I’m a pro musician, and have owned a top flight studio over here in England for the last 25 years. In my opinion, if you’re looking for a budget to mid priced guitar you should consider Yamaha, Yamaha, or, possibly, Yamaha. The Ibanez is really good, but in my experience, nothing is as good as a Yamaha for price vs quality. Although I find the older Korean made ones to be better
Alamo Music Center Can i Ask If you Buy Yamaha JR1 do u have Free bag Sir? Please reply
THanks for sharing
Appreciated the honesty about the quality of guitars today because of the advancements in technology and manufacturing. You see a lot of hating from luthiers and others who constantly frown on manufactured machine made guitars.
Do you sell any high end Guitars?
I have a question for you guys at Alamo Music. Which is the better quality electroacoustic guitar: Fender Sonoran or Ibanez Talman? I’m actually surprised that the Ibanez Talman didn’t make your list which is why I’m curious on which of the abovementioned two guitars is better overall. Thanks, guys!!
Good video Chris. I can’t tell you how many music shops have pretentious douchebags working there. I was in one near Baltimore where I’m from and the guy was playing Alice in Chains “nutshell”…he was playing the wrong chords so as we started to talk I told the the right chord progression and he got really offended. I wasn’t bring a dick either. We were having a friendly conversation while he was sitting there playing and I just told him to play a Cadd9 instead of C major…I think his ego got hurt. I mean who cares? Playing for me is about the fun and love of music. Some people have too much pride and are always trying to one up each other. Just enjoy playing. Smh
You talk too much
Don’t listen to the folks saying you talk too much. This is all great info for a newer player like myself. I really appreciate the video. It has been very helpful.
I bought a Fender 140sce. Should have bought the Yamaha.
Hi, which one would you recommend – yamaha fs800 or yamaha fs820? I am looking for small body guitar, as I feel comfortable with those. Is there any other beutifyl (tone and playability) 000size guitar for under $300 you can recommend?
LMFAO He said DINERO LOL
tHE WASBURN ea15atb MINNI JUMBO IS AN AWESOME CHEAP GUITAR AND IT COMES WITH SOME GREAT ELECTRONICS!!!
..
lt wasn’t “live” when l watched it
Hi guys, want to hear your opinion on this. I found a used Yamaha C40 and question is, do you think this is a good guitar for this price range? (check pics)

Which VERY POPULAR SONG does playing at 10:22?
Did you say I can get a whole lot of guitars, for my money? How many guitars?
Dame is also good Korean guitar.
2:30 of bullshit, get to the video already
Do you guys ship to India ?
Are any of these made in the USA?
A little too chatty for my taste. You could have just introduced and played each guitar
what along commercial…. toomuch time spent on the garbage guitars.
I wish you would have played a Yamaha FG830 and commented on it compared to the others at the $299 price point. I just bought one.
I have a question. What if I have to fart?
Find Alvarez. Best budget guitar out there and I’ve tried them all over 50 years. Retired my martin for my Alvarez. 300 bucks
Boring. Get on with it.
Whats everyone’s opinion on the Yamaha fg700s?
must be windy out
how the hell ya’ll not gonna have the epiphone dr-100??? they sell for 99-106$ all day long.. I have the limited edition DR-100 in wine red with gold hardware and shipped to my door it was $99 also.. how about the Fender CD-60
Great Video! After watching this, I am considering the Yamaha FS800.
Way, way too much talking about nothing before you get down to business
What about Yamaha F310
I find Nubone nut and saddle on both Fender DG-8S and Fender CD-140S have which is contradictory what you said.
Sigma Guitars???
I bought a Yammy A3R, and sadly it wasn’t under the 300 bucks, nevertheless it is a beautiful guitar to play…well it should be given it is a tad over 1200AU bucks. I did play a lot of cheaper Yammys around the 300 mark, but on looking for new acoustics, there was something missing, which I couldn’t figure it out, even for putting all those guitars through the best acoustic amp available in the respective instrument shops.Then one day I decided to go to a local store near me…and funnily enough, picked up a guitar i am sure I saw before there, picked it up, the store assistant put it through front of house on the shop PA sytem and I was sold on it…it is the sound I didn’t notice before when I did that…only problem with this beautiful guitar, it and the guitar case together is very heavy to carry around. But I will put up with that for any good sound…but now on the lookout for a travel guitar with a similar sound for busking…still looking for that…some have come close to the sound of my guitar and not too bad a price either…the travel guitar will go through my busker’s amp, a Roland Cube Street, and leave the A3R for all the gigs…
This! Shop so Cool Hope i buy Fender DG-8s My country Phillippines.
Is the Yamaha 700s not as good as the 800 because it is a little bit cheaper.
very good video!
This comparison video is absolutely fantastic! Thanks Chris!!!
What’s the best acoustic guitar to play popish songs on? Not pricy, about 300 or a little higher max
No Sea Gull Guitars? They are the hottest guitars in North America.
great informative video . I just learn how to buy a guitar
Thank you for doing a great job explaining features and differences in guitars. Would you assist me to find a guitar that looks and sounds like the old 62′ “Martin drednaught”? I can not afford the “real deal” but would be satisfied with a knock off.
Great review very informative and nice presentation, thank you
