I REALLY like the sound of the Yamaha, for a lovely rich tone where some of the others can sound flat I'd definitely try out a Yammy before other makes
Comment from : Craig

Between the Martin Jr and Taylor GSMini, I think the Taylor has a fuller and more intricate sound than the Martin However, despite the fact that the GSMini doesn't come with a pickup and is higher in price than the Martin Jr, I would choose the Martin Jr over the Taylor

Where was the Eastman?

My own feelings on each guitar's sounds from best to worst, take them with a grain of salt as I am a nobody lol:brbr#1: Fender CD-60 I loved how warm and balanced it sounded, it didn't ring too bright but also didn't neglect any bass response, which is shocking since I don't hold Fender acoustics in very high regard This is the one I would pick as a singer/songwriter personally brbr#2: Yamaha FSX800 Another surprise for me as I don't typically like Yamaha guitars, this one also sounded very well balanced, but with a bit more focus on the high end than the Fender, the voice on this one impressed me considering how thin it is and I think it'd be a great all around gigging instrumentbrbr#3: Martin Junior It SHOCKED me how big of a voice that little guitar has, and it truly does sound like a Martin to my ears With big boomy bass (for the size) and well-balanced mids with decent highs, this would be a great guitar for old-school country and rockabillybrbr#4: Both Taylors These both tie here for me at fourth place, they sounded fairly sterile to my ear and that's not necessarily a bad thing, if you like the Taylor signature sound, both of these certainly give it to you at a low price and I feel these would be good guitars for beginners but I don't find either to be particularly sonically interesting brbr#5: Ibanez AEWC32FM This is easily the worst sounding guitar of the bunch for me acoustically (they didn't demo its electronics but knowing Ibanez, I'm positive it sounds good plugged in), it's muffled and flat sounded, very muted It's almost like listening to an acoustic guitar with your head under water, however having played similar models before, I know that they do make excellent acoustic lead guitars for anyone looking to get into acoustic lead, just be sure to plug them in or you won't hear them over the rhythm section
Comment from : Brian McCullar Music

Call me crazy but I feel Taylor has some kind of magic when it comes to the way the A and D string sounds
Comment from : Parabola

I just prefer that sound that Taylor has I love Martin as the next I prefer I do like the way a Martin plays
Comment from : Parabola

I love the academy series They have the signature Taylor sound but for that price is crazy!!
Comment from : Parabola

I just picked up a Yamaha fs830 TS and absolutely love it, sounds great, looks great and was less than $300
Comment from : Campfire Bear

Ibanez looks the coolest Yamaha sounds the best but really each was great with a great playerthe neck shape body shape strings string height all make a difference we have to come in person to see and feel though
Comment from : Tigerex966

666?
Comment from : Tigerex966

Does anyone actually play one? Haven't seen/heard it yet
Comment from : Juan Macrame

Well that Yamaha just blew me away
Comment from : Abraham Patterson

I have an Ibanez AE30 from 1980 and it never has had a buzz or anything and still beautiful Purple burst w gold hardware and lots of abalone
Comment from : Survivor

Thank you guys! very informative / im gonna get that Taylor rosewood☺
Comment from : gord

You guys need to talk about the action! Otherwise great video
Comment from : maivezonk

thanks! it helped me choose… great job
Comment from : Patrick Lavoie

Wow I didn't expect Yamaha sounding that good I like the Taylor too
Comment from : McRanz Springs

Ibanez and Yamaha both make a good product for the price Do a good setup with bone nut and saddle you got a nice instrument
Comment from : Flylipp Fantom

a 37-minute video just to explain 6 guitars?
Comment from : Damian Barrameda Jr

Taylor gs mini best sound
Comment from : Roger Bentley

I wish I could together the vintage tint in the FGX800C
Comment from : Joshua Taylor

Should have put an Alvarez in there of these I likes the Martin best
Comment from : Ralfy Baby

All these guitars are nice, and anyone of them would be a fine choice I think Yamaha has a slightly better timbre and attack It's really all just down to personal opinion or brand loyalty
Comment from : Justin Case

Not many people get a euphonium for Christmas - that’s a great mother Let’s see the demobrPs - the Yamaha sounds best to me
Comment from : 1davidpeter

I'm very late to the party, but thanks for an excellent, fun comparison video I wasn't even aware of the Martin 000cjr-10 I love that it has a 175" neck combined with all solid wood! I won't buy a Taylor because the more affordable ones all have the narrow nut width, and I just won't pay the price they want for a Taylor with a 175" width
Comment from : waynzwhirled

The Yamaha and the Martin sound great While not the same, I've had a Martin Dreadnought Jre for just over two years and it is an excellent guitar; it sounds good, is versatile and very comfortable
Comment from : Scoggers

