Yamaha APX500II — Black

Some guitars are perfectly happy sitting quietly in the corner. This Yamaha would rather be plugged in.

This Yamaha APX500II is an excellent example of one of Yamaha's most popular acoustic-electric designs. It's comfortable, easy to play, and has that unmistakable “hey, plug me into an amp” attitude.

The thin-body cutaway makes it a particularly comfortable guitar for playing on the couch, while the Yamaha System 65 electronics make it equally at home onstage. And that Gloss Black finish? Yeah... it looks pretty sharp under stage lights. A little dramatic, perhaps, but guitars are allowed to have a little drama.

It's in excellent condition, with only very minor signs of use—mostly a few pick marks here and there. It plays great, sounds great, and is ready to get back to work.
