Yamaha APXT2 Unboxing + Size Comparison + Test Playing

I would like to present my new acoustic guitar: it's a Yamaha APXT2 Acoustic Travel Guitar (Black), a 3/4 size guitar which is a smaller replica of the popular Yamaha
I'm doing an unboxing video in the nature, in the beautiful Alpine environment of my homeland, Aosta Valley, Italy, as I did one year ago with another guitar (the Epiphone EJ-200 SCE VN jumbo guitar).

This is a very interesting guitar, because the neck's size and playability are exactly the same as a regular sized guitar, but the body and the headstock are significantly smaller than usual lacoustic or electric guitars, which means that the Yamaha APXT2 guitar can be easily carried on a plane, on a train or even in a car full of luggages. This is what made me decide to buy it. It looks beautiful and it's very light and it sounds pretty good for its size.
It also features a built-in tuner (which I didn't tested in this video, because I didn't have batteries with me and I didn't notice that batteries were available in the little bag included in the guitar case!) and a built-in preamp, so the guitar can be plugged into an amplifier and it can be used as an acoustic-electric guitar.

After showing the instrument, I made several size comparisons with different guitar models that I have (acoustic, electric guitars and even guitalele and ukulele), so you can have an idea about the Yamaha APXT2's size.

After tuning the guitar, you can hear how it sounds after the 08:10 minute.
I'm playing just a few of my songs in different styles: with capo, with barré chords, with open chords, fingerstyle.
