Midwestern Jesus and Rick from PawnStars just schooled me on some great recommendations.

I think it’s time for me to go to the next entry level from the poc! $40 guitar to the Taylor GS mini, I just got in love with it!!!!!! thank you guys 🤟🏼

I've enjoyed watching your review videos, and I just ordered the Martin DJR10 Sapele from you guys! Looking forward to its arrival!

I think the Yamaha trumped against the other guitars here. The sound attack is really clear and woody especially on the thicker strings.

If I were in the market for a new acoustic travel guitar, I would absolutely grab that Martin Jr. The sound of that shocked me. I was not expecting it to sound that great! 🐰❤️🎸🎵🤝✌️

I love the Chris/Cooper combo

Most helpful videos I’ve seen in a long time thanks again guy! I’ll be buying from you very shortly ;)

Awesome job guys. Thanks

Thx for the video guys!!

Great advice there Cooper at the end of the video.. In fact great job both of you.

Love the way the Taylors sound.

Thanks for playing through each of these Cooper. Listening through headphones, I liked the Martin 000c Jr, Fender, Taylor A12, Yamaha, Taylor GS Mini, and Ibanez. The Fender really surprised me. Another might be the PRS SE P20E, all wood mahogany with electronics. Just FYI.

Ahh....tasteful demo melody CG. Grateful for well built affordable guitars. Yamaha has indeed "knocked it out of the park" with FS/FG!

Love knowing that Chris, like myself, was a euphonium player as well. Gotta rep low brass

thanks! it helped me choose… great job.

They all sound great!

Nice to see a fellow euphonium -> guitar player. A man of good taste, for sure B)

I like that Cooper brought up about changing the strings. I wouldn't have known that as a first time guitar buyer.

Great Video. Cooper you’re coming alive 👍 Chris as Good as ever 🖖🏻

Great video guys. Small request for future ones, can you also show the bags in future videos for the guitars that come with them?

Hello guys! I watched your video for the first time and loved it! I liked it so much I read ALL the comments as well, in case I wanted to comment. Im thinkiing about buying an Epiphone SG Special. Just thought Id mention it. Thanks for taking the time to do these video's for us.

This video is perfect!!

Love your videos. I hope if one day you guys will do a Yamaha L series video ll/ls 16, 26, 36, 56 all the hand made guitars comparison.

As an old high school band Euphonium player, I didn't need to Google that! LOL! In fact, I still have one. Gotta keep the lips in shape. Great video!

These are all great choices. I just picked up the Martin D-X2E for $599. Solid top acoustic electric with a really nice gig bag. Sounds heavenly. I just want to play it all the time. I’d throw that and the Taylor Big Baby for $499 in there as more options in 2021.

Normally with these videos that compare multiple guitars Im focused entirely on the sound of each guitar to determine how they differ and which I feel sounds best to me.....in this case I got lost in Cooper's great playing and had to watch it a 2nd time to find the guitar tone favorites!

Thank you guys! very informative / im gonna get that Taylor rosewood☺

Picked up a fg800 and it is phenomenal for the value. Really a joy to play everyday. I think I’ll have to pick up the fsx800.

Nice video. The Yamaha acoustic guitars are a nice bang for the buck. I own an FG830 and it is really starting to open up.

I went shopping for a small, good quality guitar for my daughter the other day. The little Martin and the GS mini were nice but had compromises on the sound. We ended up with an all solid Yamaha CSF3M in sunburst. Best bang for the buck in my humble opinion.

I love the academy series. They have the signature Taylor sound but for that price is crazy!!

I got a Chris McKee signature Taylor for Christmas (minus the signature so far). Great Taylor.

The Yamaha and the Martin sound great. While not the same, I've had a Martin Dreadnought Jr.e. for just over two years and it is an excellent guitar; it sounds good, is versatile and very comfortable.

Well that Yamaha just blew me away

I just picked up a Yamaha fs830 TS and absolutely love it, sounds great, looks great and was less than $300

Wow I didn't expect Yamaha sounding that good. I like the Taylor too.

Hi Chris..great video as always, especially for holiday gift considerations. Quick question re the Ibanez...how would you rate the plugged in sound to Taylor's ES2 system?

Cooper's playing is phenomenal

I'm very late to the party, but thanks for an excellent, fun comparison video. I wasn't even aware of the Martin 000cjr-10. I love that it has a 1.75" neck combined with all solid wood! I won't buy a Taylor because the more affordable ones all have the narrow nut width, and I just won't pay the price they want for a Taylor with a 1.75" width.

