Yamaha creates amazing products. From pianos and trumpets to engines and motorcycles, the three tuning fork logo has graced numerous products that bring joy. Yamaha is not often equated with high-end guitars, but that seems to be changing-- the new FS9 models are proof.. As a follow up to the popular FG9 Japanese made guitars, Yamaha has launched new smaller body models with with Rosewood or Mahogany back and sides. Like the FG9 models that preceded them these new FS9 guitars offer near perfection in craftsmanship and are a joy to play and hear. This isn't hyperbole - see for yourself.

I am a huge fan of Yamaha Guitars. I have three Yamaha guitars and my FG830 , LL6M A.R.E. and LS6 literally blow me away.

@carosel43 6 дней назад

I am turning into a Yamaha fanboy myself with both a humbucker and P90 standard revstar, an LJ16 and a Storia III. They are all fantastic in their own way but for the money the storia is utterly brilliant. Its slightly shorter scale makes things much easier for someone of my meagre skill!

I just took one of my Yamaha dreads to my local luthier for a refret, and he said the same thing Chris did. Yamaha is a great company that makes a variety of excellent products. I've played many gigs with Yamaha guitars, and I love them because they are reliable workhorses that are able to handle the humid summers and dry winters of northern Michigan.

@johnwashburn3793 8 дней назад

My only question is: humid summers in northern Michigan? This is where we go to escape the humidity. We just returned from a week in Florida. Inside humidity was 70%. Rock on!

@@johnwashburn3793 Good to hear from another Michigander. I live in Rogers City, one block from Lake Huron. Bear in mind that in warmer areas like Florida indoor humidity is reduced because people air condition their homes, but I only run my a/c once or twice a year. The nice thing is that our temps are usually not too high, so even when the relative humidity is high, it doesn't feel oppressive. EDIT: It is 10:30, pm windows are open, and indoor humidity is 64% It was probably higher earlier today because it rained for a little while.

@johnwashburn3793 7 дней назад

@@WoodworkerDan I actually live in KCMO but we visit up north in the summer to avoid the heat. I have probably not considered the relative humidity. Last week I took an acoustic guitar to Florida and a hygrometer. It registered in middle forties when I opened the case and was into the 70s in a few hours. The air conditioner was set at 75° (we bumped it to 78° because it felt cold. We keep 75° at home.) The guitar is fine. My home is showing 43% at the moment and my guitar room is down to 40%humidity. I will adjust my dehumidifier in a bit. Enjoy your summer and music.

@jmsamborski 7 дней назад

I have the FG9M. Initially I thought the FS9R would be my next guitar when it launched… but the longer I’ve had the FG9, I see no reason to get an FS. The FG9 is so well balanced with such an incredible dynamic range, it covers any style of play. Unless you are someone who prefers a smaller body for comfort/size, I’d recommend getting the FG9 instead because it does it all.

@timothymills733 8 дней назад

Yamaha pianos are not just "good" they are world class concert instruments. Yamaha has been building concert level classical guitars, played by some of the best players in the world for decades. Why people have this lower expectation about them is more to do with the folklore around companies like Martin or Gibson, which is wrapped up in the fact that our guitar heroes played them. Martin, Gibson, and Taylor acoustics are all factory made guitars, just like Yamaha. The real question should be, why would people expect better quality from a guitar made in an American factory over one in a Japanese factory, they wouldn't if we were talking cars, or electronics 🙂

@skateborg 8 дней назад

I got an all solid wood Yamaha LL16 Dreadnought three weeks ago. Best $800 I've ever spent on a new guitar. Sounds amazing and plays incredibly well. Yamaha craftsmanship and QC is top shelf. There is not one finish flaw or buzzy fret or funky tuner or any issues I can find on this lovely guitar. Came with a very nice Yamaha soft case that has backpack straps. Shout out to Guitar Solo in San Francisco. 💜💛🖤

@dg111fu 7 дней назад

It's funny how now people are jumping on the yamaha fan wagon now that they've added a new $4k+ guitar. Their $800 LL16 is much better than most $4k martain, gibson, and taylor guitars. Price does not always correlate to quality, especially with yamaha. Check your cognitive bias and you'll get some great stuff.

