Good Thursday afternoon dear Jimmy, very nice presentation of 2 guitars in different body designs (thinner and thicker). The material and workmanship again look great from this brand. At home I have +- 30 electric guitars but only one pure acoustic. But I'm keeping the time slot because yesterday I received a small 5W Bugera and some small keyboards from Yamaha. So today I put together my fifth PB of the year for this little tube amp from the iron stash of the new pedals. I have to be wary of my wife😀, we've been together for 35 years, so I don't want to irritate her, plus 3 more effects will arrive tomorrow (fortunately it will be a small package). Very nice and inspiring video. My best regards, Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
@@CZPavel-c1p Hi Pavel…always appreciate your stopping in my friend. My wife and I will be 46 years coming soon so I know from where you come…😎 Always a pleasure when you stop by!! 🎸👍
Awesome acoustic guitars Jimmy. My first guitar was a classical nylon string guitar from the Sears catalog. This was in '89 or '90. I believe I paid $50 to $75 for it. It was a piece of junk. I would have been better off buying a Hello Kitty guitar from Target or wherever those are sold lol. I either smashed it or gave it to someone after I bought a nice (to me it was nice) used Takamine from a real guitar shop, it believe it was around $125 or so. I wish that we had FF and other brands like them when I was a teen. Imagine the price in '90 for one of these. Anyway as always thank you for sharing and thank you FF for making some of the best affordable guitars for beginners and experienced players. Have a great rest of the week Jimmy!
@@TimMarcus00 Hi Tim! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Back in the day, I bought a used Harmony from a friend. Much like your experience, it was pretty junky with the strings a good half-mile off the fretboard 😎. This was mid 60’s…it did teach me the importance of hand/finger strength. Those “Hello Kitty” guitars are now demanding $$$ for whatever reason 🤔. Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing my friend….much thanks! 🎸👍
@@PhillipHolt-f9r Hi Philip…that would be nice, right? Having all that money back in my checking account from the dozens and dozens of guitars that I have bought over the years…somehow I don’t think the market could withstand giving all their guitars away to everyone. I wish the automotive market would do it! Free cars to everyone to check out! Man, that would be nice, right? Hmm…where is Oprah these days?? 😎👍
Hi Jimmy, pretty cool to see and check both out together..i actually went back and just saw the review on the thinline.. pretty decent sounding,nice volume. Very pretty too..Im going to pick one now as a gift for my nephew.....nice job my man!
@@joebloggs8636 Wow!! Such a nice gesture for your nephew! I am sure he will enjoy whichever one you pick!! Congrats and thanks so much for stopping in Joe! Always a pleasure!! 🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 HI Jimmy,so i picked one up for my nephews son...it is indeed beautful ,no defects at all...except ,the high E on the first three frets have major buzz...other than that it really is a good looking guitar and sounds pretty nice too....see ya soon!
@@joebloggs8636 Hi Joe…glad to hear you got one for your nephew! Congrats! As for the E string buzz you mention on the first 3 frets, I would 1st change out the strings and see where you are then. Check the nut slot as well as the frets there to see if perhaps the E slot is cut too low or if you may have a slightly raised fret that could be causing the buzz. Got a feeling it’s probably just the strings…😎
@@JimmyStewart1 Hello sir ,thanks for the advice,i will definitely do that first..I plan on changing strings anyway so ill be able to tell if thats the problem.Its a sharp looking guitar ,like i said ,no other concerns ,no blemishes scratches, nothing...om sure he will love it ,see ya soon buddy!
@@jimmyj4811 Congrats on your Thinline!! They are quite enjoyable and the big brother is no exception!! Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing!! Much thanks jimmyj…🎸👍
I have long wanted one of the GAO1-E, but just can't pull the trigger. I have a pair of the earlier dreadnaughts so that should keep me satisfied for a while. Nice to see them together. Another good video, Jimmy. Thanks for posting these.
Hey Jimmy... A few questions if you have the time. 1) Is the only difference between the thinline and full size the thickness? 2) Does Guitars Garden offer occasional sales or coupon code savings? 3) How much does the comfort cut on the front add to your enjoyment in playing it. Note: I've got a nice acoustic so I don't need, as much as want one of these specifically for the comfort cut. 4) There is a truss rod somewhere, yes? How about doing an acoustic shootout with one of these vs some other acoutics in yout arsenal? Thanks Jimmy!
@@floydthebarber9956 1. Yes…the body thickness and shape is a bit different between the two. 2. From time to time they do have “sale pricing”. These are currently on sale for $10 off.. 3. The comfort cut is done very well on these, and it does make a big difference in playing comfort. 4. Yes, truss rod adjustment is located just inside the sound hole. I think I have done some comparison videos with some of my others…?? At least I think I have…🎸👍
The big brother looks sharp just like his brother but I like the bridge and the fishman element is really nice I have the little brother and I like it a lot. But I keep saying that I am definitely not going to buy another guitar and then I bought one and my wife said she knew I would have to buy another one and I said well that’s it and she said until the next one and she was right and I just got my super strat in mahogany with a black top finish two hummers and a tap split and trim and I got to stop buying I don’t have a lot of guitars🎸 just 55 and I have run out of room but I love them all. As always I enjoy the music you play and how well you present the guitar I welcome the non hate that so many reviewers seem to like to put out here so thanks for that and your comments.

They sound almost exactly the same, the fuller body one just sounds a bit louder. I was concerned that the thin line would sound boxy, it to my ears it sounds fine-to-good.
