Yamaha APX4-12A 12-String Acoustic Electric Guitar

Advantages: Loud clean sounding
Disadvantages: None

...If you've read many of my op's you've probably figured out I'm a musical type of person, but not the type that jingles whilst walking. For years I have enjoyed playing rhythm guitar both privately and on the road but never more so than on my Yamaha 12 String. It's a lovely full size instrument that creates amazing volume even without an amp, and by far outdoes all the other acoustics I have had or used in the past, and I have had some nice ones. The overall design is pretty standard at first glance, but if you look a little closer, or better yet actually try one you can appreciate the really low fretting that gives a very smooth action, and in the case of my one having dreadnought fretting it's even smoother. The head of the guitar is well shaped also, and fitted out with chrome keys that really set of the rose wood neck... Read review

Advantages: Super quality guitar. Something to be proud of.
Disadvantages: Expensive

As soon as a guitarist walks into the room we're pretty much assured of a mouth-hanging-wide-open situation. However, on the other side of this large shop there are many acoustic guitars: stagey black Yamahas, Takamines with their curious split bridges, Washburns of great quality - the list goes on. But in a small room set to the side of all this are the really good guitars... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful guitar, rich sound and great construction
Disadvantages: Pre-amp can have a little high treble.

..., it looks great around campfires and on stages. My friends have always told me when I play it that it look stunning. And it is, it s a beautifully made guitar, with a high quality golden finish. I'm product to carry it with me. It has a small transparent pick guard below the strings, this is merely for protection nothing else. It has darker sides giving it a tradition acoustic guitar look, and the maple neck is wonderfully made. The cutaway body makes it very comfortable to sit and play whilst being stylish and modern. It is made withMulti-ply bindings and also has an intricate inlaid rope pattern around the sound hole - it has a high-grade solid spruce top and solid rosewood back; cosmetic detailing elsewhere is suggestive compass series nautical theme. It has mother of pearl dot fret markers as well. Playing it as an Acoustic Guitar It... Read review
