The APX range is Yamaha's thin-body acoustic-electric design, and the APXT2 is the 3/4-size version aimed at younger and travelling players.
Watch
Why it matters
The APX shape was drawn for stage use, with a shallower body and a cutaway that make it easier to hold while standing. The APXT2 takes the design down to a 3/4 size, and Sweetwater lists it at $229.99. That places it against beginner packages rather than against serious acoustic-electrics.
Note
The original thin-body plugged-in acoustic.

Before you buy
