  Characteristics

  Top: Spruce
  
  Back & Sides: Nato
  
  Neck: Nato
  
  Fingerboard: Rosewood
  
  Bridge: Rosewood

  Electro-acoustic piezo pickup B-Band under-saddle of the bridge. Preamp with volume control, 3-band EQ, frequency control medium.
  
  
  
  Two points to note about the style of this guitar:
  
  - Petty Cash and cutaway that allows access to acute
  
  - Narrow sleeves style "electric"

  Utilization

  HANDLE: perfect!
  
  The big advantage of this guitar is surely in its narrow neck that reminds the sleeves of electric guitars. Personally that's exactly what I was looking for my electro-acoustic classical guitar. Handle very nice!
  
  
  
  Cutaway: useful!
  
  Although the box is small, the cutaway is very useful to come play notes from the 14th box. Access is quite simple but the boxes are rapidly becoming smaller, distrust for big fingers then!
  
  
  
  ERGONOMICS: light and beautiful
  
  The style of this APX 5NA is perfect although a petty cash book, a long thin neck, a rounded cutaway. The game suffers comfort that you play sitting (very good grip, although based on the thighs) or standing (the ultra light weight of the guitar is nice especially when you used to play with a jazz before!)

  Sounds

  SOUND: Amplified is very very good!
  
  
  
  The APX-5NA is an amplified guitar being played! While the overall tone is quite beautiful in its sound (although a little soft on time is low) the small size of the fund remains a disadvantage. Be careful not as much as 1 / 2 box or a 3 / 4 anyway. The sound is good acoustics and is a good classical guitar, the sound is still heard!
  
  
  
  But where the APX 5NA comes into its own when it introduced the Jack in the decision ... (Also small point we would have preferred the jack on the strap attached, where it is placed because it weakens the guitar and decision rested when plugged in!)
  
  
  
  From that moment on, everything becomes perfect. The B-Band under the bridge takes its place and gives a uniform sound quite remarkable. We also love playing with the preamp that offers, in addition to the basic settings (volume, bass, mid, low), a frequency control that will open lots of windows ... ranging from a round hot and very "low" to his arrest and dry. This multitude of possibilities offered me happy ... really!
  
  
  
  To associate with an acoustic amplifier of course and there you will have a set of high-flying.

  Overall Opinion

  I bought this guitar used from 175 euros (someone who would not know it!) With an eye at the jack. Jack Yamaha replaced the following week for (28 euros) it made me 203 euros for this guitar used ... since I only have 4 words to say:
  
  life is beautiful!
  
  
  
  Since I left her and I'll sell my Ibanez Jazz who finds himself dropped.
  
  I like his ability to sound good in any style, I like the depth of sound, elegance, ergonomics and its handle that delights my little fingers too!
  
  
  
  I am filled with this guitar and do not yet have an amplifier worthy of the name (I have tried on various acoustic amps and every time I am delighted with a preference for the rendering and Roland AER), I look forward to offer me one!
  
  
  
  A guitar that will please the greatest number. However with a price between 550 and 600 euros new (store) it is clearly not aimed so much at beginner or the novice easy!
  
  A guitar that can follow you live, in rehearsal, the only place they are fishing can be a bit in a group is not amplified!
  
  
  
  In any case ... a very good choice!

  wphantom's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is a nylon rope Electroacoustic thin body (thin but not rev more than a classic).
  
  It is not at all classical guitarist East. I think the public saw is the electric guitarist who wants a nylon scraper.
  
  
  
  I put the note is good because cel is what I was looking for.

  Utilization

  The handle is particularly trs. It's definitely not a classical guitar neck! So those who view cell research. The handle is pretty strait and the end is closer to an electric guitar (jazz guitar style).
  
  Ergonomics is good if you search trs such handle (c'tait my case) and excrable if you want a classic handle.
  
  
  
  No problem to get a good sound.

  Sounds

  This guitar suits me perfectly. I wanted to have a electroac nylon for use song and jazz, but without the constraints of a new round.
  
  
  
  The acoustic sound is good no more. Being given the thickness of the box it sounds correct with a lack of bass. Normal ....
  
  
  
  Once I find cell amplifier sounds good and trs prampli Intgr opens a wide range of sounds. You can have an acoustic nylon slamming but a warm, jazz ... hope
  
  
  
  I used a lot Roland AC60 (great little amp see me) and now that I sold I use on my amp SR-Tech Jam150. Trs a beautiful sound ...

  Overall Opinion

  I have 4 years. It suits me. I wanted a electroac nylon with a small box but a box even when (for work ss amps) with a broad sound palette.
  
  
  
  J''en've tried many in the style (standing ovation and other brands that I forgot ... It's the one I prfr. If I APRs fell for a godin nylon body but not especially $$$$$
  
  
  
  The report quality price good silent. APRS I had the opportunity to try an above MODEL (I know 9NA or 10nA), which had more of a micro piezo sensor in the box. The silent sound palette even wider.
  
