    I have both of these guitars and I agree that they are both fantastic as good as almost any guitar I've played. I also have a 1978 Martin D18 of which I am the original owner. Of the three, it's a personal preference. The Martin is between the 2 Yamahas. It's brighter than the FG5 and a bit bolder than the ll16. For giggles I bought a Yamaha FG830. I looks very similar to the LL16 and to my unbelieving ears it sounds and plays on par with the other three guitars for about $325. The FG830 is not just a great budget guitar, it;s a great guitar. I should probably make a video about it

    Just sold my FG5 last month in order to purchase the new FG9, could not be happier with it and wouldn’t trade it for the world. At the same time cannot stress enough how nice of a guitar the fg5 is, especially for the price. Such a warm sounding guitar, it really does sound vintage. Was surprised Yamaha never used a Torrified top on the FG9 and would love to know how it would sound. If I had to pick one I’d still choose my FG9 all day long as I find it’s more versatile. Thanks for the video, was the exact comparison I was looking for when I came time to make my decision, cheers.

    They both sound amazing. They have their own sound, very different from Martin, Gibson, Guild, etc. At that quality level, which is high in the FG5 let alone the FG9 it just comes down to personal preference. The sound is full and robust. Should be even better once broken in. I have a owned a D18 back in the day- apples and oranges. Not on quality mind you, just sound profile. Certainly these are worthy of consideration. Enjoyed your playing!

    I too bought a FG5 over a D18. While the lower price was nice, it was not a factor in my decision. The FG5 just had a nicer tone than the D18 and it also played better - I really don't like the Martin modified low oval necks. If Yamaha would make a FG9 with the ARE treatment coupled with the look of the FG5, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not a fan of the FG9 fret markers...they're classy and nice, but just not for me.

    Hi Gavin. Thanks for the demo. The FG9 sounds absolutely fantastic! The FG5 sounds great too, in a more subdued way. As a singer, I would probably get the latter, which, I think, would complement my voice. The FG9 seems to be what I call a guitarist’s guitar, i.e., great for bluegrass and instrumental music, but a little intimidating for someone who enjoys singing ballads and fingerpicking. Does that make any sense to you?

      I would also say the FG9 is actually great for finger style. Its dynamic range is ridiculous, especially for an Adi top. It can be played whisper quite. Because of the above, I’m actually forgoing picking up the FS9 I planned on gettting. The FG9 just does everything exceptionally well.

    I have both the LL16 and 5 too. I changed the saddle back to urea on my LL16…bone made it much too bright and tinny. Great review and both are awesome guitars. Myself I prefer my 5…of course it is $1000 more in Canada…much lighter and warmer sound.

      Hey James I also did the same with the bone on my 16 and put back in the plastic, I didn't like the sound of the bone atal in it ! Great to see you on here thanks brother 🙏

    I ordered an FG9M after playing one. I played it against an LL36 and loved them both, but they were very different. The FG9 just had everything for me - warmth, volume, resonance, and responsiveness. Thanks for sharing!

      I think for my preferences would go with the LL36. But, I did enjoy the FG9 Mahogany when I played it.

    • @jmsamborski
      @jmsamborski 6 месяцев назад

      Having both the LL36 and FG9M, the FG is probably more immediately impressive because it's louder and has more clarity. The LL36 is sweeter sounding and sometimes is just more of a joy to play. Get the LL36 next time, totally worth having both.

    Thanks for the comparison. The FG9M is a big step up tone wise. I hope there will be a FS9 as well soon. Have you also tried the rosewood version? According to other videos there is only a small difference between the mahogany and rosewood versions.

Yamaha are releasing the fs9s this year so keep an eye out it's only a matter of time that's from a good source!!
