the apx's are lovely to handle and delightful when amplified - like someone said - you have to bash the thing if you have an audience when played acoustically .    it doesn't do subtlety at room temperature.

the 700 is one of the upmarket models - the next step up is the 900 - which is all solid wood. should be good - very good! the small body makes it feedback resistant.

I wish I had one !
