Top: Spruce
Back & Sides: Nato
Neck: Nato
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Bridge: Rosewood
Body Depth: 80-90mm
Scale: 650mm
Machines: Gold
Frets: 21
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!
