Can't agree more with what's said here about this amazing little guitar. I got one for busking as well as I can't stand with a heavy acoustic for more than 20mins these days and this is super-light. The first thing I noticed about it was the resonance and tone was amazing for jazz stye playing which got me trying to remember all those old AbMaj13b9#5 chords and runs - Enjoy all who buy..!!
I just got mine about a month ago and I agree with pretty much everything you said about it plus it’s probably the best kept secret in the acoustic guitar community. Mainly because it’s such a high quality and great sounding instrument for such a cheap price that it would destroy the sales of much more expensive acoustics if everyone was wise to it.
I have one of these and the neck is definitely thinner than a full size guitar neck. I have various acoustics and this thing is dinky, light, thin neck. I have small girlie hands too. Worth the money...although I do need to get round to changing the tuners; as they are a bit dopey tbh.
Thank you, I found your video really informative. So is the neck a bit wider? Petite woman with shorter fingers :) And what strings would you recommend?
The neck is narrower than a traditional full size acoustic guitar, more like an electric. It comes with Yamaha Folk Guitar Strings, Light Gauge 80/20 Brass, 12-53. I have been using the Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze Medium Light, 12-54 strings for the last 3 plus years and am happy with them.
Hi Robert, I bought this guitar for my son and he loves it! Where would I get a strap like yours? Also, it is a pretty small travel guitar, did you find a case for it? Do you have an email, I could leave you a message?
The SKB Cases models 1SKB-300 Hard case or 1SKB-SC300 Soft Case will work for APXT2. I bought my APXT2 plus the SKB Soft Case in November of 2016 and the guitar has lived happily in that case since. I went for the soft case as the guitar is meant to be a travel guitar and the soft case has shoulder straps on it , giving you options as to carrying it.
I'm looking for a 3/4 steel-string, and every single review on RU-vid is a cursory examination and some mellow chord changes in the lower register. Fuck the timbre. Playable comes first. How's the action? Will I have to fight the strings at the 12th fret? Some of us like to let loose once in a while.
@@paulvalles3243 Why are new acoustic guitars set up like the player needs a slide? That's the question. If you know a make/model that's fully adjustable, point. Nut and bridge. I'll figure it out. I shouldn't have to play with a truss rod.
