I can recommend either of the two Yamahas that I own. An APX9NA used for a latin feel to the music. It's designed to be plugged-in although acousticaly it's not bad. D'Addario nylon strings used. Also an AES1500 for electric sets. A beautiful orange semi-acoustic with the flexible choice of single coil or humbucker combinations. Elixier, nanowebs used. Both guitars are really well made using good quality materials.
