I LOVE THIS GUITAR !!!
For starters I'm 5'5" with small hands and the thinness and small size of this guitar fits me perfectly. This would be a great guitar for a child to learn on as it will not overpower them. I wish I had this guitar for my 1st guitar.
Features:
I really like the built-in tuner and auto shut down. Buy this guitar and you don't have to buy a tuner. I thought I would not like the fact the APX500 does not come with a pick guard, but the oval sound hole allows for a little over strumming without the pick hitting and scratching the soundboard.
Sound:
Okay, the guitar is on the small side but the engineers at Yamaha have designed a full (unplugged) sound. It is incredible really. I own dreadnoughts and love the sound, but the APX (unplugged) sounds great. Now I will admit the APX500 lacks the "Boom" of a dreadnought, but this negative becomes a positive because this allows you to sing along while playing and you do not have to sing loud to be heard over the guitar. Of course if you want a louder sound, and sometimes you will, just plug it in!
Action, Fit, & Finish:
I like "low" action (strings close to the fretboard) on my guitars. On my dreadnoughts I had to take them to a guitar tech to have the action lowered. Not on my APX500. The action was perfect right out of the box. The finish is beautiful and you won't be disappointed by the looks of any of the models.
Tuners and Strings:
The Tuners are very smooth. The strings that come on the guitar are great. I just don't know the size of the strings. I think they are medium acoustics.
Overall:
What a great guitar. Again, perfect for someone with small hands. The sound (plugged or unplugged) is magnificent and the built-in tuner and piezo amp system is flawless. The fact I had to wait 2 months for a back order on this guitar speaks volumes on how popular the APX500 is. The people can't be wrong.
