I love that you play the same song with all of the guitars. Some video reviewers will play a different song with each model (are they bored???) so you don't get an apples-to-apples comparison. Thanks!
I'm an FG owner. I had stopped playing guitar for a while and picked the FG up about 7 years ago. I was surprised by the sound I was getting out of my $200. There's simply no company lime Yamaha with the attention to detail and bringing out amazing acoustics from a guitar. I don't think anyone will regret getting several Yamaha acoustics.
I purchased the Yamaha Acoustisonic concert body using .11Elixir's and it's the Martin I've always wanted. Haha ! It roars without the effects. Jam On ! Thanks Chris, you sold me on my choice. Yamaha is a great guitar for the $$$. Second one I've owned. The other 800 cutaway I gave to a young aspiring teen gal who just loves it !
They now have the super handmade LL56 and LL86. They cost $5000 to $8000 or ? and sound beautiful.There is no cutaway option that I can find on these high-end models.Yamaha also don't tell you the string spacing at the saddle from high E to low E. They also don't tell you the neck girth at 1st fret tapering up to 12th fret.
I have been playing for 30 years and have to say that my two guitars that I play in public are the FG800 and the FG830. The FG800 is for most songs played but for songs that need a lot of low end I play the FG830. I started with a Taylor 110e and a Martin both great guitars bit I switched to Yamaha guitars 18 years ago (much better priced guitars) I am not ashamed at all about Yamaha guitars sound. Great review
Bro... Yamaha is a special guitar. It's hard to put into words. I guess because you pick up a Martin Eric Clapton acoustic, and because it's almost $4000, you're not overly impressed. It's great, but you're like"yeah, this guitar is really nice". Pick up a Yamaha, and there's some emotions going on there. My first "good" guitar was a Yamaha, and I fell in love with that thing, and regret selling it. Since then I've owned some random guitars like "blueridge", I owned a mid 70's martin classical. I had a gibson parlour (g1 or something??) and a gibson country western. But sorry, my 3 yamahas I've owned have been special. They are silly good for the price.
yup totally agree, their line up has been the best for years on row and the quality/price ratio is just unbeatable, big up to yamaha for giving us such great instruments to play on for decades on end
this is really one of the most professional guitar channels on youtube, quality content that informs the viewer without throwing in a bunch of nonsense that doesnt matter this is just the opinion of some kid on the internet, but keep up the good work!
I've owned the APX600 for two years now, love the sound when plugged into my Fishman Artist 120 amp. I previously owned two Taylor's (300 and 400 series) and a Westerly made Guild, I sold them all after plugging in my new APX600. The Taylor's and Guild had a bit better action but the amplified sound was the reason I sold them both.
If you're on a budget, Yamaha is hard to beat. I bought an FG730s years ago because of how great it sounded even compared the more expensive models. Upgrade the plastic nut, saddle and bridge pins with bone and it gets even better.
Just picked up a transonic LL .. I love it. You info helped. I was afraid of it being gadgety and lesser in quality. But I’m truly satisfied. I’ve played for 40 years, I didn’t think the convenience of some reverb on board would matter. But I really enjoyed it!
@@odontec1 I also bought an APX600 after watching reviews. The strings were .013 gauge and the action was high, it had to be lowered at the neck and at the bridge. I had the setup done by a pro luthier, and put .011 d'Addario strings on it (the original ones were coated, I didn't like the texture). I also sanded the glossy neck finish to make it smooth. I absolutely love that guitar now.
Bout time Chris! I've got a Yamaha FG700 I bought a few years ago and had someone who really knows how to play compare it to other guitars in a shop. It outperformed them all! Yamaha's have an awesome sound and I highly recommend them, especially on what you get for the money. Great video. Keep up the good work!
I just came here for validation since I bought an apx600. This is the best review and overview I've found yet for this model, and it's a comparison, too.
Can confirm, the quality was well worth it. After a week or so adjusting to the tension on the new strings, the apx600 has a smooth sound and a lot of great features.
