Thank you so much for this video! It’s exactly the information I was looking for!
Mitchell guitars should be among these. They're not just because your store doesn't sell them.
The Fender CD-60m and The Ibanez AW59opn can’t be beat
The Yamaha FG800 is a remarkable value at 199.99 or 229.99 – I've seen it listed new at both prices at different retailers. Great sound, playability, durability and aethstetics.
C'mon, you mixed acoustic guitars with classic guitars.
Can't listen to this commercial any longer. Tell the price and play the guitar.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life

Are these guitar are steel sting
I like Yamaha guitars, although I have a Sigma , Fender , Luna , Bentley, and Washburn!
Idk. I am a Yamaha fan as well but it recent years, they don't seem to dominate the cheaper market anymore. Even small bodies, you have Ibanez Alvarez, Mitchell, Washburn and great ones like Bristol, some recording king's, etc that tbh in many ways surpass Yamaha. There are so many more companies that make really good guitars in this range, I will say that Yamaha are probably more consistent than many. Bristol tho, I am amazed at what they do with laminate woods and plastic components. They get slept on alot
Thank you for the video!
Does the Ibanez Artwood ac240 come in left hand?
Are all the guiters mentioned above in stock now
Bought a Epiphone ft 100 to learn to play on. For the money it's pretty good. Paid $165 for it.
just a bunch of junk The real budget star Alvarez is not here.
Dang it! Now I want one of those Ibanez art wood series! Plus an Ibanez hollow body electric that is at the store down the street from me.
I love your reviews, and even though they give me a serious case of GAS, I will continue to watch.
Thanks for posting.
I love the yamaha's. They sound great!
I'm confused what to buy between fgx800c and fsx800c. I mostly do strumming tho.
Thank you very much, nice playing also!

Yamaha apx 600????
Very informative, thanks so much.
I had a $89 guitar and it sounded decent to me ???? it was unnamed but i want to upgrade
Wow. That first one sounds awfully good. It could be the great Blue mic your using though.
hi… i wanna buy a acoustic guitar with 300 dollars you think its worth?
Ohh come on !! where is breed love discovery series ?
I had a Yamaha once and it was so bad it left me traumatized ???? but i love the ibanez ac240 artwood I've had it for 2 years and have yet to be able to put it down
got the ibenez dreadnaught when this vid came out got me started in guitar now im playing a les paul thanks man for helping me start guitar
Just a word of caution.
Some of the Yamaha FSX800C guitars come prestrung with D'Addario EXP 11 strings.
Those are not the best for this guitar. Way too tinny sounding.
Most come with Yamaha FS50BT strings from the factory.
These are much better but are a bit costly to replace (around $15 a set).
To save some cost, I have switched to D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze.
It's a great compromise and run around $7 a set.
I'll still occasionally throw on a set of the Yamaha strings.
Yamaha FSX 800C is a winner.
I also own a Ibanez AW54CE. Slightly over $300 but beautiful warm tone with strong low tones.
I guess it's all subjective but I prefer warm as opposed to bright.
If you have a larger budget than $300, the Yamaha AC1R is really tough to beat. They run around $649.
I'll put that guitar against pretty much any sub $1500 guitar I have played.
Yamaha and Ibanez are simply drastically better than the other guitars in that price range!
How do I get in touch with Alamo music center can anyone help me please ? Gary G !
Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with Alamo music center please I have got to get me another ac340 acoustic guitar they are wonderful guitar's sound's great and they play great got to get me another one thank's ? Gary G !
Musicians Friend's house brand "Mitchell" is a great budget acoustic!…check Musicians Friend on ebay for a deal. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mitchell-T313CE-Solid-Spruce-Top-Auditorium-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar/133484380556?epid=2297039173&hash=item1f144a018c:g:R4gAAOSwCntfKX2N

I didn’t like the aw54 I was at guitar center and it just sounded horrible compared to the yamaha fgx800.. I started to play six months ago with a 12 string Ibanez pf1512 .
Under 300 bucks but no Mitchell? Sad.
Hello bro
Is Fender FA-125 would be a good choice?
The song played on the Cordoba, sounds like Tommy Emmanual's Country Wide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmgR8U_kJ8 Tommy in his early days)
a classical guitar lesson get you to stretch your fingers, recognize guitar music (not tablature), and play music that is different from strumming pop tunes and teaches you to play bass and treble lines together with both hands… and at 'open mic' nearly no one can play a nylon string guitar at all…
Great video, I agree that higher end Yamaha's are of quality construction and startlingly good sound. I'd throw the Yamaha FG840 in the best under $300 category though. I went to the music store to look at a vintage Guild OM, and picked up Yamaha 840 before going into the high end guitar room just because it was pretty. It had a solid top scalloped bracing abalone inlay and most of all, flamed maple back and sides (bright and loud). I played it for a bit and was amazed, then played a series of new and vintage Gibsons, Martins, Guilds and Taylors. I ended up leaving the store with a 300.00 Yamaha that has since become my daily player. It continues to open up as I play it and holds a tune better than any guitar I've ever owned. My only complaint is that they should have used a bone saddle and nut that would yellow with age if they are using ivory (not white) binding
What do you think of 70's Epiphone?
Listening to these budget-line guitars that sound surprisingly good reminds me that it's not so much the instrument, rather the player. One can tell the difference but they are not hard to listen to, like some cheapoid guitars. There is a difference between inexpensive instruments and cheap ones.
Problem is these guitars are made in China! If Fender remakes the Fender Coronado you can assuredly rest it will be made in China!! ????
That Ibanez ac240 is amazing ????
Ibanez has incredibly sharp frets
I have the Ibanez Artwood 340 electric acoustic and just love it. I have smaller hands and very easy to play. I get many compliments on how it sounds and looks.
