Yamaha APX T2 Natural

First of all before i had dreadnought, but it was too large for me, so I searched something smaller: This guitar is perfect for me regarding to its size and playability. It has not the sound of dreadnought but neither the body and once you get used to it will be ok. When you plug it into amplifier the sound is superb due to its pick up. Guitar is very confortable to play out of the box. I did not have to do anything.

There are people who complained about the stability of tuners. I had not this problem. I changed the stings once since i bought it (6 months ago) and no problem. The Elixirs 12-53 phosphor bronze are perfect match for this little guitar. Great playability and great sustain.

I like the choice of 2 AA batteries to power the pick up. They are easier to find in the shop than the correct size button battery. Even after 6 monthis I still use the original batteries.

What could be improved is the gig bag. It provides basic protection but nothing more. The internal pocket has enough space to put basic accessories such as capo, set of strings and picks, but do not expect much more. I succeeded to put in A5 size hard cover chord encyclopedia, but then i was afraid to make a hole in the bag so i took it away.

In conclusion I recommend this guitar with no hesitation.

Bought this because I was looking for an acoustic guitar without a massive body that I could play at home either unplugged or through an amp/multi-fx/PA, or through an audio interface for studio recording. It sounds a lot bigger than it is, even unplugged, I was worried I'd be somewhat disappointed with it but I honestly prefer playing it to my Jackson Electric Guitar which I paid more money for, even buying second hand. It's really comfortable to sit down with, and it takes up so little space hanging up on my wall I'm amazed. Really happy with the purchase, knew I was getting a good buy as my father owns a larger Yamaha APX guitar. The built in tuner/preamp system is also a huge plus, reducing the amount of gear I need to sit down to have a quality music playing session.

If you imagine this guitar small - it's even smaller. Holding it kinda feels like holding a new born baby. It seems very fragile and sounds a bit like a toy unplugged. Still, all these cons are compensated by its sound while plugged in. Both tone and clarity are really satisfying. The only thing that could be considered inconvenient, is a pretty loud finder slide noise which only happens if you push the strings too hard during the slide. Compared with a ~250? Fender electro-acoustic guitar - this one is cheaper, more portable and most imporantly, in my opinion, sounds better when plugged in.
