I've played guitar for 50 years, and own several, but never had a 12-string. I didn't want to break the bank as I am clearly not a professional musician, but I still wanted the best quality I could afford. I've owned a Yamaha APX-4A, the 6-string cousin to the APX700II-12, since 1996, and it is a great guitar. It sounds great amplified or unamplified, and the key component for any guitar: it stays in tune. Since I've never had a problem with the 4A, I chose the Yamaha 12-string over some other brand names in similar price ranges. The guitar was not shipped by desertcart, but by a partner, so the shipping date was not exact, and in fact arrived 2 days after the promised date, although still within the broad 2-week range they initially set. Guitars are usually shipped as a box-within-a-box, but this one was just shipped in the original Yamaha box, and arrived in perfect shape due to good packing by Yamaha (there were several indentations on the cardboard but no marks whatsoever on the guitar). The finish of the guitar is flawless, and it was playable right out of the box. One or two strings were a tad flat but overall I was impressed as I've bought more expensive guitars that needed a complete tech setup before they were playable. The frets are clean, there is no string buzzing at all. The action at the 12th fret is a little high for my tastes, but I don't plan to do much soloing down there anyway. Bar chords are hell on 12-strings, so as long as the action on the first 5 frets is low, then it works for this situation. After a month, I can say that I love this guitar. It's amazing how much better such real 12-string classics like "Walk Right In," "Wish You Were Here," and "Won't Back Down" sound on this guitar. I've even played the first few notes of the Byrds' "Mr Tambourine Man" and it sounds authentic. All in all, it's given me a new reason to play every day, to learn all these great songs. The thinline body of this and the 4A don't really take away too much tone, they both sound very strong and you can always plug either of them in. The 12-string actually includes a rubberized soundhole cover so you can minimize feedback when playing amplified onstage. I haven't tried that out yet, I don't think I'll be onstage anytime soon, but it's a nice touch. Also bought the HC-AG2 hardshell case from desertcart, which fits the 12-string perfectly. Review: Most Playable - This is a smallish 12 string. The neck is maybe a cm or two shorter than a full sized dreadnaught, which lessens the stress on the strings and therefore the neck . It is the easiest 12 string I've ever found to play. I've had a couple of Ovations, which were also easy to play and an expensive Taylor that had great tone, but was more difficult. I've been playing guitar for maybe 60 years. Where's the time go? The sound of this Yamaha is big and full despite it's smallish thin-line body. The smallish body also makes it easier to hold than a dreadnaught. Workmanship is excellent and From my point of view, it is an really excellent value. I wouldn't even try to play other 12 strings with my slightly arthritic fingers. Despite being furnished with a sound hole cover to minimize feedback, I haven't found feedback to be a problem and haven't used it. I haven't performed in a hard , echo-prone room yet. and may use the sound hole cover when I do. I'm very impressed and would strongly suggest you buy it. Thanks Yamaha. Thanks desertcart. ## Features - 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Spruce Top - Rosewood Fingerboard - Black - Laminate Body - Nato Neck ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0052J4QEU | | Back Material Type | TBD | | Best Sellers Rank | #112,640 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #414 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (53) | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | piezoelectric | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Accessory Kit (manual, truss rod wrench) | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | Large | | Item Dimensions | 5 x 20 x 47 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5"L x 20"W x 47"H | | Item Weight | 7.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Yamaha | | Manufacturer Part Number | APX700II12BL | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | APX700II-12 | | Model Number | APX700II12BL | | Neck Material Type | Nato | | Number of Strings | 12 | | Scale Length | 25 inches | | Set Name | Single | | String Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 086792952178 | | Warranty Description | 2-year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** TBD - **Body Material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Color:** Black - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** piezoelectric - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Nato - **String Material Type:** Phosphor Bronze - **Top Material Type:** Spruce Wood ## Images ![Yamaha APX700II 12-String Thinline Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610ZJC4uHkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can someone link me to where i can get an acurate sized case for this guitar?** A: Yamaha makes a hard case, model number HC-AG2.

Thanks Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Instrument from Yamaha *by G***Z on December 31, 2019* Timely shipped in single cardboard box. No packaging issues. Craftsmanship and finish is exceptional. Needed a set up as action was a little high. Came with 10's but I put on Ernie Ball 9's 12 string set. Plays great after set up. Neck has a good feel to it, not too small like a Rick,IMHO.Thin body makes it a little more comfortable to play. If you are a solid body electric player, this guitar is for you. Luthier recommends to tune 1/2 step down to reduce stress on bridge. Or tune down after playing,pain in the butt, or play with capo. He recommends this for all hollow body 12 strings.Sounds good unplugged as well as electric, built in tuner a plus. Overall for $400 very pleased, would recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha APX700II 12-String Thinline Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Black - WINGO Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitars - Rosewood Color with 5 Picks - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/14096544-yamaha-apx700ii-12-string-thinline-acoustic-electric-guitar-black](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/14096544-yamaha-apx700ii-12-string-thinline-acoustic-electric-guitar-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
