I thought I was the only one with an APX1 from the 90's that is unique....mine is sprayed silver sparkle, by the guy who painted Noel Gallagher's guitar leopard print! Love your graphic art one.

May 2024 🇿🇦 Cape Town Thanks so much Marc. I was in my teens in the '60's & bought a full size classical, which is a fab guitar BUT I am short & have small hands....wider nut & very high action. Now grandson is learning on an electric Epiphone Casino (he's tall) & Granny now wants a guitar size that is a better fit for me. I have a very varied taste in music but my favourite is Rock n Roll ....Stones , Beatles etc etc. I liked your demo, playing & talking about lowering the action. I have to wait until Aug, for the next shipment to arrive.🎸👍🏽🎵🎼🇿🇦

Ok, I've been thinking about picking up one of the little guys. You sold me, be sure to collect your commission from Yamaha. Thanks for the review brother.

I had the APX1 also gigged with it plenty in the 1990's. I called it "Mini Me" (at the time, Austin Powers was popular) Just ordered the "old violin" color option. After contemplating which acoustic electric to buy...really took my time...this was the right choice for me also. Happiness and Peace.

These little Yamaha guitars are great. Was in a guitar shop last week and picked one of these up to try it. Comfortable and really loud for its size. Was in buying a new bass but might’ve been tempted to buy one if it wasn’t for that haha Great review

Thanks for a great review. I was looking for a parlor sized guitar, and your review tipped the balance in favor of the APXT2. I must say I was pretty surprised with the build quality. While the action falls far short of superb, mine was quite tolerable right out of the box. Even the Tuners hold tune in the case after the strings stretch in. And there is my BIG rub... I must say that for a guitar of this quality, I was disappointed with the cheesy gig bag, though I suppose it helps, in small part, to keep the asking price down. It would be far more suited to a lower end Chinese beater. I did find a gig bag at the second hand store for a Taylor Baby, and it was a very complementary fit!

Hi from Cape Town Tks so much for your very informative talk & demo. I'm an active 72 year young rock n roll nutter. I recognised the Dire Strait song. Guitars in 🇿🇦 are damned expensive. However, after skrimping for years, I have finally decided that I want to fulfil my life ambition to master the guitar. This time, I am buying a 3/4 guitar, because my 1974 made in Japan, Ibanez Classical full size dreadnought with high action, is difficult to learn on, as I am a shorty with small hands. This guitar has a fantastic tone (for all genres of music) & I will use it as well in the future, when my fingers stretch more. (All rosewood)...love its tone. I have to wait until August, 2024 for the next shipment to arrive for the Yamaha APXT2. 🙃 ● I know I am asking a lot, but if you have an action gauge, I would be so grateful if you would tell me what your string actions are set at, now after you shaved a bit off under the saddle, as I intend to ask a luthier to also lower the action of my new APXT2, when stock arrives. PS I have listened to this multiple times....& so have my family🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again. Trish

How is the sound power of the Yamaha APXT2 without amplifier, compared with the sound of a normal size guitar?

it is smaller - I love it for practicing, singing at home and having fun. It is perfect to fit in my car and go for picnic. but it is quieter so performacewise - you will need an amp