Those Yamaha FSX-830 guitars are a great beginner guitar, good neck.

Just recently I bought the Yamaha FSX800C in Natural and man, its serious guitar for the money. I had to get the action lowered a little bit but out of the box factory setup strings and sound is exceptional. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable guitar. Pickups are also great plugged-in.

Thank you!

Put silk & steel strings on a GS Mini Koa as Andy Powers suggested; they sound REALLY great. Got one for grandkids and another as well.

I REALLY like the sound of the Yamaha, for a lovely rich tone where some of the others can sound flat. I'd definitely try out a Yammy before other makes.

I have an Ibanez AE30 from 1980 and it never has had a buzz or anything and still beautiful. Purple burst w gold hardware and lots of abalone

What a nice and helpful video! As a long time Taylor fan, my favourite out of these was, surprisingly, the Martin. Such a lovely tone and yes, you do hear the difference. Overall you really can’t go wrong with any of these, though. This video just added two more guitars to my wish list ...thanks Chris & Cooper!

I have the Yamaha FSX800C and when I initially went to the store to try it I kept playing it... and playing it...fell in love with it... took it home! I was looking for an acoustic electric with a cutaway to add to my toolbox of guitars and it fit the bill perfectly. What you get for the money is really remarkable!!

yamaha and the gs mini kicked asssssss

Taylor should add the beveled arm rest to all GT models. I believe that would add a ton of value to a guitar which seems to have landed soft with guitarists for its size and price.

My favorite is the GS mini. I have one and love it!

Hey what are the vintage strings on the Martin ooocjr-10? thanks! Loved the video

I have the Fender GC 140 which I bought second hand from someone who also liked travel guitars. I like the sound of the Ibanez but have heard that the strings sit higher over the frets. Yamaha is always one of my favorites in terms of value and sound quality so if I were buying brand new, the FSX 800 or the Martin 000J which is all wood and sounds great!

Ibanez looks the coolest Yamaha sounds the best but really each was great with a great player.the neck shape body shape strings string height all make a difference we have to come in person to see and feel though.

The Yamaha sounds sweet.

Thank you

Cooper's comment about strings was interesting. I'd love to see a video where you guys take the same guitar and play with 5 or 6 different sets of strings to compare the sound.

great thank you which is the mike you use to record these beauties ? Thanks a lot

Have you ever heard of michael kelly guitars? Got one a few years back, amazing!!! But I mainly stick with my Taylor

I'm glad i have the Fender CD140 sce. upgraded to bone nut and saddle and Brass bridge pins. this things Plays like Butter I don't want a 5000$ guitar. Fender CD140sce does Pretty good Job 😳

Loving the melody being played - can't work out which I prefer of the Fender and the Taylor A12 Does anyone know what the melody is - can't get it out of my head :-)

I wish I could together the vintage tint in the FGX800C

What do you think about the f 310 that's all I can get in Mexico on Amazon ?

My ex used to have a GS Mini, which basically meant that i had one because she bearly played. Now that we broke up i really miss her.. by that I mean the guitar of course. I think i’m going to buy one for myself now..

"Couch guitar"... at first I shook my head but after considering it for a bit, isn't that really where the muscle memory is formed? You could probably diversify into couches with integrated guitar pockets. Opportunity is everywhere.

The Taylor A12 is really cool. Keep one around for visiting grandchildren & Keep one out to practice & play with.

Please make a video on the new Epiphone s inspired by Gibson Acoustics

I appreciate you

What do you think about the fender player series?

Also, have you guys heard of Tanglewood and what do you think?

so it has been a while since you did this video you i find myself (who has never played a note) moving to AK and wanting to pursue a life long interest. i say i have never played a note and i stand by that but i have tried several times with several instruments and i just dont have the gift like my brother. still i want to take an acoustic guitar with me. if nothing else it can hang on the wall aside my vaga banjo. i love the sound of the martins and think the djr10 just may be a good candidate

Great vid we would like to see a new one on from 800$ to 1400$ range🔥✌️

@almo music center, You need to experiment with the Martin DRj10 and strings, 80/20 and Phosfor, retro strings, Im very interested

Have a Gretsch Rancher Falcon Jumbo paid $700 for it exceptional quality craftsmanship

The Yamaha’s neck is the most comfortable I’ve played on a guitar that costs less than $1,000. It’s so nice. Rolled fingerboard, great fretwork. I mean. Come on. Such a great value.