  In short c'tait a nylon guitar to make music but not to amplify the classic ...

  superloran's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  The pickups are of good quality and make trs well in acute as in the bass.

  Utilization

  Trs enjoyable round, the hand slides alone, it is easy to play, are easily aigusq accssible, as agreements by the width of the handle Designed well, which is a great compromise between an electro and folk.
  
  the sound is as good in the treble than the bass, even if his case seems fine it makes trs well sosna without amp. With the amp the sound is even more fabulous.
  
  This guitar is lgre and look nice.

  Sounds

  This guitar adapts to any style of music (trip, rock ,...).
  
  I use a marshall amp AS50R gnial is that we can add a micro drteriorer without the sound of the guitar.

  Overall Opinion

  I use this guitar for a year and I'm not dssus I was discovering new sensations every time. I love the handle as it is enjoyable to trs toucheret is trslgre.
  
  The only small thing is that there is no protection cash but it cost 3 euros ...
  
  quality price report is correct because it has a good capacity to adapt. Even if it's still too expensive whatever one may say)

  lepingouin's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Rather small size, convenient to bring around a stick and not at all classic ... its main advantage in my opinion!

  Utilization

  The handle is a rgal for a nylon string guitar ... because when you're used to the handle of an electric or electro-acoustic, hard to adjust to the handle off the standard trs ... here, we accde the world of nylon strings without any effort to adapt ...
  
  
  
  the guitar is lgre, compact and handy trs!

  Sounds

  Sr is that this is not the best sound srement available in the CATEGORY guitar nylon strings, especially not a branch but trs is correct. And plugged into my amp SWR Strawberry Blonde acoustic and a yamaha magic stomp your exact trs is enjoyable.

  Overall Opinion

  It is far from being perfect but this is apx trs endearing ... I would not put too expensive for this type of guitar, that is for me an extra guitar, but at least I am delighted with my choice. on the other hand to make the most of it is true that we need a good amp derrire.

  guglielmo's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I'm not entirely agree with the view Previous: dj scratch this is practically made to be amplified that he must know it all
  
  -Note: Yamaha themselves, even this does not rank in the classical guitar.
  
  Indeed, given its handle is not a game, despite the conventional nylon strings and the dam of the table leaf.

  Utilization

  The handle is trs enjoyable.
  
  it was quickly trs in hand despite Clisse thinner: less than 10 cm.

  Sounds

  Okay, not limit it amplifies; provides a easy to train two hours in the morning 'without rveiller anyone.
  
  But amplifies the sound is good, even if it's true, I jou AER on an amp (a must) but also Carlsbro, and is not bad at all if tout.en I recommend a course for electro-acoustic amp.
  
  piezo-prampli: a phase inverter, 3-band equalizer, CONTRL medium frequencies.
  
  if I'm not mistaken there is an optional cache rosette which is indispensable if you push the volume in a small pice or if using a DG stomp for example (the red!).
  
  So scratch that offers opportunities INTERESTED I got.
  
  if you try it so it amplifies otherwise.

  Overall Opinion

  Sincrement a good guitar. especially since Yamaha makes reliable instrument. s for me it is, the ratio quality price trs correct.
  
  I think it's a guitar for someone who idalie cheche classical sounds with a game more rock, for example no problem if you are a little heavy of mdiator, is even probably better!
  
  Also throw an eye on the AEX 500N on the Yamaha website.

  footix_guitarix's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Table, wicker covers, plywood back ...
  
  Channel TRS end, weird for a classic.

  Utilization

  The neck is VERY enjoyable, I must say that it is quite surprising to have a handle on one end as standard.
  
  Access in acute trs is good.
  
  The pre-amp is - is correct, efficient.

  Sounds

  In fact the problem of this guitar is the sound it a.
  
  Low, there is none, the mdiums do not look like much (sounds a bit a tin can), and treble not top.
  
  This guitar does not sustain.
  
  Yamaha should have the plastic design, it coterait cheaper and would have the same sound ...
  
  A disaster!

  Overall Opinion

  I've had three months.
  
  I bought it only because a friend was selling the 300 euros in very good state, I tried to think happen in acoustic draw something on a sound system. The challenge silent a little too hard up, I have to dig mdiums thoroughly, add a lot of bass, but hey, does not break a chair while the bars a. ..
  
  For the price, I have no regrets, even when the interface is good trs (neck especially) but the sound ... Hard drive ...
  
  Yamaha unfortunately do not wonder ... particularly with respect APX5 The series, it sounds like in folk, a technician at the music-a total pass to the test, stopping the need to work in total Ricard-music ... http://www.total-music.fr/bdessai/cad_essai.htm
