    Purchased this awesome little guitar for my 9 year old daughter. It fits her perfectly and it's really easy for her to use and learn on. The sound is great when not plugged in and sounds even better when hooked up to her amp. The built-in tuner is easy to use and it tunes up quick and stays in tune. The finish is amazing, the pictures don't do it justice, it's beautiful. Solid quality and really fun to play.

  • Convenient size, easy to use in small places.

  • APXT2 vs. APXT2-EW (Exotic Wood Series)

    Ordered the APXT2-EW in Tobacco Sunburst because I liked the look. When I was waiting for it to ship I realized the EW series does not have a solid top, like the 4 colors in the basic APXT2 series. The EW series top is Mango over Meranti. not solid Spruce. It makes a HUGE difference when playing acoustically. Very muted and flat sounding and the top offers virtually no resonance at all, If you are gonna buy this little guy, I recommend stating away from the EW series. Go for the solid spruce top. Sounds 100% better!

    You get a 3/4 size acoustic guitar, of course, for the size. I already had the Yamaha APX500III which is a truly magnificent price-point instrument. The thinlne body moves you away from the bloat of a regular size dreadnought. All of the features of the larger brother are implemented in the APX Thinline 3/4: built-in tuner, volume and tone controls. The reason I wanted a comparable guitar in 3/4 size was to have it in my office nearby, ready to pick up at a moment's notice and for that it serves me perfectly. You can sit in an executive swivel chair and play this guitar comfortably. Do not delude yourself into thinking the big sound of the bigger thinline will transfer to the smaller guitar when play unamplified. When amplified the difference is slight. So now I have what I wanted - a quality price point smaller guitar that sits on a stand in easy reach for those moments when you need to reach out and find a way to explore a musical idea, run some scales, etc. Perfect solution!

    I'm an old, short, fat woman teaching herself how to play. I bought a standard size guitar but I am having trouble with reaching cords and the top 3 strings. Which 3/4 thin line would be better for me the APXT2 or the APX? Thanks.

    Either one may be a bit easier to play, the main thing you would want to look at is the depth of the body. Thinner body guitars will be a lot easier to play. I would suggest swinging by a store and giving them both a try to see which one you prefer.
