Our verdict

A travel size acoustic-electric with a piezo pickup and built-in tuner, so it can plug into an amp after a trip. The output jack type is not described, and the listing names only a gig bag in the box.

Overview

Not a full size dreadnought, this Yamaha is a three-quarter body from the APX line made for travel and smaller players. A piezo pickup with an ART-based system sends the sound to an amp, and a built-in tuner helps with quick tuning.

A plug-in voice in a body small enough for a car trunk or a child's lap gives it reach beyond the bedroom. Specs list a spruce top over a meranti body, while the output connection and controls go undescribed.

Who it's for

Travelers, kids and couch players get a compact body that still connects to a PA or amp. Left handed players and anyone after big unplugged projection should look at full size models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact three-quarter body travels easily
  • Piezo pickup for amplified playing
  • Built-in tuner for quick tuning
  • Gig bag included
Cons
  • Output jack type not listed
  • Right handed only
  • Smaller body moves less air unplugged

Performance notes

Plugged in, the piezo pickup senses string vibration at the bridge, and the ART-based system shapes that signal before the amp. Unplugged, the smaller body moves less air, so projection depends on the spruce top and picking force.
