Box Contains 1x Yamaha APXT2, 1x Owner's manual Review: Great value compact electro-acoustic, probably not the best travel guitar but great when plugged in - I would not use this as an acoustic travel guitar by choice, there are others that sound better, the very small shallow body is never going to sound very full. But I bought is as a guitar to play through a PA system, and it has a really good pickup system that can give a very full sound, especially if you have a preamp or mixer with good EQ. It's very small and compact which I like as my main guitar is a Lukas Brunner B-Compact travel guitar which has convinced me that I don't need a great big box. The Brunner sounds a lot better but it costs more than ten times the price. So this is a very good backup, if you were looking for a great little affordable guitar for gigging with a PA, or busking with a busking amp, this is a very good choice. It's ideal for me as a backup instrument. The pickup is great, it's Yamaha's alternative to an under-saddle ribbon, instead it's attached to the bracing which gives a more natural sound. I have a similar system from K&K on my other guitars and its much better than the ribbon ones. The guitar has a really good playing action, just amazing value all round. Review: 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. ## Features - Spruce Top - Rosewood Fingerboard & Bridge - System 68 Pick-Up ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DYIIQ0Q | | Back Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | 40,078 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 88 in Acoustic Steel-String Guitars | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Colour | Black | | Connector Type | 1/4" (6.35mm) Mono Jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (354) | | Fretboard Material Type | Artificial Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086792969602 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Combination | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | with bag | | Instrument | guitar | | Item Dimensions | 92 x 41.8 x 11.5 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 92L x 41.8W x 11.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Weight | 2.4 kg | | Manufacturer | Yamaha Musical Instruments | | Manufacturer Part Number | APXT2 BLACK | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | APXT2 BL | | Model Number | APXT2 BL | | Neck Material Type | Nato Wood | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Scale Length | 25.6 | | Set Name | Guitar with gigbag | | Size | 3/4 | | String Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Top Material Type | Wood | | UPC | 086792969602 | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Mahogany Wood - **Body material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Colour:** Black - **Fretboard material type:** Artificial Rosewood - **Guitar pick-up configuration:** Combination - **Hand orientation:** Right - **Neck material type:** Nato Wood - **String material type:** Phosphor Bronze - **Top material type:** Wood ## Images ![APXT2 3/4-Size Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+eLoKhRLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this product come with steal strings?** A: You shouldn't steal things. Especially guitar strings. It.s bad luck. They will snap and put your eye out. **Q: Does this guitar come with nylon strings or steel strings?** A: This one comes with steel strings, But we do have models with nylon , Fuller's Guitar 713-880-2188 **Q: Does this have a curved or flat fretboard?** A: Mine has a beautiful radiused (curved) rosewood fretboard that plays like a dream. I own 9 acoustic guitars, including a couple of Martins and Taylors, and my APX T2 is the best-playing guitar I own right now. The neck is smooth, fast, and very responsive to the even most gentle caress. I can actually do things with it that I can't really do on my others, or at least not as good. It feels like it was custom-made just for my hands. Keep in mind that I take really good care of my guitars. because they keep the rent paid and the lights on. I clean the fretboard every time I change strings, with a moisturizing cleaner (Murphy's Oil Soap), and do a quick-polish on the frets. If you exercise less meticulous care, your mileage may vary. However, I believe that with even modest care, anyone would be happy with the neck on this great little axe. I can't say it enough...this guitar is a winner! **Q: Is this a solid top or laminate?** A: It is laminate ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value compact electro-acoustic, probably not the best travel guitar but great when plugged in *by C***T on 25 November 2024* I would not use this as an acoustic travel guitar by choice, there are others that sound better, the very small shallow body is never going to sound very full.
