabulous. Note that it works on AA batteries that are built into small pop out compartment that's built into the body. The tuner allows you the center the intonation very closely and easily. It's easy to always be in perfect tune. i'm not sure if the batteries are required to play amplified e. g. whether its active electric. The finish is cool - a greenish sort of blue sunburst. I also like the inlay around the sound hole. Seem like high quality machine heads. We'll see how they hold - not 100% sure yet, but i'll assume the best Problem: Right out of the box the action was way too high.. To remedy this I changed the strings to a "light" set (.11 high E). This helped but not enough. So, I tried adjusting the truss rod. This also helped but the action was still to high for me. So, I very carefully removed the strings, removed and shaved the plastic bridge piece on the bottom - about 1 sixteenth of an inch. Then I worked to get the truss rod in a good position with the new lower string setting. I was also prepared to shave the nut which is also easily removable. As it turned out didn't have to take this step. Shaving the bridge and adjusting the truss was enough to bring it into a really really playable level of action - strings over frets. So, that was a lot to do and i had to be very careful doing it, but it's paid off. It now has really great action like a very good electric guitar that's been set up right. If you'r action is too high you might want to consider having an expert do this. if you do it yourself note that you have to be very very careful. Remember that you can always sand off more off the little plastic bridge piece but YOU CAN'T PUT IT BACK ON. So you might have to keep putting the strings back on and then taking them off until you've got it right. At this point i am very happy with this guitar. My only other comment is that, for me anyway, the neck is very narrow. I'm used to bass necks which are much wider or the strings are typically set further apart., I do have to get may fingers bunched up in a pretty tight configuration as for instance when playing a low A major chord. but that's probably just me. But don't expect a wide neck as on a typical nylon string classical guitar. This is more like a telecaster neck or maybe even a little more narrow than that. Again, for the money, its a really great choice and I highly recommend it with the noted caveat.

An Incredible Choice!
Color: Black
I'd cracked my guitar neck in December, had it repaired, but found it was buzzing when I received a request to play this Sunday. I sought a new one immediately on a very limited budget in stores locally where choices were $400 (not the best quality), and up! So I turned to the internet! After hours of research I found this newly released model by Yamaha, a reputable name for half the price of store bought, with features that seemed to fit my very personal needs! Thinner body, closer frets and strings, which were steel, with electronic tuner & amping. Being petite with 65 year old shoulders it sounded like a match made in heaven! I then checked to see if Amazon, my very proactive online merchandiser, carried it, they did, and paid extra to guarantee 2 day delivery! Excited, with reservations, I waited my 48 hours and received my package in 42! It looked awesome, but I couldn't get it tuned. I called my guitar guy who was pleased to have the chance to see and handle this new release. He said it was way tuned too low and in 3 minutes he had it tuned and making beautiful music in his experienced hands! He and a fellow musician in the shop had nothing but great things to say about my new purchase, so the word is getting out! And my hubby asked around today (he's a band director) and was really pleased to hear great accounts of ownership by parents and through colleagues! So, I came home and played for 90 minutes with and without my amp. It is everything the write ups said it would be and I am thrilled with the smaller size and amazing sound! My whole life of playing (1st Yamaha bought in 1978 after a no name in high school), I struggled with their sizes! And there were very few bar chords I could play! My last guitar was smaller and I finally conquered some bar chords. Now, I'm hoping my reach will be unlimited! I suggest you read the professional online reviews, as well as the detailed specs to be sure this guitar meets your personal needs! Its size in relation to your size should definitely be taken into consideration!

Good beginner to intermediate.

Yamaha APX600 Thin Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar The Yamaha APX600 is an excellent guitar for the price and has been a pleasure to play. The thin body makes it comfortable during longer practice sessions, and the neck is easy to play for both beginners and experienced players. The acoustic tone is balanced, and the built-in electronics produce a clear, natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or PA system. Build quality is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Yamaha—solid, reliable, and well finished. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the factory strings are fairly basic, and replacing them with a higher-quality set noticeably improves both the tone and playability. Overall, this is an outstanding value for anyone looking for an affordable, dependable acoustic-electric guitar that performs well both at home and on stage.

Great Playability. Low Cost
Color: Natural
Plays beautifully right out of the box. I didn't need to set it up or adjust the neck. Very nice electronics and the short scale and thin body make it easy to play. I'm an experienced player and Yamaha never disappoints.

Exceeded expectations
Color: Black
Every now and then I receive something from Amazon that really exceeds my expectations. I ordered this guitar basically to take on the road and camping with me because it has a somewhat narrower body than my others. I wanted something somewhat decent however so the price point was in my sweet spot as I was hoping this unit was my best bang for the buck. Owing a 1983 Yamaha acoustic/electric FG-365se (which they'll bury with me), I would have been happy if this unit sounded half as good. Well it blew me away right out of the box. And I mean,it actually comes in a box. A cardboard box. I was worried what condition it would be in when I saw it sitting on the front step so I anxiously broat in the house, opened it up and inspected it carefully. It was hard to believe but ... perfect. Then I stuck some batteries in the pickup, tuned it up, and I was amazed. Then I plugged it into an amp and let's just say, I shouldn't put it down for the rest of the day. After my initial impression, I looked at it again s few days later just to make sure I didn't miss anything and the only thing I picked up was that the finish around the sound hole could have a bit more attention. But I'm being real picky (no pun intended). I don't if I got lucky or this is what they are putting out for $299 these days. If that's the case, I am impressed. I have been playing guitar fir 56 years and I can tell you this one is worth every penny. Happy trails.
