What's more, Yamaha outfitted the APXT2 with a System 68 contact pickup and active preamp, which includes a super-handy onboard tuner. Add to that a padded gig bag, and you're ready to play anywhere with your Yamaha APXT2 acoustic-electric guitar. Box Contains 1x Yamaha APXT2, 1x Owner's manual

Review: Great value compact electro-acoustic, probably not the best travel guitar but great when plugged in - I would not use this as an acoustic travel guitar by choice, there are others that sound better, the very small shallow body is never going to sound very full. But I bought is as a guitar to play through a PA system, and it has a really good pickup system that can give a very full sound, especially if you have a preamp or mixer with good EQ. It's very small and compact which I like as my main guitar is a Lukas Brunner B-Compact travel guitar which has convinced me that I don't need a great big box. The Brunner sounds a lot better but it costs more than ten times the price. So this is a very good backup, if you were looking for a great little affordable guitar for gigging with a PA, or busking with a busking amp, this is a very good choice. It's ideal for me as a backup instrument. The pickup is great, it's Yamaha's alternative to an under-saddle ribbon, instead it's attached to the bracing which gives a more natural sound. I have a similar system from K&K on my other guitars and its much better than the ribbon ones. The guitar has a really good playing action, just amazing value all round.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this product come with steal strings?**
A: You shouldn't steal things. 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
