If you aren't convinced of the incredible FG830, here's a comparison with a $3000 Martin: youtube/mHZ71WrEtFs
Comment from : @chrisb9740

To my ear the Epiphone sounds a little too mid range heavy
Comment from : @jamesfaulkner-b7j

$500 four years ago is now worth about $700 This puts you very close to some much better instruments
Comment from : @1wheeldrive751

And the wonder is…Alvarez!
Comment from : @tao265

That Ibanez sounds so bad
Comment from : @farmershane

Rid the cheap white binding and maybe
Comment from : @Tattoosbygreg

, brDünyanın neresinde yaşıyorsanız yaşayın, br(üst kapağı laminant olmayan gerçek masif ağaç) bir gitara ihtiyacınız varsa ve Martin marka bir gitar alacak kadar çok paranız yoksa , brmutlaka ve mutlaka bir Yamaha FG800 alın(fiyatı190 dolar) allıca bir karar vermiş olursunuz, brasla ve asla pişman olmazsınız ömür boyu mutlu olursunuz böyle bir gitar aldığınız için brsize söz veriyorum bana dua edersiniz, bu gitarı aldığınız için brsaygılarımla br

Luna bamboo cutaway acoustic sounds and plays like a 1200$ taylor for only 300 online videos dont do it justice
Comment from : @godforever27

The Alvarez Rg260 for usually under 300 will kick all these guitars butt's withe a great pick up in it
Comment from : @robgoldsteinmsdiabetesexer5995

Martin DX1 series don't make the list?
Comment from : @staceystrickland5302

I found a discount on BBT taylor walnut with 500€ Should i buy it??
Comment from : @zephrys

The Taylor guitars are currently above 650 :D
Comment from : @Jriv463

I like Yamaha FG830 more than the Fender CD-140SCE but Fender 140SCE has a guitar case Because of budget, I will buy 140SCE today If I bye FG830, another amount for the bag must be arrangedbrbrI am still not sure my brother will let me purchase the 140SCE, very pitty 😂😭
Comment from : @RK4musics

The Fender, surprisingly has the best balanced tone of the bunch, to my ear!

Comment from : @tuberider2077

Here in 2024 and only the yamaha is under $500 😅
Comment from : @luismelchor3817

Yamaha makes great acoustics I need one
Comment from : @mrbadcat5536

the Yamaha FG830 sound like over 1000 dollars guitar !!!!!!
Comment from : @CharlieMusicWorlds

Can someone tell me what does it mean by "high end" acoustics Isn't fg830 high end What is not high end I don't understand
Comment from : @Guitar-pro-lk

What strings do you use for your acoustic guitars I feel there are soo many but I don’t know which are used for what
Comment from : @mariusj34

Good vid! I wished you would have played the same with all of them ;)
Comment from : @bolali

And the Yamaha wins every time Good review, but it's misleading to show some guitars with amplification and some without These are acoustics and should be played as such, particularly if we're making a comparison
Comment from : @jonatherton

Loved YAMAHA FG830 Guitar
Comment from : @Mostafa20268

great great video! Thank you!!!
Comment from : @DuncanGarrett

How aboit waShbun bela tono s9v
Comment from : @zeybekification

First impression - Yamaha's the best! But on second thought, sorry to say that, this whole sound comparison is worthless, since you played chords music on certain guitars and finger style on the others
Comment from : @jacekr9705

Wouldn't buy a Fender acoustic guitar on a bet
Comment from : @richfrazier8756

I have the Ibanez, but that Ephiphon was beautiful Shocked how Yamaha isnt as popular these days They have good quality guitars, tried and true for the bank Fantastic reveiws, thank you good Sir
Comment from : @michelleruss1

That 830 sounds really good For the price
Comment from : @robruitenberg4064

I used to have a nice Chineses guitar but when I saw their arrogant and un-apologetic response of the Chinese dictatorship after their third pandemic that killed millions, made billions sick and costs use trillions I didn't enjoy playing it any more knowing that it helps support this murderous regime Afterall, this is a discretionary purchase and if you have lost anyone to Covid you may want to consider supporting other countries
Comment from : @NeverGoBack2

All great instruments, Chris, and your playing makes them sound awesome Also love your music of music Thanks for sharing this review
Comment from : @roberttosa2560

I bought a used, US made, Martin DX1 for $450 Thing is fantastic Took a little off the saddle, adjusted the truss rod and put some new strings on it and it’s a Cadillac
Comment from : @moobutt

Awesome, Chris Love this comparison Super helpful
Comment from : @david_karner

Appreciate the time taken to make this video but how can you compare the sound if you strum loudly with the pick one but finger pick gently another one??
Comment from : @silvanostasolla8954

Well the Taylor is no longer a sub $500 guitar more like $699 Still an awesome guitar
Comment from : @groovymoon

I was intrigued by the Ibanez EAWC32FM as an electric playerbut the Plastic Nut and Saddle is unacceptable There are cheaper Ibanez Acoustic guitars with a Bone Nut and Saddle Don't know what Ibanez was thinking here?

