One of the newest contender to the most popular guitar in India - the Yamaha FS80c. We were curious as to how good is this guitar when compared. And hence this video.
Guitars between 7k to 8k is one of the most popular price segments in India and with the entry of Cort AF500c the confusion was natural. With amazing specs like Spruce top and Mahogany back and side the Cort AF500c offered way higher specs than the Yamaha FS80c.
However when it came to actual comparison we found the Yamaha FS80c a tad bit better in terms of built quality, sound and even strings. However since sound is subjective, we urge everyone to see this video and decide what is best for you.

Try the Ibanez 39c if you have not already. It's in the same price range. I personally prefer it over Yamaha 80c in terms of build and sound quality. It is a great guitar and you should do a comparison with Yamaha 80c.

@@JohnsmusicIn Ibanez does not have an India specific site like Yamaha does and this is an India specific guitar maybe that is why it is not listed.

@@prashantgogoi9388 i have seen review video of ebanez md39c by one of the guitarist on his youtube channel who was disappointed by its fretboard. That's why I told you.

@@AnkurAgarwalstyleofficial Yamaha 280 is also a great guitar with good sound. But you cannot compare it with Ibanez 39C it is a dreadnought and Ibanez 39c is a 39 inch cutaway. Both will have different sound signatures and used for different purposes. I needed a smaller guitar hence went for Ibanez but good choice with the Yamaha 280 - all the best!
