love the songs. good to hear the guitar sound without pickup

[@simonhebar]

Nice guitar and have excellent pickpup. I own AC3R and accoustic sound is excellent. I play fingerstyle.

[@douglasklinkerman1137]

You do the guitar justice. Loved all the classic intros. Especially nice to hear the Rush. It’s a nice tribute to Neal P.

[@stovepipes63]

You mean tribute to Alex Lifeson

Lovely Ben. Just like me. I take at least 5 min looking at it before I start playing😂😂

“YES”... Sounds great!

[@bengordon7635]

thanks love the guitar .. bought a Taylor and returned it for this much better

[@michaelsoileau3516]

Finally a demonstration without all the extras. Naturally sounding. Sounds great and great playing. Thank's for this video!

[@Tigerex966]

sounds great clean, crisp, and bold, yet not overpowering,did you have any setup done, and what mic are you using? I am trying to decide between this and the red label FGX5, both both sound so amazing it's hard.

[@bengordon7635]

SM 58 shure mic .. I set my own guitar up ....

[@MasAgus_007]

Wow 👍

[@FPVMgunit13]

Is the fret action low?

[@bengordon7635]

yes perfect

[@georgeharatzoglou]

Nice!Do you use a thin pick?I would definitely prefer a heavy(1.00mm), or at least a medium one.

[@Wobbz9413]

​@@bengordon7635wow thats thin.

[@G_Demolished]

@@Wobbz9413I would snap that pick within a day. This guitar would sound much fuller with a 1.0 but you have to be careful. You can overdrive a smaller body guitar if you pick too hard with thicker picks and the sound turns to mush.

[@philipdeppen2890]

Way to bright for my taste kinda thin sounding as well and I'm using good headphones lol

[@bengordon7635]

the concert series has the smaller thinner body vs the A5R which has the deeper bigger body and deeper tone

[@philipdeppen2890]

@@bengordon7635 not all small body acoustics sound thin etc.

[@mikecostigan9913]

@@philipdeppen2890 Not all headphones are "Good".

[@mikecostigan9913]

Recorded on an iPhone. I just played it today alongside 2 Martins and 2 Taylors. It sounded WAY better and looks way better too. I was looking at the D 18 and the 214ce but I have narrowed it down to this or one of the Yamaha Red Labels.

[@im58woody]

@@mikecostigan9913hey there have you ever bought either of the two? Just curious because I’m considering both too.
