You get something small and portable but you sacrifice tone, playability, or both. The Yamaha APXT2EW is the exception. It is three quarter size, which means it fits in overhead bins, backseat floorboards, and cramped practice spaces, but it plays and sounds like a real instrument because it is one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exotic wood top gives it a warmth and visual character that you do not expect at this price point, and the built-in preamp means you can plug straight into a PA or an interface without any additional gear. For singer-songwriters, students, touring musicians who want a reliable stage backup, or anyone looking for a guitar they can actually take with them, this one is worth playing in person. Order online with continental US shipping, or pick up in person at our Charleston, WV retail store or our New Albany, OH showroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Players Choose the APXT2EW\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\/4 Size Body\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuinely portable without feeling like a toy. The shorter scale length is also easier on smaller hands and makes barre chords more accessible for beginners. Full-size players often find it surprisingly comfortable too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExotic Wood Top\u003c\/strong\u003e The figured wood top is not just cosmetic. It contributes to the warmth and complexity of the tone in a way that a standard spruce top at this price typically does not deliver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinline Cutaway Body\u003c\/strong\u003e The slim profile makes it comfortable to hold for long sessions, and the cutaway gives you clean access to the upper frets, which matters when you are playing lead lines or fingerstyle arrangements up the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Preamp and Tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug into any PA, amp, or audio interface and you are ready to go.
