Description
As an electric guitarist in the '80s, if you wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options available. In 1987, Yamaha made the first acoustic guitar that could be taken from a guitar rack, plugged in and played at volume, problem free; no more howling feedback, misplaced mics or dreaded extended sound checks. The latest APX600 features a unique under-saddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer featured in the highly-acclaimed a series range, a natural tone and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound guitarists crave. Although its style has evolved, the essence of the APX remains the same. Today, it boasts a more natural look, a deeper body for better bass response and greater volume, and a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a responsive, dynamic tone.

Great quality guitar at a great price ! Sounds great. Stays in tune. BEAUTIFUL COLOR ! You have to see it to truly appreciate the color. This is a medium thickness guitar, which is nice if the wider bodied guitars make your strumming arm sore from hitting the sharp edge of the body. Great guitar for beginners or pro's.

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.

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.

Luckily this one came out of adjustment and couldn't be made better so returned, but don't let that scare you, these yamahas are great. I ended up spending double this on the next level up of Yamaha and it is a HUGE difference in sound quality un amped but that's not what this guitar is for! For what it is it's awesome. Thinnest body is super comfy to play with a strap, my new concert size is a pain when switcging from my strat or PRS. And if you amp this up you can do whatever you want with the sound. A bit of reverb and it sound's like an orchestra. Un-amped...meh, but still fun and completely servicable sound! Action is great, quality product, if I could have both I would, but the 800 dollar Yamaha I got blows 1000 dollar martins away. I played them a bunch so I know. Been playing since all the greats were still doing heroin in the 70's, trust me :)

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!

We don't often plug it in. I bought it because I wanted something with a shallower depth which would be easier for her to play. She just plays at home and stum chords. Without amplification, sounds great in the living room. Sure it's not going to sound as good as deep as a dreadnaught but your average listener probably can't distinguish the difference unless you were to play a dreadnaught and this side by side. She's not a pro musician so it doesn't matter. It's a quality and rich sound. If she wants to play louder, a tiny, lightweight guitar amp would make it plenty loud. Runs on two AA batteries, which are cheaper and easier to find. What's really convenient in our situation is the built in tuner which can be turned on without needing to plug in. Press the button and it'll stay on for a while and definitely long enough for you to tune. If you never use the pickups, it's certainly not a waste because the electronics make it possible to have a built in tuner. Even without intending to ever use the pickups, I know it'd be nice to have in there because if we ever change our minds we aren't stuck trying to trade a guitar, having pickups put in (expensive), or using those terrible soundhole pickups. I'd choose this over the other Yamaha's that don't have pickups in this price range. She likes it a lot. Easy to play. A half turn of the truss rod was all that we needed to adjust it to be closer to ideal. We could have it worked on some more or paid someone to get it from 80% ideal to 100% ideal, but as is. it's already great.

Great guitar. I have had a Yamaha for years. Wanted a new smaller one. Looks amazing in white. Similar price as sweet water and guitar center. Opted for Amazon because I buy so much and the returns are easy if need be.

Update: Electrified After a week of playing it acoustic only, it seemed time to take it to another level. Plugged into my new Blackstar ID Core V2 20 Watt amp, my love affair with this beauty continues to deepen. Its surprisingly good pickup and equalization electronics make this guitar an astonishing deal. Without a doubt, the best purchase I've made on Amazon. Initial Review: Just got it. I'm only going to address the un-electrified aspects in this review. More in a few days. The action is excellent. It is very easy to play. It is beautiful. If the amplified functioning is anywhere close to the very pleasing general acoustics I've experienced, I will likely be completely satisfied with the purchase. I've owned acoustic guitars, an electric, a semi hollow jazz guitar, and this is my first acoustic-electric. I started playing sixty years ago, completing the venerable Mel Bay and Mickey Baker jazz courses. Then, science and medicine took up way too much of my time, and I played quite casually for about thirty or so years. But, for the last three years, guitar is my primary interest again. Eclectically, I play, arrange and write mixed rock, alternative, country, blues jazz, and semi classical. I got over trying to impress myself with flashy or expensive purchases a long time ago. I've been playing a Favilla F5 acoustic only, of late. But, as my play list now shaves more toward stylists like St. Vincent, Jack White and those similar ilk . . . I bought this guitar, a Squier Jazzmaster (the middle price one) both from Amazon Warehouse, and a Blackstar amp, for all of < $550 (sans accessories). And don't I feel like a clever guitarist! Because decades ago, you couldn't buy really good stuff without spending way too much. Now you can. Oh, and I don't listen to this nonsense about the size, and "beginner" vs pro stuff. What is that about? More in a week or so about this Yamaha, in the amplified mode.
