Yamaha APX1000 Electro Acoustic Guita r, Mocha Black
Its a very good electroacoustic piece of guitar. The neck is very comfortable, fast and overall it feels pretty solid. Mine, since I bought it, has taken quite some bumps and remains like new until now (years later, played everyday). One thing that amazed me was the quality of the pickups, they sound crisp and crystal clear, and even with heavy distortion effects it sounded pretty cool. The price tag may hurt a bit and not be attractive (or recommendable) to begginers, but its definitely a fine purchase.

The 12 string was lighter and smaller in size than I had realised - the lockdown had not enabled me to try in a guitar shop. The neck is also very comfortable, and feels about the same size as my Gibson Les Paul's 50's neck. String spacing is also comfortable. The sound acoustically is not boomy due to the smaller body width, so it is fairly toppy without much bass but it makes a nice sound. Recording through the pickup gives a very good sound and well balanced - less toppy than the acoustic sound and I would think live and recording is where this guitar comes into it's own. It is not as rich or as warm to play acoustically like one of my six string dreadnoughts, but it makes a very nice jangly sound and is easy to play. Build quality at the moment seems good. Glad I bought it.

After reading so many negative reviews I was worried after placing my order but I can assure you my experience was absolutely fantastic! The price was superb and the guitar arrived before the postage suggested. Customer service also very easy to deal with this is a 10/10 company
I’ve chosen this particular guitar because of its smaller size - as my 10 years old daughter was struggling to hold a bigger format guitars. It has an excellent quality finishes, it’s sound is impeccable and it’s very comfortable to hold.
