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.

  • It is a very nice guitar
Size: Thin Body
I was very happy to see how well packed it was. I was very surprised that the action was normal. I was expecting the action to be high and had already planned on having it lowered. I am very happy with the guitar.

  • Great guitar for the money.
Size: Thin Body
I purchased this Yamaha guitar for several different reasons. First of all I wanted an acoustic electric guitar, I wanted a slimmer body, I wanted a more narrow fret board for my smaller fingers. I wanted a guitar made with quality in mind but at a reasonable price. So the Yamaha APX 500 seemed to fit all of those needs. As soon as I received it I took it to my local music store and had new lightweight strings installed as well as a professional setup. This cost about $40.00., but it made all the difference in the world as to how easy it is to play and how good it sounds. I really love this guitar, but warning, if you have big fat fingers this is not the guitar for you! The strings are very close together especially the first three. The built in tuner works great but the preamp isn't the best. Connected to a good amp it sounds terrific! This guitar would be fantastic for anyone with smaller hands and slimmer fingers. It was worth every penny that I paid for it. I hope this helps in your selection process. ... show more

  • Going to storm the stage
Size: Thin Body
“I would like to start by saying that I am a beginner and have no prior experience playing the guitar. However, I believe that the Yamaha APX 600 is a great guitar for beginners. It has a rich tone and beautiful quality, making it a great value for the price. I was looking for a guitar that was made with quality in mind but at a reasonable price, and the Yamaha APX 600 fit all of those needs. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great guitar to learn on.” ... show more

  • Top Quality!
Size: Thin Body
First of all I have no ties to Amazon nor Yamaha and I am writing this review to hopefully be invited to Vine!! Please! Now for the review. This is my first purchase of a music instrument. I never thought it would be done through Amazon but Amazon has always been there for my needs and problems! This electric acoustic guitar is top notch!! I wish I bought it years ago but never had enough money to justify it. I still don’t, haha. I am a total noobie so please don’t just take my word but if you have a chance to see I. A retail store, check it out! This is a beautiful guitar and from what I have seen is built to last me for several years or possibly decades! It’s built that well! I tuned it (my first time) in 15 min with a separate tuner! If I had to say anything negative it would be the built in tuner . Now I admit I am new to playing so I felt the built in tuner is difficult to use and it’s so much easier with a visual color lit tuner! They are cheap! Like I said earlier this guitar is beautiful and I have absolutely no regrets buying it! There are cheaper ones available but I am overly impressed with the build quality of this Yamaha!! Don’t trust me! But you really should purchase this and if you do not agree with my review , take advantage of Amazon refund!! But I am confident you will, like me, fall in love with this well made beautiful guitar!!! ... show more

  • Concerned about condition
Size: Thin Body
I bought this guitar because I wanted an acoustic that had am electric feel, the thin line feels very similar to an electric which makes it comfortable vs the dreadnoughts thick body. This guitar looks beautiful and has a richer tone than I was expecting (tested before plugging into am amp) which was a pleasant surprise and it's definitely worth the cost for a good beginner's guitar. I would've given 5 stars however when it got to me it had started to separate and bow on the back near the Jack so I am returning it and getting a replacement. I will do a follow up review once I get the replacement and had a little time to play on it. ... show more

  • Featherweight!
Size: Thin Body
For those that are not familiar with the term featherweight, it means “Light Weight” as in , if you bump it, literally, you will crush it. The sound acoustically is great but quality not. Really would have given a better rating if it didn’t crush so easily. PS had a acoustic in the 60’s still flawless, had this a few days, not flawless. ... show more
