Completely forgot about these coming. It really sounds good, and I understand how each guitar may have its own song, if played long enough. Thanks Quinton and Paul.

[@lhvent]

I would absolutely love to sit down with Quinton with the FS9 and my LS6. Yamaha makes some special guitars.

[@kerbyfab]

How do you like that LS6? I’ve been eyeing the LS6M model, but didn’t know if I should go up to the LS16M.

[@abclar1]

This is the best resonating guitar I have heard here! Thanks M.V.

[@bosse641]

it rings for sure! WOW. ....amazing. And the clean beauty. WANT ONE.

[@leelossi1257]

That was awesome Quinton! You really like this guitar!!!!

[@realtalk5931]

Don’t ever sleep on Yamaha. To me the voicing on their guitars is the best. Very dynamic and pleasing.

[@jacqueslapidieux3182]

A winner, looks and sounds incredible! Beautifully balanced tone, full frequency response that just sounds right.

[@Fronz05]

Love Quinton's riffing on a new rhythm and I own 2 Yamaha guitars and they are always great! Thank you!

[@championhairpuller]

Great call on Tommy! His acoustic work is amazing, as is his electric.

[@richardstones6445]

I just ordered one. Should arrive this week. I haven't been this excited for a new guitar in a long time. As a long-time Martin fanboi, I have a hard time believing that I now own two Yamaha guitars. I bought the FG5 Red Label five or six months ago and was just blown away with the quality of materials and the craftsmanship coming from the Japanese luthiers at the Hamamatsu factory. And these FG/FS 9's take it to an entirely different level.

[@smandez2023]

Wow does that Yamaha sound amazing!

[@JS-nf1sn]

That thing sounds amazing.

[@heidih2887]

oooohhh, SWEET! LOVE how this one sounds! Something extra-special! 😍🥰😍🥰

[@redson425]

That is a superb sounding guitar.

[@jeffk4930]

I liked the way Quentin noodled round a bit. My favorite pastime is noodling!

[@johncrane6673]

Great review. Listening to you guys struggle to find superlatives to adequately describe this guitar makes me wonder why anyone pays $20K for any guitar. Just stunning.

[@Christ-is-King-]

Everyone loves Quinton. I know I do!

[@michaelmcinnis911]

Wish Yamaha would make some left-handed high end guitars (like the FG9 & FS9). They've saved me a lot of money because they don't!

[@auramac]

Same here! Being a lefty, I don't even get to try them!

[@CrisGuitarBR]

As great as this guitar is, Yamaha offers wonderful options at a much more friendly price point, such as the FS5/FG5. Therefore, I would need more reasons and cash to choose this one over saving more to buy a luthier-made or boutique brand guitar. Just my opinion.

[@rexmotif]

The sound🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ghimaumelaya]

Many would cry for such a ringing! 😂

[@leraph3904]

Hey GUYS, Did you already try FURCH GUITAR? I just bought a vintage 1 om SR.......Seriously......AMAZING as you can't imagine

[@stephensmith60]

I say: keep playing the little tunes that you're used to playing. I do the same. Sometimes it's just a part of warming up. This way too - one becomes a little more creative each time they play the same old tune. I have several acoustics, and one of my favorites is a Yamaha FG 830; and that's right up close to my Martin D-28. A thorough action adjustment, a replacement of the nut, and a great set of 12 - 53 (80/20 Bronze) strings will pull the mid-sounds right out of this guitar. 😊👏🏻🥂.

[@kerbyfab]

Sounds like a Yamaha… great acoustic sound! Does the FS stand for Folk Style?

[@jaykenney3270]

Kerbyfab, FS means Folk Small. FG is Folk Guitar.

[@Supermastinflin]

Quinton where do you work ??! ❤❤

[@miamistomp]

Yes,Yamaha makes good guitars and especially the lower end is a lot of guitar for the money. This guitar looks good and sounds good but can't imagine any regular , working musician dropping 4k on that guitar. 1/2 buys me a nice Gibson/Martin used and has resale value if money becomes an issue-I guess a rich man's guitar Luckily I am not in their market because I don't see or hear anything that gives me the hots ( and I hate the inlays)

[@venturaVlogger]

Its sounds so tinny with less bottom end

[@SingSurfStrum]

That’s a peach ! Do it Q 👍

[@juandelacruz5247]

I'll go with Alama... affordable and beautiful hand-made guitars.

[@Jam-m7m]

Acoustic letter Yamaha Fi rosewood vs mahogany

[@JN-North.Guitars]

Nice playing & great geeetar! 👏👍

[@mikehoehn1475]

Sounds like a high end boutique instrument.

[@soofitnsexy]

nice but thin and bright to my ears ..a perfect guitar for maybe 1500 ...tops...always love Quinton!!

[@DoU12Rock]

How does that feel with that really short scale? 25 3/4 is 5 inches shorter than a Martin Do the strings feel sloppy?

[@IRequireMedication]

Um, you seem a little confused

[@Esteban69129]

$4k? Oof…

[@fishbustin7926]

Who can afford a decent guitar anymore?

[@smandez2023]

Depends on your definition of decent.

[@theDestinationisnow.]

anyone !!this one is MASSIVELY OVERPRICED AND AVG

[@lilycat1694]

I sold my D28 Reimagined recently. Embarrassing, but there was a lot of money tied up in that guitar that I needed for other things (bills). Saving for a future guitar purchase. May have to go affordable Eastman or Yamaha or maybe Martin. I miss the beautiful D28, but in all honesty I never really connected with it in a way that I felt it was worth all the $$$ I spent on it.

[@theDestinationisnow.]

@@lilycat1694 I own several standatd and custom shop Martins..absolutely nothing comes close

[@davidbaillieul109]

Beautiful rig. I had a LS16m at one point that rang like that. Engleman spruce will do that.

[@Louis_Cypher]

In my opinion, the whole Yamaha sounds alien to European ears. She sounds cold, glassy, ​​soulless. Perhaps this is tuned for the Japanese ear and the Japanese have their own idea of ​​great sound.

[@DJWRailroad]

@Louis_Cypher - could be due to its size? But, then, other "high-end" small body guitars produce some surprisingly huge sound.