Very good video, Personally, I liked the A series. Very nice smooth sound down low with nice balance in the sound overall. It also looked to me that the more that is put into the instrument, the easier you found them to play, always hitting the notes clean with the more expensive instrument. I really enjoyed watching you play the difference, this was very educational. What nice guitars Yamaha make.
This is the first video where I can hear the sound quality differences in the various levels of guitars. Very helpful for discerning bang for buck choices. Thanks.
Not an acoustic comment but, I recently purchased a 15 year old Yamaha SA-2200 (335 style ). I have played it next to many Gibson and other similar guitars , it blows them out of the water. Love it so much ,I sold my old ES-355. The SA-2200 has become my "go to" semi-hollow axe.
I have an APX600, I had it set up by a pro luthier, replaced the strings with .011 gauge ones, I sanded the glossy neck finish to make it smooth and I love it!
I’ve got the AC1M and after playing several models this is the best sounding guitar. Great finish work outside. No fret problem at all 4 yrs on. Neck just as straight. Only thing is if they could have finished it just a bit more inside. Otherwise it is a dynamite guitar!
I have a Yamaha FGX800C, that I was thinking about upgrading. I went to Guitar Center and the salesman said that he also prefers Yamaha and that there’s know need trade it in, because it is a great guitar.
Best demo I've seen from Alamo yet. Two thumbs up for dedicating this specifically to Yamaha models. Really appreciated. I have an APX600NT. Perfect. I like the FS8xx series too.
Wow! Your detailed descriptions are very helpful and educational! I feel so much better educated and prepared to purchase a guitar just after the first segment!
Thank you so much for these videos. Your descriptions are detailed and provide salient information for the customer. I also appreciate the enthusiasm with which you talk about the guitars. In my view, the best reviews of acoustic guitars on TH-cam (and I have watched a lot to try to sort out my next purchase).
I know this is a pretty old video and hopefully someone is still following. I have a chance to buy either a new A1M or FGX 820c. Both quite similar but also a little different. I like how both play and sound equally. There are subtle differences but they're positive and I feel I could enjoy either. Do you have a recommendation or preference for 1 over the other? Is there a better long-term choice between the 2? Thanks!
Bang for Buck, Yamaha acoustics are outstanding. I have a 1975 FG-700S (Nippon Gakki Black Label) which has been my companion for well over 40 years. It still plays well.
thanks for your totally objective and informative videos..looking for an acoustic guitar is tough...the Yamaha is the one that I keep coming back to..sound and quality for the price is hard to beat...
next time I'll buy a guitar.. I'll buy it from you guys. very professionally made video. really in depth everything we need to know about the instrument. Thank you
I bought the FG830,new player,I am 65. I am finding the action is too heavy. Sending the guitar in to get it lightened up,thinner strings. As a beginner with arthritis in fretting hand (and no calauses,yet) I was finding it too hard to practice for more than 5 minutes (I have to hold the strings down so hard,strings felt like they were cutting into my fingertips). Having action adjusted does not indicate a problem with the instrument. I am excited to get it back and start practicing again. For now it is "music theory"
I really want to get my hands on a FGX830C. I love Yamaha and I find the necks are easier to play that Taylors. I would love an A series but that might be a little out of my price range.
I am new to acoustic guitar (under 2 years in.) I still like the big body style (dread) acoustic guitars but the concert and parlor size are starting to get interesting.
I'm visiting guitar stores tomorrow to possibly get my next guitar. I'm ready for a step up from my 38 yo FG345ii that's been there for me through HS, college and beyond. I've narrowed it down to the A5R and the LL16 but I'd also like to experience the LL-TA in person.
I can't find any video playing an acoustic guitar steel or nylon demonstration non-plugs / amplified. Would you do that, the audience/clients would appreciate it. With the pandemic - quarantine many can't go tryout a guitar, so online buy is easier and safer. Thanks
