Yamaha APX500

Yamaha APX500 Acoustic Electric

A fantastic and highly regarded electro-acoustic from Yamaha’s hugely successful APX series, the APX500 is a superb all-round instrument designed with comfort, playability, and live performance in mind. Slim-bodied, lightweight, and extremely easy to play, this guitar has become a favourite with singer-songwriters, gigging musicians, beginners, and electric guitar players looking for an acoustic that feels immediately comfortable in the hands.

The APX500 features a spruce top with nato back and sides, delivering a bright, balanced, and articulate tone with excellent clarity. Its thinline cutaway body makes it especially comfortable for long playing sessions and gives easy access high up the neck, while Yamaha’s onboard pickup and EQ system provides a clean, natural amplified sound that works beautifully through a PA, acoustic amp, or recording setup.

This is very much a performance-focused acoustic guitar — compact, reliable, and designed to sound excellent plugged in. The electronics are simple, dependable, and surprisingly good for a guitar in this price range, making it ideal for live gigs, rehearsals, songwriting, or home recording.

Condition is very good overall, with only light cosmetic signs of normal use. Frets are in excellent shape, the neck is straight, electronics work perfectly, and the guitar plays cleanly and comfortably all the way up the fretboard. The APX500 has earned a reputation over the years as one of the best-value electro-acoustics Yamaha ever produced — reliable, easy to live with, and far better built than many guitars in the same price bracket. A hard case is included in the price.

A great option for anyone wanting a quality electro-acoustic from a respected brand without spending a fortune.
