Overview
Yamaha builds the APX thinline for stage players: a shallow cutaway body stays close to the player, and a pickup system shapes the guitar's sound in a band mix. A flame maple top in amber over nato back and sides gives it a showpiece look.
Comfort is the main case for this guitar: the thin body and short scale with narrow spacing make long sets easy. Updated bracing adds bass to the slim shape. Unplugged, it still has less volume than a full-size dreadnought.
Who it's for
Cover band players and electric guitarists who double on acoustic get a slim, easy-playing stage guitar. Campfire players who never plug in will want a deeper body.
Pros and cons
- Thin body feels close and light
- Cutaway for top-fret access
- Gig bag and strap included
- Narrow spacing eases chords
- Less unplugged volume than full bodies
- Nut width not listed
- Warranty not stated
Performance notes
The shallow body holds less air, which limits low end unplugged, and Yamaha's new bracing pattern works to recover bass. The shorter scale lowers string tension so bends and chords take less effort. On stage, the piezo pickup carries the sound and avoids the feedback deep bodies invite.
