Appreciate the time taken to make this video but how can you compare the sound if you strum loudly with the pick one but finger pick gently another one??
Comment from : Silvano Stasolla

Well the Taylor is no longer a sub $500 guitar more like $699 Still an awesome guitar
Comment from : Groovy Moon

I was intrigued by the Ibanez EAWC32FM as an electric playerbut the Plastic Nut and Saddle is unacceptable There are cheaper Ibanez Acoustic guitars with a Bone Nut and Saddle Don't know what Ibanez was thinking here?

Comment from : Masa Mune

The Yamaha does it for me! I like the nice bright tone! It has I like it the best But no case I wish it had a hard case like the Fender one does
Comment from : Angel Martinez

The fender with the hard case oh man thats such a good deal and sounds amazing, also taylor for the price but a gig bad, its a tough choice
Comment from : Omar Gerardo

If I had to rate them I would go:brbrTaylor - Sounded pretty amazing for a low end Taylor, but I wouldn't expect anything less from them When I heard the first low E I was hooked Great range which is pretty typical for TaylorsbrYamaha - Almost always will take a Yamaha over any other brand when playing lower end modelsbrIbanez - This thing sounded amazing when using the pickups, seemed a bit boring acousticallybrFender - Not terrible, but I would take the Yamaha or the Taylor over it, unless I really needed an AE Might shop around thoughbrEpiphone - Just didn't really like the sound of this one at all Not really my style eitherbrbrbrGreat vid

Washburn WLO12SE
Comment from : Rhigo

Comment from : scottpc1234

But what about the fg840 with maple ?
Comment from : Neville Nicol

My Yamaha Fg830 Is damn good, I love it! Going to get the sunburst one too or maybe an FS830
Comment from : Neville Nicol

Great rundown, I’ve played a couple of these, and that Fender is truly a decent guitar I play various Fender Sonoran style guitars, with the Strat headstocks, just because I like them and the sound is pretty good for the price
Comment from : Hunter Scott

What about Mitchell
Comment from : Carter Kopacki

I let my friend who plays the guitar know I wanted to learn the instrument and she said I had to buy a bnew Taylor/b if I wanted to take it seriously In doing my own research I’m happy to learn about the 12! I think that it might be my very first guitar for sure once I’ve saved up! Though they’re $700+ everywhere I’ve checked 😢😅🤩
Comment from : crass

great great video! Thank you!!!
Comment from : Denmar Chambers

The Taylor is $700
Comment from : Reactiverse

The correct pronunciation for "Ibanez" is br i - BAN - yez
Comment from : Wayne LeRoy

That yamaha fg830 definitely sounds the best 👌
Comment from : ShoeMonster EDC

I watched this video bought an sj200 and I am returning my 2nd one as of today
Comment from : JOSH SAMDAL

1) 3:38 br2) 6:40
Comment from : Mark Jameson

It’s overwhelming how much better the Yamaha fg 830 sounds compared to the others
Comment from : Robert Schultz

Ive got an Ibanez acoustic as my first guitar, and I’m thinking of getting something that suits me a little bit more now that I know what I’m doing My mind is kinda already set on that FG830 after playing it in the store, but I have played a Mitchell acoustic that felt really warm and smooth sounding I can’t remember the model but it was like $300- something
Comment from : VxM o

Now we need a revised version for this year
Comment from : Tangerine

I've the Epiphone SJ200 no cutaway, 1980's Yamaha FG450 (my sentimental favourite) & Gretsch Gin Rickey I like them all for different reasons, they're good value well made guitars for the money I've also have the Sigma DM ST it is by a long, long way the best sub $500 / $352 AUD acoustic guitar I have ever owned or played The SJ200 only gets a run occasionally & the Yamaha FG 450 & Gretsch don't get played very much at all since I brought the Sigma I can't heap enough praise on the Sigma DM ST when its got newish strings on it
Comment from : 🙊 no name

How about China made guitars ahaha
Comment from : Geoff Worsnop

Miss my fender CD 60 somehow
Comment from : Moth

I think Dean guitars Sound great For 4-5 hundred
Comment from : Bigfoot270

Very helpful, thank you
Comment from : Wild Western Medicine

Bought a lefty sx about 16 years ago for about 250e and it's my baby Wouldn't trade it for another guitar so it's all about feel and how it sits with you imo

Comment from : Brandon Carter

Comment from : luisdawiz

What song is he playing on the Taylor?
Comment from : jayntguru

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, but it would be better for us to listen to the same song to compare the sound of each guitar ;- )
Comment from : Geneviève Lampron

Thanks! Enjoyed this video!!br Sold all my guitars and haven't played in over 10 years and trying to get back into it
Comment from : Bill Mccollum

I really appreciate your videos - as a lefty, with a rather thin wallet, I have to weigh my options meticulously, and your videos have been the biggest help - especially not being able to find and play the instruments myself (curse the left handed gods)
Comment from : Peter Pursley

