Excellent and informative video, I would love to see a similar follow up with your new Yamaha LS36 (same recording setup, same runs, songs etc) as it would allow for a fascinating comparison of two higher end Yamahas.

Yesterday I made a similar video with the LS36. The experiences of Thursday and Friday confirm my story, viz., the FG9 is a Little David Dread and setting off something like that in your home requires precautions including clearing people in the hood to a safe distance and ear protection.

As a proud owner of a Yamaha FG9M, the theFSB video fell far short of accurately portraying the capabilities of this magnificent instrument. I don’t know what the heck he was playing or talking about but I can say with great confidence that the FG9 plays better and sounds better.
My FG9M is loud, has a huge dynamic range, incredible clarity of tone and a most wonderful understated elegance. When I bought mine, I had the opportunity to compare it side by side with a Martin Custom Shop D18 with an addi top and the sinker wood mahogany sides and back. To my ears, the Yamaha sounded clearer and much louder than the more expensive Martin. The selling point for me was the tonal clarity. We’re talking Goodall level of pristine tone. It’s that good. It’s certainly evident to me that Yamaha did their homework with this one. The $4,000 price tag isn’t expensive, it’s a bargain. Last edited by srick; 01-30-2024 at 04:21 AM.

That's what I said in the video and above at length in this thread. I think I was the first here to remark on the extraordinary dynamic range and clear, uniform of tone.

I like to play many different types of music but primarily rock, pop, some country, maybe 20% fingerstyle and the rest strumming and flat picking. I also have 4 electric guitars that I play often. Any recommendations between the Rosewood and Hog? |

Keowulf, It all depends on what sound you want. The rosewood will provide a piano-like richness with great overtones while the mahogany will provide a bell-like pristine clarity. I play bluegrass so I chose the FG9 M model to get that clarity of tone. My FG9 M really delivers. I’m waiting for Yamaha to introduce the FS9 models and when that day arrives, I’ll get the rosewood model and use that to play in church. Yamaha hit a home run with these new models.
