Yamaha has really become the sleeper guitar brand. So much less expensive but they're knocking it out of the park with the sounds! That Yamaha sounds SO GOOD. Yamaha are underrated and Taylor are overrated, in my opinion.

@normancole3415 2 года назад

yahama makes a darn good line of guitars for the price from their lowest to top of the line all are pretty good

Yamaha iMO certainly offers the best bang for buck. Taylor 214CE QS is currently £1350 with I believe laminate Sapele back and sides. Yamaha APX1200II is £1250, has solid front and solid rosewood back and sides. Acoustically there's probably not much in it. Both good mids and highs. The Yamaha excels plugged in. I think it's visually much more appealing too with beautiful inlays. In the sub £2000 category Yamaha for me is by far the best option.

No, Taylors are great for playability

@jeromeleoterry 2 года назад

I have both a Taylor 324CE and a Yamaha LL16. The Taylor is nearly 3x the price of the Yamaha, but I actually prefer the Yamaha. Could be because my tastes have changed, and prefer the fuller range of the Yamaha, due to a spruce top / rosewood back and sides, as opposed to the Taylor with a mahogany top / Tasmanian blackwood back and sides. The ES2 Pickup system in the Taylor takes a bunch of work to get a nice tone, and I'm not really sure I like it all that much. The Yamaha pickup system isn't anything spectacular, but is more pleasing to my ears without having to make any EQ changes. Having my time back, I would have saved my money and just bought the Yamaha. Both are nice guitars, but I just really dig the Yamaha over the Taylor.

A simple online search will show you that Taylor's are notorious for cracking. They sound great, but I don't want to invest money and time in something that destined to break. Yamaha's on the other hand are built to last, sound great, look great and can rival any Taylor for a fraction of the price.

The newer ones don’t even compare any longer and they’ve gotten WAAAAAY overpriced anyhow! Just bought and ordered a Yamaha FGX5 yesterday after trying one last year! Incredible frikkin guitar. I’d love to be able to afford to get the smaller folk version as well. Every guitar player in my family has owned a Yamaha or two so I know they are great little guitars for their price points but these new FG’s they’re building in Japan these days are on an entirely different level altogether! Blow any Martin or Taylor I’ve ever owned outta the water! They’re cannons! ❤

@metoo9644 2 года назад

Yamaha guitars at that price point sound as good as those expensive brands. Unfortunately, guitar players shop for a brand not not always what sounds best. I am drawn by taylors, martins as much as the other guys, BUT anytime i go at music store and player a few guitars, I end up spending most of the time there on the Yamaha. I own lower end yamaha APX700ii which less the a thousand canadian. Quality, sound amazes me…

The electronics aren't great. I'm fact, they're pretty bad in my experience. The unplugged sounds are generally very good, and with proper electronics, they'll compete with any brand. Where Taylors accel is that they're playability is nearly unmatched in the large brands.

I have a Yamaha A3R that is my number one acoustic guitar. Solid rosewood back and sides, solid spruce top, ebony fingerboard. I love it. I played a Yamaha and Taylor back to back at the store, and even did a blindfold test (inspiration from chappers and the captain) and actually found I preferred the the Yamaha's sound and the way it played, against a Taylor that was 3 times the price.

@TheRycooder 2 года назад

completely agree. Hate to be so general but Yamaha imho kills Taylors and to me they're very over-rated. Many other acoustics out there that are much better. I have a Blueridge 160A that kills almost every Taylor I've played.

@Gman44044 Год назад

I have ordered A3R, waiting to receive it eagerly

@LoftyAssertions Год назад

Same here, blindfold test too! Except I went with the FGX3. The pickup and mic mix is also unbelievably real sounding, I've tricked guitarists into thinking it was a condenser recording by boosting the highs on 50% mic, there's just a high noise floor. My favourite guitar of all time and it was $1000 compared to my $7500 k24ce. It's so good I'm looking at getting the FSX3 too, or the AC3M. Yamaha are incredibly underrated!

@gregorykapanowski9540 Год назад

I agree I played every acoustic in the guitar center. The Yamaha beat the top-of-the-line Taylor in my opinion. The Taylor's were too bright and flat. The Yamaha had such a organic perfectly balanced tone. More warm than bright but each string and note rings clear.

@easilyoffended7772 11 месяцев назад

JP Cormier recommended the Yamaha FG5 , and I bought one. It sounds better than any Taylor I ever played. Listen to this one, it is thin and Treble heavy, no bottom or balance at all. There was a shop full of Taylors In my town , I played them all, they were all thin sounding. My FG5 is beautiful and balanced. Every type of music sounds good on the Yamaha.

@stephenmeeker2489 4 месяца назад

Same, same. Yamaha is a dovetail neck with scullpted X-bracing. Sonic projection is full, rich, and clear. Tone is more like a Martin than a Taylor. Had many Taylor's but the FX5 Dreadnought is now my favorite. Comparable to guitars at at least twice the price. Sweet.