Cooper's playing is phenomenal
Comment from : Prakhar

The Yamaha’s neck is the most comfortable I’ve played on a guitar that costs less than $1,000 It’s so nice Rolled fingerboard, great fretwork I mean Come on Such a great value
Comment from : Mike Mckinnon

Chris Hemsworth and TimTheTatman 💀
Comment from : justfrybread

Most helpful videos I’ve seen in a long time thanks again guy! I’ll be buying from you very shortly ;)
Comment from : Abraham Patterson

Love the way the Taylors sound
Comment from : Breal191

Hello guys! I watched your video for the first time and loved it! I liked it so much I read ALL the comments as well, in case I wanted to comment Im thinkiing about buying an Epiphone SG Special Just thought Id mention it Thanks for taking the time to do these video's for us
Comment from : mike limon

Why does Fender Cd60sce doesn't have bone nut & saddle?
Comment from : Michal Zaw

What do you think about the fender player series?
Comment from : Silver Star88

Does the yamaha FSX800C sound exactly as its acoustic only version the fs800?
Comment from : Diego Cervantes

I like that Cooper brought up about changing the strings I wouldn't have known that as a first time guitar buyer
Comment from : Laura Daniels

Yamaha looks and sounds better
Comment from : Paolo Pardi

Midwestern Jesus and Rick from PawnStars just schooled me on some great recommendations
Comment from : Hydralic Monkey

Have you tried the Sire acoustics? If you have, what do you think…
Comment from : Benjamin Castro

What language is coming out of these guys cake hole's
Comment from : James Fagan

What about the RJ504XZBIG Cock Range 🤔 ridiculous reference numbers A12N And what was the reference numbers on the chair coop
Comment from : James Fagan

Hey what are the vintage strings on the Martin ooocjr-10? thanks! Loved the video
Comment from : Sam Klein

How come you never mention where they are made It is an important factor
Comment from : danceswithcritters

Really no point in buying anything but a yamaha until you're ready to spend 1200 or more
Comment from : MrCoffeekelly

They all sound great!
Comment from : Tim S

I looked at the guitars in this video at your website and most were at the $700:00 level not under six hundred
Comment from : Walter Street

I enjoyed the demo of how they all sound Personally i thought the Yamaha sounds the best! I really want to love the Ibanez because of it's modern look and I'm a big fan of a guitar that's easy to play, but it definitely sounds a bit thin :( I might opt for it anyways Planning on buying a guitar very soon
Comment from : Uplift-Your Daily Pickup

What do you think about the f 310 that's all I can get in Mexico on Amazon ?
Comment from : Philip Janek

I think it’s time for me to go to the next entry level from the poc! $40 guitar to the Taylor GS mini, I just got in love with it!!!!!! thank you guys 🤟🏼
Comment from : Guillermo Vitola

great thank you which is the mike you use to record these beauties ? Thanks a lot
Comment from : Mod Mnri

Does anyone have tabs for this beautiful riff Cooper was playing ?
Comment from : Kinnaresh Patel

The Yamaha sounds sweet
Comment from : Israel Cagampan

Just recently I bought the Yamaha FSX800C in Natural and man, its serious guitar for the money I had to get the action lowered a little bit but out of the box factory setup strings and sound is exceptional Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable guitar Pickups are also great plugged-in
Comment from : Eric David

What's better, the gs mini or the taylor academy line?
Comment from : ezft hv

I think the Yamaha trumped against the other guitars here The sound attack is really clear and woody especially on the thicker strings
Comment from : Eric David

I have the Yamaha FSX800C and when I initially went to the store to try it I kept playing it and playing itfell in love with it took it home!brbrI was looking for an acoustic electric with a cutaway to add to my toolbox of guitars and it fit the bill perfectly brbrWhat you get for the money is really remarkable!!
Comment from : scott fishkind

These are all great choices I just picked up the Martin D-X2E for $599 Solid top acoustic electric with a really nice gig bag Sounds heavenly I just want to play it all the time I’d throw that and the Taylor Big Baby for $499 in there as more options in 2021
Comment from : Festus Haggen

Have a Gretsch Rancher Falcon Jumbo paid $700 for it exceptional quality craftsmanship
Comment from : Deputy Festus

Good Video, but: Why don't you play them? Should we guess how they sound? `:D
Comment from : Vane

Great vid You know, between the two of them, they have two peoples worth of normal hair Huh? Yeah
Comment from : stonefly69

Thank you
Comment from : Hamlet Fortinbras

Loving the melody being played - can't work out which I prefer of the Fender and the Taylor A12brDoes anyone know what the melody is - can't get it out of my head :-)
Comment from : Joe Roche

I can’t understand why you didn’t do a 7 under $700 It’s beyond me
Comment from : Renato Laino

Fsx830c 😕😕
Comment from : Chamila Somarathna

As an old high school band Euphonium player, I didn't need to Google that! LOL! In fact, I still have one Gotta keep the lips in shape Great video!

