Review: Small guitar, big sound, good price. Love it. - Wife wants to play guitar again after a long hiatus. My full sized Takamine with fat strings is too big and heavy for her. Got her this 3/4 Yamaha and I fell in love with it. I may have to get another one for her because I've been hogging it. It has a great voice for a 3/4. The action is nice, the built in tuner is a real treat. Never had one before but it is unbelievably convenient. I don't plug it in often but I had to check out that sound too. The electronics sound decent. Can't crank it up too loud or it starts to feedback, but I'm actually sitting right on top of my small but punchy VOX amp so I can't really say how it would work for playing out. The reviews convinced me to buy this one. The best review only had one major complaint; the tuning pegs. I agree they could be better, but I don't think they are awful. I have to tweak the tuning just a little once or twice a day before I play, but it isn't like it goes out of tune when I'm playing, even when I'm beating on it hard. I think it is well worth the price and was surprised by the volume it produces. Much better than expected. If you don't find the tuning pegs worthy, I think the instrument is good enough to spend money on for an upgrade, but I don't plan to. It is solid, light weight, comfortable, nice sounding, well designed, feature rich and handy. I'm keeping it in the corner by the bed and I pick it up every chance I get. I haven't played guitar much the past few years so having a guitar at my fingertips all the time is helping me get my callouses back quickly. No matter what you play, if you lose your callouses, rebuilding them is always painful for a few weeks, but this instrument is pretty easy to play. I've gone through the process several times over the years with my Takamine. This is far less painful. Perhaps that means it will take longer, but at least I can still use my fingers to type long reviews in the meantime. No avoiding the pain regardless of what you play, but there is pain, and there is agony. This guitar hits a sweet spot somewhere in between. It's just right for young or old, big or small. (FWIW, I heard an interview with Clapton where he confessed he doesn't play much when he's not working and when he has to prepare for a tour, even he has to go through the callous building process). Well, I'm way off topic now. Again, great little guitar. Go for it. Review: What a rad guitar! 🤘 - This is an amazing 3/4 scale guitar! It felt great right out of the box! No setup required! It has a unique resonance in its tone, almost like a ukulele or mandolin! The electronics all work perfectly well too! I thought it was weird that it takes AA batteries, but it’s not a big deal. It stays in tune great, and has no visible flaws! Fits perfect in anyone’s hands too!

Especially guitar strings. It.s bad luck. They will snap and put your eye out. **Q: Does this guitar come with nylon strings or steel strings?** A: This one comes with steel strings, But we do have models with nylon , Fuller's Guitar 713-880-2188 **Q: Does this have a curved or flat fretboard?** A: Mine has a beautiful radiused (curved) rosewood fretboard that plays like a dream. I own 9 acoustic guitars, including a couple of Martins and Taylors, and my APX T2 is the best-playing guitar I own right now. The neck is smooth, fast, and very responsive to the even most gentle caress. I can actually do things with it that I can't really do on my others, or at least not as good. It feels like it was custom-made just for my hands. Keep in mind that I take really good care of my guitars. because they keep the rent paid and the lights on. I clean the fretboard every time I change strings, with a moisturizing cleaner (Murphy's Oil Soap), and do a quick-polish on the frets. If you exercise less meticulous care, your mileage may vary. However, I believe that with even modest care, anyone would be happy with the neck on this great little axe. I can't say it enough...this guitar is a winner! **Q: Is this a solid top or laminate?** A: It is laminate ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small guitar, big sound, good price.

It felt great right out of the box! No setup required! It has a unique resonance in its tone, almost like a ukulele or mandolin! The electronics all work perfectly well too!

Perfect for the person I bought it for! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You'll love it or you won't *by S***A on January 28, 2019* I love it. I found the sound a bit too thin at standard tuning but it really mellowed out and had some nice resonance tuned a half-step down. I have smaller hands, and mostly play rapid-strummy Mountain Goats-esque folk rock stuff on this. It's great for that. Spacing for more complex picked riffs at the top of the neck can feel a little cramped, but about average down closer to the body. It smelled overwhelming of glue for about the first two weeks, which I didn't love. No longer noticeable. Been playing it daily for about two months now and have taken it out to a couple of open mics, which it's perfect for; built-in tuner works well, pickup sounds great direct into the board and PA. I don't hear a _ton_ of difference when I adjust the tone knob, but there's some good headroom in the volume control and it hasn't kicked feedback at me yet. It's especially great for songwriting. Small and comfortable enough that I don't get tired of holding or handling it, and it doesn't take up much room next to you on the couch. It just fits into the scene better when surrounded by some notebooks, pens, an iPad, music stand, a pile of empties, etc. And in a way that I'm certain would horrify ergonomists and guitar teachers everywhere, it's fairly comfortable to play lying down. I haven't had any issues with the tuners. The strings feel cheap, but fine for the price. The neck on mine was straight but not perfectly smooth; one or two spots had obviously been filled at the factory, which annoyed me for the first day or two but I haven't noticed them since. The frets were in pretty good shape. The bag is cheap and thin, but I hadn't realized it even came with one, so that was a nice bonus as it helped me get it back home on a road trip without damage. I picked up the hardshell SKB case many others have recommended in the reviews and it's a decent fit, especially if you roll your strap up and stick it into the gap made by the cutaway. Bottom line: if this thing got stolen I would immediately purchase another, no hesitation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha APXT2 3/4-Size Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black - D'Addario Celluloid Guitar Picks - Guitar Accessories - Guitar Picks for Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar - Natural Feel, Warm Tone - Assorted, Medium 0.70mm, 10 Count (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8957061-apxt2-3-4-size-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8957061-apxt2-3-4-size-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