How did you find it? I was looking at the fs820 and the apx600. I have shoulder issues so wanted a smaller body guitar. I ended up with the fs820 and put on 10 gauge strings as well as lowering the action. I agree they are really well put together guitars with very nice sound.
I tried a CSF 1M just couldn't believe how good it sounded and played. Not to be rude but at 7:31 looks like nylon strings for the B and E strings. Yes/ No?
Scott, I have an LL16 ARE and it’s one of the most incredible sounding guitars I’ve ever played. I jumped from an Fx370c to the LL. The fx was also an amazing sounding guitar (especially for the price), but the LL made it sound like a first act guitar from wal mart lol. 100% well worth the money. Sounds better than most 2-3k dollar martins and Taylor’s, definitely sounds better than a hummingbird as well. I won’t play anything but Yamahas when it comes to acoustics. Hands down the best value for the money out there.
Great 👍🏻 video again, but just one point, The A series only has the ARE ageing treatment for the higher A3 and A5. The Yamaha details make a lot out of it and the special microphone effects in the electronics, but just as you are getting excited and thinking you can get all this at the cheaper price you notice almost in the small print that it’s Not in the A1 or AC1 models. Still, it’s a lovely instrument
I believe they modified the scale with the years tho, amazing line up from yamaha nonetheless, big up to them for providing us with such a good instruments over years on row
They're pretty similar but I would recommend the Yamaha FX370C because it has a cutaway (Makes it a lot easier to play higher frets) and can be plugged in!
Excellent introduction to the series and models Yamaha produce. I’m partial to the tonal balance and separation of the Concert/OOO sized A series. Which model of Yamaha’s A series would you say is the sweetspot for both finger-style and flat-pick? And which dark finish was the AC1(?) in? Most instructive. Many thanks.
I've an old APX4A and a new APX700II. Lovely guitars but as they're aimed at electric players, they could do with a lower action set up. Both of mine have had the bridge set up lowered.
IMO dollar for dollar, Yamaha beats the big names by a lot. i.e. a $1000 Yamaha will beat a $1000 Taylor/Martin. And the thing is that a ridiculously priced Yamaha doesn't exist, unlike Taylor/Martin.
I’ve had a Yamaha for years now but just got a Martin and I have no intention of getting rid of it just because I have the Martin now. Yamaha’s have some really good quality guitars at great prices. While most of them aren’t made in Japan, Yamaha is a Japanese company and are very particular about producing quality products. I’d say you can pay much less for Yamaha and still get a well built and great sounding guitar. If you’re on a tighter budget, Yamaha is a great option.
They are nice sounding guitars...I had a new $400 acoustic electric fender ...traded it in for a $300 acoustic electric Yamaha....the tone of the Yamaha is so much better...they said fenders acoustic have improved in the past couple years and they probably have ...but not up to the awesome True Tone of a Yamaha
Can Yamaha fgx800c be taken? I first looked for this guitar and fgx820c . I couldn't get it so I thought I would take either Cort mr600f or mr710f Both the Cort mr 600f / mr 710f guitars are very good in terms of specifications. Now available on Yamaha fgx800c. How is this guitar for intermediate or advance player?
Hi Chris I would like to ask you about Yamaha Guitars , are they collectible ? I’m looking at a vary nice FG-301 1975 it’s $400 Orang label made in Japan I think. I’m in the Philippines and have been looking for information about these but I don’t see much about them . The guitar is in excellent shape I don’t see any blemishes . What’s your feeling about this guitar
What Yamaha full-size classical guitar has a solid spruce top? Does the C-317? How bout the 225's? I had a 200-series that was stolen.. Was given to me. I don't think it had a solid spruce top.. Not sure
i am looking to buy a yamaha or martin. i am in india and will be in the usa next month. i tried emailing you but the mail bounced back. how do i reach you ?
I love that you play the same song with all of the guitars. Some video reviewers will play a different song with each model (are they bored???) so you don't get an apples-to-apples comparison. Thanks!

