pre, go ibanez. the APX/CPX series yamahas available here are laminate tops lang eh, at least yung AW series ng ibanez eh puro solid top. regarding the pickups, i think pareho lang sila. pero i find the ibanez ones better. i've owned a yamaha FGX series acoustic/electric and an ibanez AEG series acoustic/electric. mas nagustuhan ko yung ibanez. pero check mo din yung pickups ng ibanez, yung iba ata hindi na fishman eh.
one more thing, mas mura yung ibanez, kung ang budget mo eh pang CPX ng yamaha, you can buy the high-end ibanez guitar na, and i think cheaper pa. solid top pa.
