An essential APX in Yamaha's catalog
The APX series has established itself as a reference at Yamaha for guitarists seeking a reliable, easy-to-adjust electro-acoustic that is immediately effective live. The APX600 carries the DNA of the range: responsive dynamics, consistent playing feel, and a performance-oriented design, with a clear sonic signature that sits easily in a mix.
For whom, and in which styles?
The Yamaha APX600OBB is aimed at both serious beginners and intermediate guitarists who want a versatile electro-acoustic for rehearsing, recording demos, and playing on stage. It is particularly comfortable in pop, acoustic rock, variety, worship, and pick accompaniment, while remaining expressive in fingerstyle thanks to its good top sensitivity.
The sound
Its spruce top provides clarity and a quick response, ideal for maintaining definition in attacks and clear highs. The nato back and sides reinforce a balanced foundation, with consistent mids and balanced projection, very useful when the instrument is amplified. The X bracing promotes good body resonance and helps keep a natural sound. Plugged in, the System65 electronics + SRT Piezo Pickup allow precise sound shaping: volume, 3-band EQ, built-in tuner, and mid frequency control to avoid harshness or, conversely, to make the guitar stand out in the mix.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the most out of this electro-acoustic, you can opt for a steel string set for folk guitar (light gauge, for example 012-053) to preserve comfort and brightness, as well as a capo compatible with a nut width of 43 mm / 1.69" to vary keys without changing your fingerings.

I have been practicing for barely 6 months so it will be a beginner's opinion.
Very happy with my purchase despite the strings a bit big for my fingers but I will change them as soon as possible. The color is just beautiful if you like turquoise...Automatically translated
