It boasts a stage-focused pickup system with Yamaha’s proprietary piezo and SRT transducer technology for natural tone and feedback rejection. Constructed with a mahogany body and rosewood fretboard, it delivers rich bass response thanks to its new scalloped bracing pattern. Lightweight and stylish in Oriental Blue Burst, it’s designed for modern performers seeking comfort, versatility, and professional sound quality. ## Description As an electric guitarist in the '80s, if you wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options available. In 1987, Yamaha made the first acoustic guitar that could be taken from a guitar rack, plugged in and played at volume, problem free; no more howling feedback, misplaced mics or dreaded extended sound checks. The latest APX600 features a unique under-saddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer featured in the highly-acclaimed a series range, a natural tone and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound guitarists crave. Although its style has evolved, the essence of the APX remains the same. Today, it boasts a more natural look, a deeper body for better bass response and greater volume, and a new non-scalloped bracing pattern for a responsive, dynamic tone. Review: Outstanding value for money guitar! - Great guitar, with excellent finish in the Old Violin Sunburst color. Guitar is light and easy to handle, stays in tune well, straight forwards & easy to use electronics. The guitar also has an easy action, great fun to strum or fingerplay, it has surprisingly great sound unplugged for such a thin guitar and is excellent when amplified. A fantastic guitar to learn on or as a workhorse. Outstanding value for money, can highly recommend the Yamaha APX600 OVS! Review: Quite good for the price - OK, well I'm a bass player who wanted a little acoustic guitar to mess around with. It needed to be $300 or less. This one came up with great reviews and so I just bought one sight unseen It's really hard to believe that you can get a guitar of this quality and tone for this price. I have to give it 5 stars with an important caveat. What I like: Well built and solid. I particularly like the plastic edging around the body this keeps it from getting dents. Narrow body. I didn't want some big ole clunker for when I'm plunking around while watching movies. Really great sound, both as an acoustic and when plugged in. It's bright and full - very good steel string sound. The electric features are also very good. There are low, mid, and high tone controls for when plugged in. Also a volume control. The built in tuner is fabulous. Note that it works on AA batteries that are built into small pop out compartment that's built into the body. The tuner allows you the center the intonation very closely and easily. It's easy to always be in perfect tune. i'm not sure if the batteries are required to play amplified e. g. whether its active electric. The finish is cool - a greenish sort of blue sunburst. I also like the inlay around the sound hole. Seem like high quality machine heads. We'll see how they hold - not 100% sure yet, but i'll assume the best Problem: Right out of the box the action was way too high.. To remedy this I changed the strings to a "light" set (.11 high E). This helped but not enough. So, I tried adjusting the truss rod. This also helped but the action was still to high for me. So, I very carefully removed the strings, removed and shaved the plastic bridge piece on the bottom - about 1 sixteenth of an inch. Then I worked to get the truss rod in a good position with the new lower string setting. I was also prepared to shave the nut which is also easily removable. As it turned out didn't have to take this step. Shaving the bridge and adjusting the truss was enough to bring it into a really really playable level of action - strings over frets. So, that was a lot to do and i had to be very careful doing it, but it's paid off. It now has really great action like a very good electric guitar that's been set up right. If you'r action is too high you might want to consider having an expert do this. if you do it yourself note that you have to be very very careful. Remember that you can always sand off more off the little plastic bridge piece but YOU CAN'T PUT IT BACK ON. So you might have to keep putting the strings back on and then taking them off until you've got it right. At this point i am very happy with this guitar. My only other comment is that, for me anyway, the neck is very narrow. I'm used to bass necks which are much wider or the strings are typically set further apart., I do have to get may fingers bunched up in a pretty tight configuration as for instance when playing a low A major chord. but that's probably just me. But don't expect a wide neck as on a typical nylon string classical guitar. This is more like a telecaster neck or maybe even a little more narrow than that. Again, for the money, its a really great choice and I highly recommend it with the noted caveat. ## Features - Thin-line cutaway Body design for exceptional playability - 25" Scale Length and narrower string spacing for Enhanced comfort - New scalloped bracing pattern for increased bass response - Abalone sound hole rosette - Stage-focused pickup system for shaping your sound in the mix ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07965TCK1 | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,601 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #3 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Oriental Blue Burst | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,224 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00889025115056 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | piezoelectric | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Guitar, Guitar Stand | | Instrument | guitar | | Instrument Size | Thin Body | | Item Dimensions | 42.2 x 5 x 19.7 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 40.25"L x 3.56"W x 15.12"H | | Item Type Name | Acoustic-Electric Guitar | | Item Weight | 6.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Yamaha PAC | | Manufacturer Part Number | ZY92700 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | APX600 | | Model Number | APX600 OBB | | Model Series | APX | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25 inches | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 889025115056 | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty yamaha corporation of america (yamaha) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into every product we represent.

Sounds great. Stays in tune. BEAUTIFUL COLOR ! You have to see it to truly appreciate the color. This is a medium thickness guitar, which is nice if the wider bodied guitars make your strumming arm sore from hitting the sharp edge of the body. Great guitar for beginners or pro's. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha APX600 OBB Thin Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Oriental Blue Burst - CAHAYA 41 In Acoustic Guitar Bag 0.35 In Thick Padding Water Resistent Dual Adjustable Shoulder Strap Guitar Case Gig Bag with Back Hanger Loop, Black CY0152 - 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/57644132-apx600-obb-thin-body-acoustic-electric-guitar-oriental-blue-burst](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/57644132-apx600-obb-thin-body-acoustic-electric-guitar-oriental-blue-burst) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
