Appreciate the quality of the presentation. Each facet of playing is well presented and styles. Short clips to the point. Well done, and makes me appreciate the LL series from Yamaha from the 6 to 56.
The wood on the LL56 is probably older. The sound seems to have broken in or opened up. Hence, sweeter and more mellow. If this FG9 has been played a lot more or gets older, it might produce just as good. Even as of now, it's a great-sounding guitar.
@@virgilesp3954 I own an FG9M and an LL36. If I could do it again, I would absolutely buy both again - they are my two best guitars. They are both loud and responsive. I think the LL36 is more lush and colorful, as I believe this video demonstrates. I also think the LL36 prefers a lighter right hand than my FG9. Sometimes I feel like the sound gets a bit loose when I'm really hammering on it - probably due to the Engelmann spruce. Don't let that scare you. When you keep it within its "operating range" it will reward you. Hope this helps!
