I have an LL16D and an LL16/12. I love them both. Just increadible guitars. Also have an FG820 which gets played almost every day. Dont have an Fg5, and a few things Ive seen online of it would put me off. I want an FG850, and a CRF3, or whatever the little all solid "travel" guitar they make. Played one at the shop and fell in love! Thanks for the post mate.
Awesome brother Yamaha are just incredible, the main thing about the FG5 is the pickguard it's not real ebony it's a fake sticker but underneath that sticker is a standard plastic pickguard, I removed the sticker because it was very noisy with using a pick !
They both sound great. I think it comes down to preference. I like the strong fundamental tones of the FG5, but I like the rich, vibrant sound of the LL16 even more.
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 🙏
@@gavincarrollmusic7401 One thing is that the LL16 is my “bling” guitar…absolutely stunning to look at. I recently picked up an LS6 and those are amazing OOO size. Could not find an LS16 (all wood one) but I don’t think that makes so much of a difference in sound. Certainly I can’t tell.
@@ДмитрийКрасовский-л8шмне с палисандром не нравится.. Средних частот не достаёт… Для песен точно не подойдёт, ну и не для всех мелодий. Лучше краснуха.. У fg 3 мензура покороче и матовый лак,кому-то это лучше, удобнее и более тёплый звук. Лл 16 более звенящий… Подбирайте по своему стилю.
@@jimsteele2072 the ll16 is ridiculous value for money they are definitely one of the best guitars in the world in it's price category , incredible guitars
@@gavincarrollmusic7401 The Atmosfeel really needs some post EQ. I love the Anthem too. Arron Short's channel did a good episode on it. Love, love my Yamaha FGx5, even better after a good setup.

Can't really go wrong with either guitar Waynzwhirled6181
Both sound gorgeous man! I prefer the LL16 I think.
Very happy with both Davy I can't decide what one I prefer but one thing for sure is they won't be sold great guitars for the money 🤘
I like them both....
WoW!!! Both sound fantastic Gavin, , Don't let "Dould Lad" get his hands on them hahaha
😂😂 thanks Tiddles5 🎸🤘

Здравствуйте. Скажите в чём отличие fg-3 от LL- 16m? Или лучше будет. LL- 16 с палисандром.

I have the FSX5 and it is quite nice. I yave played LL16 but like the FSX5 better.
I think the five piece neck it what interests me the most on the LL. Otherwise, I like the FG.

I think the only things this video convinced for me is I now need both of these. I've been between fg3/5 and the ll16. yikes.
Good guitars but the Sound ist much too distorted to judge and compare them.
Suddenky you became left handed?🤔😁🎸
The atmosfeel pickup on the X is even better than the Anthem.
I didn't like it but that's just personal taste I really like the anthem pickup

Nice demo 💯💯
Thanks Eamonn 🙏🎸🎸