Why there's no seagull s6 original?
Comment from : Shutter Melo

Picked up a fg800 and it is phenomenal for the value Really a joy to play everyday I think I’ll have to pick up the fsx800

Comment from : Carlos Massey

Great video guys Small request for future ones, can you also show the bags in future videos for the guitars that come with them?
Comment from : Herling David Romero Adrianza

Yamaha FSX800C and Taylor Academy 12 stood out the most in my opinion
Comment from : flol

People always forget about the only North American made guitar you can buy under $600 SEAGULL
Comment from : Dan Gunnit

Have you ever heard of michael kelly guitars? Got one a few years back, amazing!!! But I mainly stick with my Taylor
Comment from : Rich Scott

Cooper's comment about strings was interesting I'd love to see a video where you guys take the same guitar and play with 5 or 6 different sets of strings to compare the sound
Comment from : TuxTweaks

Also, have you guys heard of Tanglewood and what do you think?
Comment from : Jonathan Stephens

What does Cooper play at the end please?
Comment from : Jonathan Stephens

Cooper needs to give us the tab to this piece he’s playing It’s so mesmerising!
Comment from : Colin Gray

I appreciate you
Comment from : K1RKK Raw-Law

How Breedlove organic acoustic guitars didn't make this list is absolutely mind boggling I played on several Martins & Taylor's guitars in the 800 and 159999 price range and the Breedlove absolutely without a doubt sounded better I bought the Breedlove Wildwood Organic Concerto electric acoustic with an all mahogany body that listed for 65000 for 51999 Breedlove is the only acoustic company that uses computer analytics testing to make their guitars String through bridge and natural bone nut Their brace work and fret work is also phenomenal My opinion is that both Martin and Taylor are way overpriced and your paying for the name brand
Comment from : pete detraglia

Great advice there Cooper at the end of the video In fact great job both of you
Comment from : Clifford Gwekwe

I'm confused, I watched this video and the one with guitars under $500 Neither video has shown the seagull s6 Why!
Comment from : Brian Barkley

I've enjoyed watching your review videos, and I just ordered the Martin DJR10 Sapele from you guys! Looking forward to its arrival!
Comment from : Sarah Bernier

Yamaha and cort make the best value for money acoustics! No one ever mentions cort though
Comment from : Nesta

What a nice and helpful video!brAs a long time Taylor fan, my favourite out of these was, surprisingly, the Martin Such a lovely tone and yes, you do hear the difference brbrOverall you really can’t go wrong with any of these, though This video just added two more guitars to my wish list thanks Chris & Cooper!
Comment from : Toskaleemusic

Nice to see a fellow euphonium -> guitar player A man of good taste, for sure B)
Comment from : mylordkronos

I'm glad i have the Fender CD140 sce upgraded to bone nut and saddle and Brass bridge pins this things Plays like Butter I don't want a 5000$ guitar Fender CD140sce does Pretty good Job 😳
Comment from : Alep Walling

If I were in the market for a new acoustic travel guitar, I would absolutely grab that Martin JrbrThe sound of that shocked me I was not expecting it to sound that great! 🐰❤️🎸🎵🤝✌️
Comment from : Jack the Rabbit Music

Please make a video on the new Epiphone s inspired by Gibson Acoustics
Comment from : advicebandpr

I have the Taylor Academy 12e My fingers are large All I am getting is buzz and fuzz trying to learn chords So frustrated! I should have played with several different guitars Something with a wider NUT The Taylor has a great voice I cannot make it sing
Comment from : bubbajeph

yamaha and the gs mini kicked asssssss
Comment from : chris rocco

Normally with these videos that compare multiple guitars Im focused entirely on the sound of each guitar to determine how they differ and which I feel sounds best to mein this case I got lost in Cooper's great playing and had to watch it a 2nd time to find the guitar tone favorites!
Comment from : Shane Roberts

You guys need a little more balance in these videosbrCoop give Chris half your hair ! Very much appreciated THANK YOU for doing these videos
Comment from : Ross Steuck

Ahhtasteful demo melody CG Grateful for well built affordable guitars Yamaha has indeed "knocked it out of the park" with FS/FG!
Comment from : Blair Sveinson

Comment from : The Money Making Mentor

I am torn Looking for my first guitar to learn on Currently looking at a gs mini mahagony Now I am questioning if I should get a guitar with a full scale length like the A12 Any thoughts?
