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.

    • Quite good for the price
Color: Oriental Blue Burst
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. ... show more

    • Good sound and great price
Color: Oriental Blue Burst
I love the look and sound if this acoustic guitar. I'm just a beginner after many many years of not playing and the thin body and tuning function are sweet. I get a lot of compliments on the blue. The action is good, the sound is good and it's pretty much right out of the box ready to play. I'd definitely recommend this guitar! ... show more

It is pretty, yet plain, as you can see in pictures. This is exactly what I wanted. I was looking for sound quality over beauty. It is a Sitka spruce top with low action and absolutely zero fret buzz anywhere! The thin line body has gloss lacquer finish front and back, but the neck has a satin finish which is a nice touch. There is a very nice abalone rosette, and bound rosewood neck. I would say that the sound generally is a dead ringer for “Silent Lucidity”. Very mellow without being too deep. The highs are clear but not thin. It’s pretty much perfect! This guitar I believe can do anything you ask of it - bluegrass, country, praise and worship, or strumming rock and roll like “Go Your Own Way”. I have owned 2 Ibanez and one Washburn acoustic electrics - this Yamaha is better. If you need a guitar that will the job done without drama, then you should get one. Good luck 🍺 ... show more

    • Good electric-acoustic, but a little tinny off of the amp.
Color: Black
Pros: There are many reasons why I like this guitar. It looks great, it sounds great on an amp, it has a built in tuner, and it feels okay to play. The price is pretty low for an electric-acoustic guitar. Cons: a little bit tinny sounding on the A string. Harder than average pressure required to do bar chords. Maybe it just needs to be worked a bit more - I've only had it 2 days. For whatever reason, I'm struggling to do bends- again maybe just the new strings are to blame. The box it came in looked like it survived a war zone. Nicks, tears, a wet spot, smudges, you would have thought from the outside of the box that it's contents would be destroyed. But when I opened it, the guitar was in pristine condition. The only flaw I found was a tiny dent in the wood of the part where the strings go into the body of the guitar, but nothing anybody but the player would notice. I'm overall satisfied with the purchase and I'd recommend this for a beginner or intermediate guitarist. ... show more

    • A great gift for my wife who is a novice player
Color: Natural
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. ... show more
