This is my dream "one day" guitar 100%

@mjolnircarlssen4211 6 месяцев назад

Yamaha acoustic guitars are a great value and of excellent quality at all price points. Their higher-end guitars are on par with instruments such as Yairi, and boutique builds. These are serious instruments for serious musicians.

For sure. I think some will frown at the because it is a Yamaha. This guitar is a masterpiece.

@charlierussell7887 Месяц назад

Emile, that was a very pleasant and helpful demonstration of this flagship of a guitar. My good old FGX830C is listening on in awe!

Unbelievable tone, truly, in my personal opinion, the greatest sounding guitar I have ever heard. So after this review I dropped the $ and have me one of these, now I just need to learn how to play it. Would love to have this guy teach me. Amazing, just amazing.

The sustain on this guitar is incredible even though my phone.

I purchased my first Yamaha guitar in 1972, it was a great guitar, for taking it to the beach or a party. I loved that guitar, it was perfect for what I wanted it for. I would not feel too bad if it got stolen or damaged. It was neither of both, just a trusty instrument. Now the FG9 is another story, like you said it has great intonation, it surely has great resonance. I would like to try one, someday. Thanks for the great review. with that I'm gone.

Brilliant presentation of this finest japanese stuff.

What a lovely sound.

Simple precise elegance is a way to describe the design.

I have an FG830 and LL6M ARE. I am sold on Yamaha Guitars. There is just something about a Yamaha. That being said, the FG9 is in a class all its own.

Most dealers are willing to part with the FG9R for 3300 dollars. Priced well for the quality you get. I'm happy with my FG5. However, I think if I was to spend 4000 dollars, the Gibson Dove still my dream guitar. But this Yamaha FG9R is on the list, along with a Gibson Hummingbird, and a Martin D35. The FG9R is amazing to include it as equals to the guitars I mentioned

This limited-edition beauty feels like a bespoke guitar, and it truly shines whether flatpicked or fingerpicked. Read the full review here: acousticguitar.com/review-yamaha-fg9/

I love my Yamaha DD16L...the sound is pure and distinctive...and im interested in this as well

@chrisforbes 5 месяцев назад

From everything I’ve watched and read, this model seems super loud, like the Martin Authentic 1937 model. Amazing, and for a great price

You must check out Randall Selinger's take on the "Authentic".

@ramspencer5492 Месяц назад

Wow.... So much better than a factory Martin

@davidboyd1745 Месяц назад

Love the tone and that of Bourgeois guitars, too. Will not buy a bolt on. That's just me.

Japanese have the mindset to do something great. Even a cheap yamaha can't be qualified as shit. I had a 300$ one. Not the best I had cause now i have guitars costing 10 times that price. But they are 10 times better. And That high and Yam is just terrific.Yamaha doesn't let you waste your money. Sure value for the price, always.

@kevinreynolds6792 5 месяцев назад

Great video, but a true, balanced representation of the tone wound be NOT playing so close to the bridge all the time, or most of the time. Great playing though….😊

@emenasche 5 месяцев назад

Excellent point Kevin. I'll keep that in mind for future demos.

@LK-oi6bq 6 месяцев назад

Very nice guitar. However. I don't know if it's the room or equipment, but it sounds sort of thin to me. That is in comparison to my D-18GE.

@MelodyMaker 5 месяцев назад

Surprised he didn't target one or two microphones at the sound hole to help you out.

@kevinreynolds6792 5 месяцев назад

I’d say that’s because it’s being picked and strummed next to the bridge…..way back, much further back than I play personally…..gives a much harder and pronounced treble tone Makes a massive difference,

@cugir321 3 месяца назад

Top of the line flat top??? How about the LL-56!

@haydendixon2089 6 месяцев назад

Give that guitar a good work out! 🤨

@chutgowdingo-loon3212 4 месяца назад

Your overall recording volume is extremely low. perhaps consider increasing it a tad.

@catnapgee5357 Месяц назад

fantastic guitar, but my FG820 sounds better for a 15th the cost

@chiefkikyerass7188 6 месяцев назад

Ugghh..that guitar is 4k dollars..im out

@pooner61 6 месяцев назад

That is a lot of money, especially for a Yamaha! They must be pretty confident in the build quality to slap a price of 4k on it

@normanhasler340 6 месяцев назад

@@pooner61 Yamaha builds them in Hamamatsu Japan. In the same little workshop, where the LL26 and above comes from. That means, they are made by a little group of master luthiers, supervised by a, i will call him a grand master luthier / senior master luthier, in a very tiny batch each year. So the ordering each year is very limited. In my oppinion, comparing the guitars by the craftmanship and built quality, you have to go on the level of martin custom, boucher guitars, collings or huss and dultons. So the pricing becomes very reasonable..

The worst customer service out their for a guitar company! Used to be the best....Got off the phone with them today....their website says you can order parts via the phone. Their CS reps say you can't and are rude....one was complaining how he was pissed about not getting paid much money and having to listen to complaints. Hey dufus, that's your job to deal with customer complaints! I have 4 yamaha's....never another!

The film is clipped out right as he’s about to say what the back and sides are made of and whether they are solid, layered or laminated. Would have liked to have heard that part, as it is now this video is useless so not watching any more of it.
