APX 600. Due to changes in the internal bracing. Increased the low end, enhanced the mids and added more high end sparkle. Doesn’t that just mean the guitar is louder than its APX 500 predecessor?
I owned an APX4a 20+ years ago & should have kept it. It was an excellent all-rounder. That sweepable mid control is a big deal, as you can modify the character of the guitar for different songs. I now own several types of guitar but if I were starting again I'd just have an APX 6-string & a 12. It's all you need. Spend your money on a nice amp & some tasty FX.
I don't know if you just cut loose and let your talent show or if the black one at the end -- is it Yamaha FSX800C? Sounded fun and wanted to hear more?!?
The APX is a much smaller guitar. The FG is a full size dread. You should try to find a music store that has both and try them out just for size. Not to mention sound. I’m sure they both sound fantastic.
I have one of these FS-TA guitars, it was set up near perfect out of the box and it sounds phenomenal with or without reverb/chorus. Could not be happier.
G I just played a FG-TA today, and it sounded very good. Sounded just as good as the ar1, and better than the FG 830. Probably the best non-solid wood guitar out there.
I like Yamaha, I've played Transacoustics, and I own an LSTA, but I'm sorry they have a serious design flaw - I've been talking to Yamaha management about it, but they're giving me the brush off. I realize it's not uncommon for even expensive electro-acoustics to have a badly designed end jack strap button, but this one is the worst - you can't get most straps onto it, and any you do get on fall off - and you definitely can't fit a strap lock. It's ironic because the manual says make sure to do that to protect your £800 guitar from damage, but in that case you need to forget about playing standing up! After a while I WAS able to wangle something precariously on there, but here's the killer - you have to take the strap off every time you change the batteries (and it eats batteries) because the numpty who designed it put the battery compartment right by the strap button jack. It didn't even come with a front button fitted, so that was extra, but just as well because at least that one is now right! And there's no need for any of this - I also have a £600 Yamaha AC3R, and that came with 2 nice deep buttons that will take any strap and any strap lock, and the battery compartment is on the shoulder - so why didn't they use the same buttons on the Transacoustics?! And finally I'm not impressed with the TA just plain acoustic - you need the effects on - nor do I rate it plugged into an amp or PA - if you want to plug in the AC3 sounds great, and it has a huge range of controls to tweak the sound, so as far as I'm concerned the TA's are a one trick pony.
SuperJeremiah333 yes!!!! Yamaha was my first acoustic and no longer play them. That strap deal was a deal breaker and gave me ptsd, lol. It was a pain to load on straps and replace batteries.
The end jack strap button is indeed the one thing I don't like on my Transacoustic. Surprising that it's possible to go wrong about such a simple thing.
@@tohaason Yes - well alas it's the same the world over, and especially so on the internet, websites, and software companies. At the end of my phone calls to eBay or TalkTalk or whoever, they often say 'is there anything else I can do for you?' I often say 'yes, could you please find a big sheet of paper and a marker pen, write 'IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT' on it, take it over to the tech guys or design team, pin it on the wall, and say 'OK meatheads, this means you!'' On a more positive note, if you use an Ernie Ball strap they have thin leather ends, and there's just room for a D'Addario guitar strap safety clip to fit on over it. You still have to take everything off to change the batteries of course, and yes, we could design something better than this half an hour after having a pre-frontal lobotomy, but at least it's possible to overcome the problem with a little ingenuity, and at a modest expense! And just to say that following my first post, I'm warming to it plugged in now, especially if I don't use the built-in effects...
Why do you only demonstrate the guitar using a pick,,you only get the true sound of a guitar by finger picking,,otherwise it's just the sound of plastic on metal,,it's not producing a natural sound,,,a guitar is supposed to be played,,not banged like a drum,,
probablt because most people use a pick! Best tell a lot of big players off then for not finger picking and just bashing about on their million selling songs then!!
He plays:
CPX600 @ 0:00
FG @ 2:40
FS @ 3:20
APX600 @ 7:44
Only ever borrowed a 310 and love it... These look and sound fantastic... Think I'm sold on the little black one...
i own a cpx600 and it sounds a lot better than it costs. reallly
@@tunangunang6898 it sounds pretty much the same when plugged in , but acoustically its much quieter and less bassy and overall less rich tone
@@skymarbles7953so which one has the better sound
CPX 600 is so good
Can’t go wrong with Yamaha. I have a couple. My latest is the CPX-600. It’s an awesome guitar… a great addition to my arsenal.
I think you'll find the back and sides are laminated, not solid mahogany...

That APX600 sounded wonderful.
Yes it does i have one!
@@francis2246 Hi, is it good unplugged like he says? Very mixed opinions online.
@@Shralps of course! Very Good unplugged

I love cpx600🥰🥰🥰
cpx 600, holy shit.
Which one has the better sound CPX 600 or APX600?
this video gave me all the info i need! thank you
Would a trans acoustic effects still work OK through a good quality sound hole pickup?
I don't know if you just cut loose and let your talent show or if the black one at the end -- is it Yamaha
FSX800C? Sounded fun and wanted to hear more?!?
It was APX-600
what string u are using for cpx 600 bro?
Enak banget dengar suara nya lembut yamaha semakin didepan
Hhh
Would you recommend the apx or cpx for someone who's never played before?
APX for sure. Smaller body, smaller neck, overall easier to play.
Can someone tell me if APX600 vs APX600FM has any difference other than colours ?
Its name also different sjjsjsj
Flamed Maple probably so different woods
So how do they compare to plugging an electro accoustic into an amp?
This guy is a pure salesman
Great video! Can you tell hat mike is that of yours!?
Nice done... ☺
hola me puedes decir cuanto cuesta como la puedo adquirir te escribo desde ecuador o donde la puedo adquirir
Lo puedes conseguir en zZsounds
Hye ... Which one sounds Goode's between of Yamaha apx600 or yamaha fgx800c... Please give me yours answer guys...

@@glorioskiola hye glori
Is this the guitar that Bruce/Caitlin Jenner plays?
👍👍👍
I would rather have them make sure thier solid wood guitars are properly set up. They sound way better without the sound effects.
I have one of these FS-TA guitars, it was set up near perfect out of the box and it sounds phenomenal with or without reverb/chorus. Could not be happier.
G I just played a FG-TA today, and it sounded very good. Sounded just as good as the ar1, and better than the FG 830. Probably the best non-solid wood guitar out there.
They’re always set up great and the intonation on point, and i only own a made in China fg700
Good job they are set up well then!
@@valueofnothing2487 Solid Top. not non solid all around
All faulty and low quality APX 600 are sold in India !!!

Play them. Don't talk.
Quiten al nefasto del Martinoli de los anuncios es insoportable....
Stop talking
You should understand by your own , we are here to listen music
Why you guys talk so much? We are here to listen music!
Yeah man. Irritating
Creepy plastic piezo sound.

Yamaha guitar colors are all unattractive and outdated, look at taylor guitar colors they're awesome