Great video! I will let everyone know who is watching in 2023 The Taylor academy 10 is now $700 the 12 is more
Comment from : @SugarMapleForge

Vintage brand are great guitars! Under 500 dollars and brilliant!
Comment from : @oliverkirkland6541

The academy 12 is now selling for 699 :(
Comment from : @masamune

The Yamaha does it for me! I like the nice bright tone! It has I like it the best But no case I wish it had a hard case like the Fender one does
Comment from : @AngelMartinez-qs3cf

The fender with the hard case oh man thats such a good deal and sounds amazing, also taylor for the price but a gig bad, its a tough choice
Comment from : @omargerardo5457

If I had to rate them I would go:brbrTaylor - Sounded pretty amazing for a low end Taylor, but I wouldn't expect anything less from them When I heard the first low E I was hooked Great range which is pretty typical for TaylorsbrYamaha - Almost always will take a Yamaha over any other brand when playing lower end modelsbrIbanez - This thing sounded amazing when using the pickups, seemed a bit boring acousticallybrFender - Not terrible, but I would take the Yamaha or the Taylor over it, unless I really needed an AE Might shop around thoughbrEpiphone - Just didn't really like the sound of this one at all Not really my style eitherbrbrbrGreat vid
Comment from : @elbee1771

Washburn WLO12SE
Comment from : @rhigo

ok this is th second vid i watched you do can you tell me please why the tone changes halfway through the song your playining? I mean its a big deal when your trying to hear how a guitar sounds and the tone changes thatt drastically allbr comparisons are out the window! brthanks
Comment from : @scottpc1234

But what about the fg840 with maple ?
Comment from : @hotlov72

My Yamaha Fg830 Is damn good, I love it! Going to get the sunburst one too or maybe an FS830
Comment from : @hotlov72

Great rundown, I’ve played a couple of these, and that Fender is truly a decent guitar I play various Fender Sonoran style guitars, with the Strat headstocks, just because I like them and the sound is pretty good for the price
Comment from : @hunterscott7592

What about Mitchell
Comment from : @carterkopacki9625

great great video! Thank you!!!
Comment from : @denmarchambers1908

The Taylor is $700
Comment from : @ZeginMakesMusic

The correct pronunciation for "Ibanez" is br i - BAN - yez
Comment from : @wayneleroy6382

That yamaha fg830 definitely sounds the best 👌
Comment from : @ShoeMonsterEDC

I watched this video bought an sj200 and I am returning my 2nd one as of today
Comment from : @joshsamdal8183

It’s overwhelming how much better the Yamaha fg 830 sounds compared to the others
Comment from : @robertschultz7612

Ive got an Ibanez acoustic as my first guitar, and I’m thinking of getting something that suits me a little bit more now that I know what I’m doing My mind is kinda already set on that FG830 after playing it in the store, but I have played a Mitchell acoustic that felt really warm and smooth sounding I can’t remember the model but it was like $300- something
Comment from : @vxmo2068

Now we need a revised version for this year
Comment from : @tangerine0323

I've the Epiphone SJ200 no cutaway, 1980's Yamaha FG450 (my sentimental favourite) & Gretsch Gin Rickey I like them all for different reasons, they're good value well made guitars for the money I've also have the Sigma DM ST it is by a long, long way the best sub $500 / $352 AUD acoustic guitar I have ever owned or played The SJ200 only gets a run occasionally & the Yamaha FG 450 & Gretsch don't get played very much at all since I brought the Sigma I can't heap enough praise on the Sigma DM ST when its got newish strings on it
Comment from : @noname-fx6qf

How about China made guitars ahaha
Comment from : @geoffworsnop5726

Miss my fender CD 60 somehow
Comment from : @SunFogg

I think Dean guitars Sound great For 4-5 hundred
Comment from : @bigfoot2708

Very helpful, thank you
Comment from : @wildwesternmedicine

Bought a lefty sx about 16 years ago for about 250e and it's my baby Wouldn't trade it for another guitar so it's all about feel and how it sits with you imo

Comment from : @brandoncarter1579

bruh
Comment from : @luisdawiz69

What song is he playing on the Taylor?
Comment from : @jayntguru

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, but it would be better for us to listen to the same song to compare the sound of each guitar ;- )
Comment from : @genevievelampron5873

Thanks! Enjoyed this video!!br Sold all my guitars and haven't played in over 10 years and trying to get back into it
Comment from : @BillandJennTraveling

I really appreciate your videos - as a lefty, with a rather thin wallet, I have to weigh my options meticulously, and your videos have been the biggest help - especially not being able to find and play the instruments myself (curse the left handed gods)
Comment from : @peterpursley9852

I wish I could jam with this dudehis wrythym work is compatibleno homoi could twang out with the MF thang out on a Yamaha good content

Comment from : @ben2808

That Epiphone looks so nice
Comment from : @GuitarsRgood7

Alvarez has a lot of great acoustic products around $500 too, I’m surprised you didn’t showcase one on this list All of these guitars sounded great though and you did a great job bringing out the sounds
Comment from : @ScotStephenso

Epiphone sounded the best for sure