Have you tried the Sire acoustics? If you have, what do you think…

Are you guys going to be talking about the new Epiphone inspired by Gibson solid wood acoustics? Those seem to be incredible value for money. I would love to see one of your high quality comparisons between the epiphone and the Gibson!

I had the FSX800C, ended up trading it for a Martin.....Yamaha is great, but really gets Thin at louder playing, thought about upgrading to a A1M yamaha(was about to buy it), but then played a Martin SC-10e, and the tone was magical, and so got that instead.

What does Cooper play at the end please?

Does the yamaha FSX800C sound exactly as its acoustic only version the fs800?

FGX800C

Not many people get a euphonium for Christmas - that’s a great mother. Let’s see the demo. Ps - the Yamaha sounds best to me.

I have the Yamaha LS-TA coming from the big man Santa clause himself.....

What about the RJ504XZBIG Cock Range 🤔 ridiculous reference numbers A12N And what was the reference numbers on the chair coop

I enjoyed the demo of how they all sound. Personally i thought the Yamaha sounds the best! I really want to love the Ibanez because of it's modern look and I'm a big fan of a guitar that's easy to play, but it definitely sounds a bit thin :(. I might opt for it anyways. Planning on buying a guitar very soon...

All these guitars are nice, and anyone of them would be a fine choice. I think Yamaha has a slightly better timbre and attack. It's really all just down to personal opinion or brand loyalty.

Yamaha and cort make the best value for money acoustics! No one ever mentions cort though.

I just prefer that sound that Taylor has. I love Martin as the next I prefer. I do like the way a Martin plays

Between the Martin Jr. and Taylor GSMini, I think the Taylor has a fuller and more intricate sound than the Martin. However, despite the fact that the GSMini doesn't come with a pickup and is higher in price than the Martin Jr., I would choose the Martin Jr. over the Taylor.

My own feelings on each guitar's sounds from best to worst, take them with a grain of salt as I am a nobody lol: #1: Fender CD-60. I loved how warm and balanced it sounded, it didn't ring too bright but also didn't neglect any bass response, which is shocking since I don't hold Fender acoustics in very high regard. This is the one I would pick as a singer/songwriter personally. #2: Yamaha FSX800. Another surprise for me as I don't typically like Yamaha guitars, this one also sounded very well balanced, but with a bit more focus on the high end than the Fender, the voice on this one impressed me considering how thin it is and I think it'd be a great all around gigging instrument. #3: Martin Junior. It SHOCKED me how big of a voice that little guitar has, and it truly does sound like a Martin to my ears. With big boomy bass (for the size) and well-balanced mids with decent highs, this would be a great guitar for old-school country and rockabilly. #4: Both Taylors. These both tie here for me at fourth place, they sounded fairly sterile to my ear and that's not necessarily a bad thing, if you like the Taylor signature sound, both of these certainly give it to you at a low price and I feel these would be good guitars for beginners but I don't find either to be particularly sonically interesting. #5: Ibanez AEWC32FM. This is easily the worst sounding guitar of the bunch for me acoustically (they didn't demo its electronics but knowing Ibanez, I'm positive it sounds good plugged in), it's muffled and flat sounded, very muted. It's almost like listening to an acoustic guitar with your head under water, however having played similar models before, I know that they do make excellent acoustic lead guitars for anyone looking to get into acoustic lead, just be sure to plug them in or you won't hear them over the rhythm section.

WHO ELSE IS THINKING RICK FROM PAWN STARS ON RIGHT . AND GUY WITH TWO LAST NAMES ON LEFT ..? ...JUST HAVING FUN GANG....

6 X 6? Availability is a key especially if Alamo has them.

Cooper needs to give us the tab to this piece he’s playing. It’s so mesmerising!

I am torn. Looking for my first guitar to learn on. Currently looking at a gs mini mahagony. Now I am questioning if I should get a guitar with a full scale length like the A12. Any thoughts?

Taylor gs mini best sound

What's better, the gs mini or the taylor academy line?

24:35 & 29:02

Yamaha FSX800C and Taylor Academy 12 stood out the most in my opinion

What is your price on a Yamaha A1M? I would have put it on this list instead of the FS800. Thanks...I enjoy your videos.

Does anyone have tabs for this beautiful riff Cooper was playing ?
