"Best guitar I have played in 20 years!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
We like the Yamaha pick-up that they use in their guitars.

Quality:
Extrememly reliable. Yamaha has always been a good company.

Value:
Absolutely

Sound:
Has a real nice sound. Very easy touch on the strings.

Ease of Use:
Very Playable. The thin body is a much more comfortable fit. the neck width is an excellent fit for both my young teen and myself. Our guitar teacher was very impressed with this particular guitar. He is now thinking of getting one. It was difficult to get it out of his hands.

Support:
I have had other Yamaha products.. keyboards. Fisrt Yamaha guitar. I have always felt the quality was top notch.

Overall:
I feel that this guitar will last many years. We have 2 other guitars and I like this one so much that I bought for my son, I am looking at getting the same one for me only different color. If lost or stolen, absolutely I would purchase the same guitar

Yamaha APX-5A Thinline Customer Review

Feature:
No frills here. But you will still be pleased with the pick up.

Quality:
You would have to spend twice as much to get the same guitar from another maker.

Value:
Can't beat ot for the price.

Desirability:
I got the black one. It looks real cool. Sounds cool, too.

Sound:
This thinner shape sounds as good as many of the best guitars out there, especially for the price. I checked around and couldn't beat the deal.

Support:
I have bot had to feal with Yamaha personally, but they have a good reputation.

Overall:
You can spend a lot more money and get a better guitar. But it would be alot more money. Not a lot more guitar. You get a great guitar for the money with great quality, good looks and great sound.

Sound:
it sounds amazing...never heard any accoustic/electric guitar sound this hott..

"Small, Smooth, and Beautiful"

Feature:
Has an eq but it would be nice with a tuner.

Quality:
Good craftsmanship, no apparent flaws.

Value:
One of the best I have played for the price.

Desirability:
Natural colour is really nice and the rubber piece looks nice.

Sound:
Sounds great and full, used it a couple of times and I am going to buy it. It has a solid sound unplugged but really comes to life when plugged in.

Overall:
This is the acoustic i would buy if spending under 1500.

"this is a very well made guitar that will last a lifetime and more"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
beautiful headstock. a little upset though with the pearl around the soundhole not being inlayed

Quality:
i have yet to see a poorly made yamaha. it sounds as good as it did the day i picked it up at the store

Value:
i think there is a broad range for this particular guitar to be priced. even on the high side, still worth the money

Desirability:
mine is dark green that fades to a light green towards the soundhole. while i am not extremely excited about the color, it is neat to have a guitar that isnt just natural. several people have described it to me as being "gorgeous."

Sound:
to me, this gutar is made to be plugged in. when played acoustic, the sound can be very deceiving. it is a beautiful guitar and gets even better when it is plugged in. its just not as appealing to me since i got my taylor, but who can argue that?

Support:
no

Overall:
this guitar is now my backup. i know i am blessed to have this as a backup because it is a very nice guitar. but ever since i started playing, my dream was to get a taylor. i didnt think that i would get it so soon though. my wife bought it for me for our first anniversary and we havent even been married for two years yet. so i am still in shock. on top of that, its the one guitar that i picked out of any. its a beautiful 612ce with quilted maple stained in what i think is called tiger flame. i love it