also that rosewood body definitely gives the fg8390 a big advantage on low end and tones plus resonance over the 800

Played an APX and was blown away at how loud and solid it sounded acoustically
I am proud owner of the FG 830. Ive had it for a couple months now and i have to say it sounds as beautiful as it looks
I am into finger style and little bit of strumming. Should I get the FS800 or the FG800 (Dreadnaught).
Yes! Have that one.
Can confirm, I bought an FG800 as my first guitar and I'm hooked for life.

My dad played Yamaha acoustic guitars and so do I. Great guitars. Gotta say that APX sounds rather thin.
I have a Yamaha LL16ARE I will never find a better guitar. I tried them all!
Have you tried an LL56ARE ?
I'm visiting guitar stores tomorrow to possibly get my next guitar. I'm ready for a step up from my 38 yo FG345ii that's been there for me through HS, college and beyond. I've narrowed it down to the A5R and the LL16 but I'd also like to experience the LL-TA in person.

Can listen to this guy all day,stil l don't own a guitar get but I'm looking at an art and luthier one
yamaha and dean guitars are the only acoustics i've played that sound great at the 299 price point.

Great videos as always! What are your thoughts on Yamaha’s LL series that boast all solid wood construction?
Scott, I have an LL16 ARE and it’s one of the most incredible sounding guitars I’ve ever played. I jumped from an Fx370c to the LL. The fx was also an amazing sounding guitar (especially for the price), but the LL made it sound like a first act guitar from wal mart lol. 100% well worth the money.

Still, it’s a lovely instrument
The mic input on the FGX830C sounds way better than the line input. You could really hear the bass. What microphone did you use in this video?
Very useful video! Minor correction at 2:50: the scale length is 25" according to Yamaha's website, not 24 3/4".
I believe they modified the scale with the years tho, amazing line up from yamaha nonetheless, big up to them for providing us with such a good instruments over years on row

IMO dollar for dollar, Yamaha beats the big names by a lot. i.e. a $1000 Yamaha will beat a $1000 Taylor/Martin. And the thing is that a ridiculously priced Yamaha doesn't exist, unlike Taylor/Martin.
I’ve had a Yamaha for years now but just got a Martin and I have no intention of getting rid of it just because I have the Martin now. Yamaha’s have some really good quality guitars at great prices. While most of them aren’t made in Japan, Yamaha is a Japanese company and are very particular about producing quality products. I’d say you can pay much less for Yamaha and still get a well built and great sounding guitar. If you’re on a tighter budget, Yamaha is a great option.
Thanks a lot. Just got a AC3R, amazing!!!
TECHNOPOLIS me too, fabulous all around guitar
They are nice sounding guitars...I had a new $400 acoustic electric fender ...traded it in for a $300 acoustic electric Yamaha....the tone of the Yamaha is so much better...they said fenders acoustic have improved in the past couple years and they probably have ...but not up to the awesome True Tone of a Yamaha
Can Yamaha fgx800c be taken?
I first looked for this guitar and fgx820c . I couldn't get it so I thought I would take either Cort mr600f or mr710f
Both the Cort mr 600f / mr 710f guitars are very good in terms of specifications.
Now available on Yamaha fgx800c. How is this guitar for intermediate or advance player?
Hi Chris I would like to ask you about Yamaha Guitars , are they collectible ? I’m looking at a vary nice FG-301 1975 it’s $400 Orang label made in Japan I think. I’m in the Philippines and have been looking for information about these but I don’t see much about them . The guitar is in excellent shape I don’t see any blemishes . What’s your feeling about this guitar
Hi. Which one is better in terms of sound between this apx600 which is not solid top and fg800 that have solid top? Thanks 😊
What Yamaha full-size classical guitar has a solid spruce top? Does the C-317? How bout the 225's? I had a 200-series that was stolen.. Was given to me. I don't think it had a solid spruce top.. Not sure
Can you explain the difference in the APX 600 & 700 guitars please? Thank you!
Never considered Yamaha. They all sound really good. Nice review and playing.
What's that song your playing?
It is Chris's original song.
I will order a "Yamaha Acoustic Guitar" for myself during the Holidays.