@dionst.michael1482 Месяц назад

JP turned me onto these guitars too. Everyone who plays guitar in my family has owned a Yamaha at some stage in their musical journey, including my father who played/gigged with a late 60’s, red label, FG180 for 40 yrs before the fretboard was simply too pitted to play any longer. I still have the guitar for a keepsake. He passed away just this past Xmas, may he RIP. When I saw the new FG5 it literally brought tears to my eyes and then I got a rare opportunity to play/hear one in person last year. And that’s when I realized…I HAD to have one of these guitars. Well, it took a year of saving and to find another one available a short 3.5hrs away (lol) and I finally pulled the trigger just yesterday! I can’t frikkin wait for it to arrive

I love the early Taylors, but my take is that you get much more bang for the buck with a higher end Yamaha. And that goes double for the TA (transacoustic) models with built in chorus and reverb. These effects are not electronically amplified, although there is a battery on board, but the "electronics" simply enhance the natural vibration of the top.

@asterisk606 2 года назад

Not sure if it was just the guitar itself, or mainly the difference in pickup positions, or both, but that Taylor sounded amazing plugged in. I've been pretty blind to the acoustic world apparently because Taylor has been making guitars with that system since 2014. That's news to me and I never knew it existed but it's really cool. If the under saddle pickup never caught on leading to the "classic" electro acoustic chime sound, the ES2 would have been the standard for sure if they were invented at the same time.

@EzyoMusic Месяц назад

It is an amazing pickup system, I might even slightly prefer its tone to that of the K&K Pure Mini, which would be my default choice otherwise.

@mjolnircarlssen4211 2 года назад

They’re different creatures. I have a Taylor, Martin, and high-end Yamaha. They all have different strengths. Fit and finish, all are a horse apiece. All very meticulously made with quality woods and components. Taylor and Yamaha have Ebony fretboard, and the Martin Richlite…..all of which feel really good. All 3 have quality preamps (ES2, Fishman, Atmosfeel). They all sound great plugged in. They’re all very even, but the Taylor is a little bit thinner with a brighter, higher end. The Martin is the “chunkiest”, and the Yamaha is as close to perfectly balanced of the three. All are comfortable, extremely playable, and the neck on the Martin being the beefiest. Overall, for me to rate them: 1) Yamaha 2) Martin 3) Taylor Any of the 3 are a solid investment, but in my opinion based on overall build quality and sound, this reflects my personal opinion.

I'm sure the plugged-in sound is better than it is on this video. The Taylor has the great ES2. That pickup gets some stick but for me it's a winner. My Taylor is a keeper and I do sometimes covet a Gibson, but you just can't go wrong with a Yamaha.

I have not played tons of Yamahas, but I own an FGX830C (my first & only guitar). I don't dislike it, but I loved the contoured, ergonomic feel of the Taylor 114CE, the action, and richer tone. It just screams 'YES', to me. Taylors are definitely overpriced, but they can obviously command that price & still remain in business, so the demand for Taylor has always been there. I've yet to fall in love with a Martin.

@cugir321 6 месяцев назад

I have a FS800 that has the best neck I've seen in 20 years....can play it tuned down a whole step with no relief....maybe .002. Essentially zero. Sound is just average unplugged. (Medium strings). Sound is great with a magnetic pickup. a monster playing fast leads. Tuned standard it can be capo'd anywhere without buzz. That's the only problem I've seen with Chinese made Yamaha's....the neck or fingerboard can be a bit off. Can usually be fixed but is the pain in an ass with cheap yammy's. I refret so isn't a big issue for me. I use stainless frets on my refrets...and a zero fret setup with a zero glide nut. It's rare I see a Martin or taylor I really like. They are over rated over priced. Japanese made Yammy's are more consistent then either.

But the Taylor (IMO) wins due to unplugged sound and playability. One thing to note about Taylor is the bolt on neck. A full reset costs about $30c compared to maybe $200 for a glue on neck. I also have a 40 year old Solid top Yamaha dread that is absolutely fantastic.

Do you still like the Taylor 214 more than the Yamaha? I have a Yamaha AC3R, and am considering switching to a Taylor 214CE.

Of the hardwood tops, I probably like mahogany the least, but I can't deny that 326ce has a really cool tone; it has a deep growl to it. Both guitars sound great though, both are very different.

Che belle sedie, veramente comode. I miei genitori avevano un paio e quando ti sedevi uh ti sentivi subito meglio. Per suonare seduti un gran complemento.

That Taylor just sounds really pretty 😍

I recently bought a Yamaha FG 850.. all mohagany top, back and sides. It's tone and projection are far superior to a Taylor I owned that cost 4 times as much.. I did like the Taylor pickup system. But the price to quality ratio is undeniable..

Not a fair comparison

@RichardCKale 4 месяца назад

I have an AC3R, and the A5R. Both are outstanding! The A5R might be the best playing guitar I've owned, and at $1600, there's no comparison! I, like a lot of you, played a dozen or so high end Gibson's, Martin's, and Taylor's, before trying the Yamaha. The tone, voice, and electronics, at the price point of the Yamaha, was really a no brainer. So far, they have held their value too, which will be the slam dunk if it holds!

I prefer Yamaha LL36 and I also have a 1993 Yamaha LL23 and am looking at getting a Yamaha FGX5 Red Label and won't need anything more ever. I also have a Taylor 214 CE Koa back and sides which is the most beautiful guitar Ive ever seen and sounds amazing.
