Step up to a performer's guitar in a compact size with the exotic-wood Yamaha APXT2EW acoustic-electric guitar! This premium upgrade to the Yamaha APXT2 gives you the quality and performance of one of Yamaha's all-time best-selling instruments in a smaller scale. Based on the super-popular APX500, the 3/4-size APXT2EW is a fun and easy-to-play instrument that's perfect for smaller hands and those looking for a great travel guitar. What's more, Yamaha outfitted the APXT2EW with a System 68 contact pickup and active preamp, which includes a shandy onboard tuner for the stage or studio. Add to that a padded gig bag, and you're ready to play anywhere with your Yamaha APXT2EW acoustic-electric guitar.





Undersized design provides oversized possibilities





You don't have to have small hands to appreciate the APXT2EW's undersized ergonomics. If you're looking for a great guitar you can kick back on the couch and strum while you're away on your next long road trip - one with looks that are perfect for any stage - the 3/4 scale of the Yamaha APXT2EW may be perfect for you. Of course its smaller-than-average scale is also great for new guitar players, too, but at 1-11/16", the nut is easily wide enough to accommodate full-sized fingertips.





Onboard electronics let you play (in tune) anywhere





You'd be surprised to know how many gigging musicians, even well-known professionals, actually prefer to gig with guitars like the Yamaha APXT2EW acoustic-electric model. That's because you can take this comfortable, shallow-body guitar anywhere, plug in, and get full-bodied acoustic tone through the PA, courtesy of the onboard ART-based pickup system. What's more, Yamaha gave the APXT2EW one of their proprietary tuners, which let you tune up quickly, without needing to plug in extra gear.
