13 best yamaha electric acoustic guitar

Product description

As an electric guitarist in the '80s, if you wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options available. In 1987, Yamaha made the first acoustic guitar that could be taken from a guitar rack, plugged in and played at volume, problem free; no more howling feedback, misplaced mics or dreaded extended sound checks. The latest APX600 features a unique under-saddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer featured in the highly-acclaimed a series range, a natural tone and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound guitarists crave. Although its style has evolved, the essence of the APX remains the same. Today, it boasts a more natural look, a deeper body for better bass response and greater volume, and a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a responsive, dynamic tone.

• Thin-line cutaway Body design for exceptional playability
• 25" Scale Length and narrower string spacing for Enhanced comfort
• New scalloped bracing pattern for increased bass response
• Abalone sound hole rosette
• Stage-focused pickup system for shaping your sound in the mix

User questions & answers

Question:	Does Amazon have a package deal that includes a case with the white "600" model
Answer:	I did not see a package offer when I was buying mine.
Question:	how thick is the width? and is this "real" wood or particle board
Answer:	The width is the same as my cell phone. The wood is solid of course. The top sides and back may be laminate but by no means is it some cheap "particle board".. Remember the cost is budget friendly and the materials are too. But Yamaha has a very nice sounding and playing guitar here for a very reasonable price. In my 40 years of playing is it the best..no..is it a great guitar for the price...Absolutely!
Question:	What is a good gig bag for this
Answer:	I bought the hard case for it and it fits perfect. Case has a small cubby for strings, picks, strap. Can't help you with a soft gig bag. Yamaha AG2-HC Hardshell Acoustic Guitar Case for APX and NTX Series https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D53JG5I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_jzHYy5wurOYGp
Question:	how wide is the body in inches? my rogue rd80 (dread) is 16" wide and i hate it, im looking for something smaller than
Answer:	This guitar is 42.2 x 5 x 19.7 inches. It doesn't seem like a child's guitar at all. I'm quite small and it's very comfortable. If the specs are not on the Amazon page where it is sold, it should not be trusted. I bought the 400 when it came out and the 600 when the 500 was no longer available. If size is important, I would try one at a guitar or music store.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it high or low action
Answer:	In my opinion it's extremely HIGH. It was so high that I took it to my guitar luthier who said " it's unplayable like that" He had to shave off a little of the bridge, adjust the Nut grooves and dress a couple of high frets at the 12th to get it in reasonable shape and for myself to be happy with it. The bass E is 2mm above the 12th fret now so within bounds. She plays and sounds okay but it's not my favourite guitar by a long chalk to be honest. Spends more time in its case!
Question:	Is it comfortable
Answer:	This was my first guitar. I found it very comfortable but then I bought a Taylor mini. Each has its place I still play then both
Question:	What is the nut width? (inches
Answer:	1.75" -Jesus The Music Store
Question:	my old yamaha drives me nuts, because of the buzz sounds with the strings. If I buy this one will it buzz
Answer:	One of the best options is to use the buzz in your style. No doubt it’s not an all out buzz all of the time. So incorporate it as an emphasis at certain pints. Old phenomenal guitarists played what they had, got really good at it and used funky quirks on their guitar to add some flavor. The other option. Play each string at each fret, isolate the buzz and decide what the next option is. If the guitar has been climate controlled and is in a steady state, you may find sanding the buzzing fret down (just on the string that buzzes), with the fretboard well protected with a high grit paper, the right answer. This could also be the beginning of chasing the buzz down the neck to the next fret. It could be a nut or bridge adjustment that’s the answer. Truss rod is not where the adjustments usually start. My point, it comes down to a proficient luthier or someone who might be willing to take the time to get everything right. Cheap guitars can sometimes sound great after a $1000 in labor or equivalent time has been invested. Guitars aren’t a set it and forget it object. Nature works against them and time can be an enemy. If you’re really serious, you’ll take it somewhere regularly to have it tweaked to fight the elements working against it. Anyway, Americans spend $1,000s on frivolous hobbies. This is a pretty cheap one if you start with a decently constructed guitar and then just figure you’ll care for it over the years. Either learn to do the maintenance yourself or pay someone whose invested their time to learn it... or barter. One cool thing if you learn the craft, you can find old guitars and go through them, make the adjustments and get some very unique stuff that’s cool in its own way. Yamaha is a solid built instrument —from their drums to guitars to pianos. A buzz is definitely no reason to avoid the brand. Otherwise, every brand and nearly every model will be a problem at some time or other.

Answer:	Did you mean what parts of Storia are the same as FS? The size and thickness of the body and the length of the strings are the same, but Storia’s neck is slimmer, and the strings height of Storia is lower, which is more friendly to beginners and novices. Do these answers make sense?
Question:	does it come with strings

Actuator

An actuator installed on the inner surface of the guitar back vibrates in response to the vibrations of the strings. The vibrations of the actuator are then conveyed to the body of the guitar and to the air in and around the guitar body, generating authentic reverb and chorus sounds from inside the body.

Simple Controls

Three simple knobs let you adjust the amount of effects and the line out volume level. Keeping the controls small minimizes the area of the holes in the body material, which reduces acoustic sound loss.

(A) Chorus Control

(B) Reverb Control (Room/Hall)

(C) TA Switch/Line Out Volume Control

* Pressing the TA Switch for longer than 0.3 seconds activates the TA function.

* When a cable is connected to the line out jack, the line out volume can be adjusted by rotating knob (C).

* The reverb type switches from Room to Hall around the 12:00 position.

Battery Box

The battery box is integrated into the end-pin jack, which requires fewer holes in the body, thus reducing acoustic sound loss. Connect the cable from the jack to a PA or amp to use as an acoustic-electric guitar.

A Modern Parlor Guitar

The Yamaha CSF1M combines the portability of a travel guitar with the focused tonal characteristics of a parlor guitar—making it ideal for both the road and the destination. Special forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances bass response while increasing the overall resonance of the solid Sitka spruce top, resulting a surprisingly big acoustic and amplified sound.

• CSF is available as a solid-top CSF1M and CSF-TA (TransAcoustic), or all-solid CSF3M.
• All models feature solid Sitka spruce mopboards, and mahogany back & sides.
• Guitars come with a durable deluxe gig bag for easy transport.

For the Road and the Destination

CSF series guitars can be inspiring alternatives to full-size dreadnought guitars when recording, providing a full, rich, and resonant sound that can stand alone even on recordings where the acoustic guitar is prominently featured.

CSF guitars feature passive undersaddle pickups that utilize the same sensor found in Yamaha L-Series acoustic-electrics—enabling players to easily plug into an amplifier or PA system when performing live.

With their compact size and included deluxe gig bags, CSF series guitars make ideal travel companions.

Compact body, full-size sound

Despite their compact size, which some guitarists find more comfortable to play than larger instruments, CSF series guitars feature an all-new design that increases bass response and overall loudness, resulting in a surprisingly full, rich, and vibrant sound.

CSF series guitars utilize newly-designed scalloped bracing that delivers rich, full-bodied resonance comparable to that of a full-size guitar. Additionally, the use of a forward-shifted construction maintains the strength of the body while maximizing the resonance of the guitar top.