I wish I could jam with this dudehis wrythym work is compatibleno homoi could twang out with the MF thang out on a Yamaha good content
Comment from : brant barker

Comment from : Ricardo Sánchez Alférez

Jesus Christ loves you bros
Comment from : Ben

That Epiphone looks so nice
Comment from : BigGoose

Alvarez has a lot of great acoustic products around $500 too, I’m surprised you didn’t showcase one on this list All of these guitars sounded great though and you did a great job bringing out the sounds
Comment from : Scot Stephenson

Epiphone sounded the best for sure
Comment from : Scot Stephenson

just found the guitar i want thank you so much
Comment from : Sync

Comment from : 1st Guitar Center

Is Fender cc140sce an intermediate guitar?
Comment from : Michal Zaw

Video Valid only in USA in Latinoamerican is very expensive
Comment from : Renzo

What do you think about takamine gd93 natural? Thanks
Comment from : miroslav zifčiak

I just bought a used fs700s Sounds great and it was only 150$!!
Comment from : Alan Niederlitz

in my opinion the yamaha 830, has the best sound on those five, I like the sound
Comment from : luilui03able

Do you have reviews on takamine guitars?
Comment from : Myoozik Sensation

The Taylor and the Yamaha sounded great
Comment from : Shughy

I wish the model numbers and differences were discussed, do they mean anything? br820, 830 ??? now I have to google it
Comment from : buzzscb

Excellent video 🙂 Thanks!
Comment from : Cliff Smith

I was so lost at trying to figure out which guitar to buy after having played on a secondhand classic nylon string guitar for a few years just for a little bit of fun and not really being a huge connoisseur of the topic (and having a low budget) Your videos helped me pick Fender cd140sce (in Mahogany) Let me tell you, SHE IS GLORIOUS! Thank you, guys!
Comment from : Alina Sorochan Cruz

Whenever I walk into the acoustic room at guitar center, I go to the Fender Hellcat I fingerpick, and for 26000 it is a steal
Comment from : Mark Estes

They're a brand new company but I have to add Orangewood to this list Mine was only $275 and has the best setup I've ever received from a factory Very close to feeling like an electric guitar
Comment from : Aniquin Stark

Chris Mckee any relation to Andy Mckee?
Comment from : Tyler Chase Business

I think you should have definitely included the Takamine GD51CE Great value imo
Comment from : Mr B

Fantastic playing Chris!
Comment from : Paul V

great video but you have to play it connected in line too so we can hear the electric sound
Comment from : CACIQUE HGC

Takamine lower end guitars are fantastic !
Comment from : gerald hills

You sale acoustic electric guitar?
Comment from : Jimlucioviana JL

Do not say YAmaha please it’s terrible to hear Correct- YamAha! God bless
Comment from : Max Monaco

Hey Chris, what do you think of Epiphone FT-100?
Comment from : UMBUBA

What about the gretsch rancher? Is it and good?
Comment from : tony Osirideain

I wish there would have been a little picking AND a little fingerstyle on EACH for straight comparisons Thanks!
Comment from : Chris Schlievert

New to this channel I want to get back into playing and looking for an acoustic for around $500 So, it led me here This was a huge help Thank you

Comment from : Taro

Very informative
Comment from : Paul Jerome

What about the Seagull S6?
Comment from : DDA

Looks like you are doing this in your newer videos but it helps a lot to keep the same style or riff consistent when doing a comparison, you had strumming against fingerpicking here and it was hard to compare That said I think the Yamaha and Taylors are the clear standouts I wouldn't recommend Epi, Fender, or Ibanez acoustics to anyone
Comment from : Christopher

Fg830 no1
Comment from : HUQQA BAAZ

Ehh btw turning is the most important thing can you get the thing to tune up and as you play higher on the neck is it staying in tune You must adjust the truss rod a little But if you ain't in tune nothing sounds good also conditions vary too cold too hot cus sunshine the too much bending while playing It takes time just to get the tuning to all align but once you do everything you play sounds great to the listener
Comment from : Specules Gorgoth

I found something as good as seagul or Martin It's dean Markley sanande advb $300 guitar center Hard to play but if you have strong hands it sounds AMAZING Figured I'd tell you all not all seagul sound great but some sound as good as the best martin for half the price
Comment from : Specules Gorgoth

I think Taylor followed by Yamaha But in the vintage category Yamaha is the killer brand
Comment from : ScareDe2

Good stuff Chris, thank you for sharing brother
Comment from : ritesideofthefence 58

best sound in my opinion is Yamaha
Comment from : Emiliano C

What do you guys think of the Guild D240e?
Comment from : Kjeld Schols

Does the fg830 sound a lot better than the fg800?
Comment from : Robert Ryan Mason

Hi I just bought the fender CD-60s I was wondering if the yahama is much better for the extra $100 or so? Will I notice the difference ?
