AHHH Classical Gas on the Cordoba. I havent heard that great song in a long time… nicely played. Lovely sounding guitar.
that 12 string is amazing
Did not get to hear both Taylor guitars. :/
Hi Chris..what is the name of the song you are playing on the Cordoba ? I have heard it before but can’t recall the name of the artist or the name of the song. Thanks.
Epiphone Hummingbird?
Inconsistant sound recordings make these comparison series pointless.
would the prs SE angelus a10e fit in this list or anywhere near the top 10? They got incredible reviews for 599$ guitars..
What is that bass noise ?????Car noise….sad.
No Eastmans? Eastmans totally blow these junkers away…
The mocha gang Martin sounds awesome
Beautiful is a nice word but its a complete selling gimmick a good guitar sells itself via its quality of sound save us the bullshit and give us more of the sound.
wow that fender sounds like a tin can, like zero bass. thats bad.
What was the model number of the Martin, the first guitar you reviewed ?
Where are the PRS SE Angelus?
Not sure I put much stock in reviews that put MDF wood guitars over real wood makes just because the headstock says Taylor or Martin.
Man, those fenders still sound lika a fartbox.
I probably would have mentioned Breedlove and seagull. Excellent video brother; Subscribed!
What is your pricing for the Taylor 114ce-N?
Martin DRS1 Road Series or Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE? which one would i buy? or any recommendations?
what about cort 🙁
No Seagull?
i guess finder is not good in making acoustic guitar… bwahahaha
Do ya’ll HAVE RECORDING KING GUITARS
Man I hope these guitars sound better in person than they do here
You are unable to strumm a guitar, dude its licke butchering a pork!!!
Given other reviews you’ve done, why did the Big Baby Taylor not make this list? Are the other 10 superior or is the BBT old news?
Sapele guitars like the Martin DSR 1 are solid wood, not laminate.
riff at 14:25? so sick. I’d love a tab
No Eastmans ?!
How come the new Yamaha L series isn’t in this list? The LL16RD is an AWESOME guitar that just fits right in with $999. And it looks fabulous too.
I’m not sure if this is even necessary, but I thought I would suggest it. When listening to the sound of each guitar it seems that you play primarily the same genre of music. Maybe by doing an overview of each guitar paired with a genre comparison could better break down the sound of each one. What I mean by that is, play a sample of music of varying genres on each guitar so that people who are listening for the sound quality can better relate the instrument to their personal style. Again, I am not an expert and have no idea if that is even notable, but I thought I would suggest it. It’s just seems a bit one dimensional hearing the same tones from each one.
I like all your videos . can you do the Martin drs2 . I love mine . it was just over $ 1000 in Canada.
Why the you not includ a Seagull guitar.
Insert snide remark here… haha thanks for the video
What about the epiphone masterbuilt
I like Taylor and Martin, but so many of their guitars creeping up on the $1,000 mark just have superfluous appointments to make them slightly better than the previous model or series, when usually for just another $300 or so more, you could get one of their USA all-solid wood models. If you’re going to going to spend over a thousand, that extra hundred matters less than if you only wanted to spend $500 or $600. Great overview on all of these!
the same chords the whole time
I bought the Fender PM3 Limited Triple 0 Adirondack Spruce Top, Rosewood back and sides. Ebony fretboard. It is £1019 lol but its so worth it. I like the deep dark tone that Rosewood gives
“between $600-$1000” When that Martin GPCCPA is $2000 at your local music store 🙁
Still no love for Breedlove still smh
Much better off spending 800-1000 on a Seagull than a martin
Much better bang for your buck
Martin and Taylors are good but there are other brands out there
A fender was mentioned and not a seagull or a takamine?
Really?
Never trust a salesman
Great video, thanks, this was really helpful. I teach mechanical engineering at a Big Ten university, and I’m impressed with your discussion. Good work, keep it up!
i really hate the word yousician
and where the hell is the best under 1000.00 guitar,,, the Seagull Mariime,, I know,, I bought one and got rid of my Martin D40,,, why???????? because it sounded just as good for 1/3 the price,,, ole USN vet