@Tee-mq2zn 8 дней назад

Great video guys! I've become a recent convert to Yamaha guitars and bought an LL16D in black last year. This is now opening up very nicely and is becoming a great dreadnaught that I doubt I'll upgrade from any time soon. I also very luckily bought a used LL36 last month from a guitar shop over here in the UK that had taken it in px. This is an entirely hand-made guitar in the Yamaha factory in Japan and is built using first-class woods. It plays impeccably and sounds fabulous, however being a modified dread shape it's very powerful if needed but can play very softly when required. That said, now you've demoed the FS9's I"m going to have get one of those too! Cheers!

@seanhallahan14 7 дней назад

Great to see something not Taylor or Martin. Love you guys, totally honor what you do, grateful in the extreme for it, just wished your were a lot more diverse. Kudu's, you did do Y's FSs proud. Thank you. I think eventually, to acoustic guitar aficionados' horror, high quality makers will be incorporating inner metal bridge plates, or composite bridge plates, and metal and/or composite connections (rather than wood) from the saddle/bridge to that inner bridge plate. I've experimented with such, it sounds great, particularly on upgrading lessor expensive guitars. It provides a HUGE energy transfer from the strings to the soundboard. So much so that one can feel it in the vibration of the neck with one's left hand.

@redson425 7 дней назад

One of the most (if not the most) underrated guitar brands. Their high end Japan made guitars are quite exceptional. Didn't James Taylor use one on his first album with Fire and Rain, Going to Carolina Etc?

@shaneroberts9466 8 дней назад

I had an FS and LS, and still have a CS, SLG and FSX5. Love Yamaha acoustic guitars. Without question a great bang for the buck.

@cugir321 7 дней назад

Why did you get rid of the FS and LS?....I have a FS...got rid of a LS....the LS6 was made terrible. The fingerboard was not level and the frets didn't look leveled at all at the factory. (Bought it and returned it before the 45 days for a refund) The FS has the best neck I've seen on a guitar in 25 years (187.00 plus tax)....had to level 1 fret....can tune down a whole step without changing anything....leave it a 1/2 step down all the time. The Low E string doesn't ring great on the FS800. It's okay...have had that problem before with a FG710-s....When I refretted it it corrected the problem. I'll do the FS with stainless when the frets wear a bit. Yamaha frets are terrible for wear especially if you capo a lot. My LL16 had a terrible hump at the 14th fret....had to refret it to level the fingerboard out (I did the refret myself so it was worth it)....I did that because it's a monster sound wise. Otherwise would have returned it to GC. Nobody should believe anyone who says all yamaha's are fabulous! Even people like JP Comier. He raved on the LL16's. They can be magnificent. But not always. They're chinese made!

Great presentation again, fellas. Shout out to Cooper for using fingerstylye, flatpicking and chordal shapes to showcase these guitars. I remember Yamaha back in the 70s when they opened manufacturing in Taiwan then elsewhere in SE Asia and were known as a reputable builder of factory guitars. Then their earlier Japan models became collectible (thanks to the likes of Elliot Smith) and it's nice to see that their new Japan 'handmade' guitars are getting the attention they deserve.

@pepmasters-999 6 дней назад

I have a Yamaha C2 piano, made in Japan, and can attest to the beauty of the engineering -- you can try to flip the keyboard cover shut and it will slowly and smoothly lower itself into place via some cleverly-made, hidden mechanism . On the guitar front, I have am LJ26. Not nitro like these, but Japanese made and it has the most fantastically smooth and comfortable neck, boomy sound, sustain for days. Small tendency to some fret buzz though.

@Monsoon1030 8 дней назад

Great guitars! Even after a few years and many other guitars after them, I am still always reaching for my AC5M and Revstar. My buddies are always asking to play them as well, except the ones who bought a Yamaha of their own. Careful, if you play with friends…Yamahas tend to multiply.

The rosewood has more bass....deeper sounds. I'd guess you can depend on top line craftsmanship from Japan....the Chinese L series guitars can be flawed at times (I have a LL16)...even if they sound good. Neck and fret problems...Sometimes they're great. Lots on of tension in the neck of the L series instruments if it's a loud rich one...I've played a lot of them and the best sounding ones are usually harder to play. Even with a 2mm action.....is the FS9 easier to play? I have 5 yamaha's.

Did you mean to say "way over priced"? If so, why? My recently purchased Martin 000-28 was $3400 and these FS9s appear to have better craftmanship and they sound great. I like the Yamaha's understated appointments. I was planning my next purchase to be a Gibson Southern Jumbo . . . I'm seriously thinking about switching to the FS9M because the 000-28 already fills my 000 body rosewood needs and I probably don't need another dreadnaught at this time.
