    This blows all the big names out of the water.. walked into the store to drop $2k on a Martin or Taylor, walked out with this and plenty of spare change.. It's amazingly good. Actually all the Yamahas are punching over their weight.

    I think they need to point out that it takes AA batteries as opposed to 9volt. AA's are less expensive and easier to get. You run out of battery power at a gig and don't have a spare, chances are you will get your hands on AAs before a 9 volt. Just saying. Also a great review. I just pulled the trigger on one after seeing a review by Paul Davids. I'm so stoked.

    I have watched several of your reviews and really respect the choices made. I am an amateur that picked up playing guitar when i was young but dropped it after so many years. I had a Takamine EF-325 -SRC i bought in the 90's without trying first and always found it cumbersome to play for my body size. After watching a couple of your reviews on guitars I could not afford a Gibson.Martin Or Taylor but have always loved Yamaha Products overall . I Have owned 2 Yamaha Side by sides and are Top shelf quality.I recently got the Urge back being 60 now and Gave my son the Takamine and Bought An APX 1000 after watching your video on the APX 600 and trying an APX 700 11 which i had ordered first but changed to the 1000 when i got a bit of extra cash come my way for my 61st birthday in Feb/2019. When i went to pick up the 1000 i tried the FTSA in Vintage and had to have one then and there so i put one on layaway . Don't have it yet but soon will have it paid for. Had the APX 1000 for a month now and i just love it. Now i am getting the CSF3M parlor for Christmas this year. I don't even have to try that one as i know it will fit my body size. Just want to thank you for helping me make my choice. I went Yamaha for all 3 as it is affordable for me and always great quality and sound.on their instruments IMO. I live in A small town in Newfoundland Canada with not much action so your review vids are great for people like myself.

    I walked into White House Music fully intending to buy my first Martin. I tell the guy about my FG800 and how I felt it was too big for my small frame, and he hands me the FSTA. Beautiful, beautiful guitar. Perfect for smaller players and beginners. Also compared to the Martin I was handed, it was so much better. Highly recommend, it’s a great Christmas Present.

    Hi, so... essentially it is a yamaha fs820 with the TA system? or there are other differences (acoustically speaking) ? Also, the sunburst in the dreadnaught model seems more brownish, is that correct or is some weird visual effect?

    If you see the Tony Polocastro commercial before the vid, Avoid it like the PLAGUE. He will promise to show you this and that, "any minute now", and "before we get started" and "be sure to have a notebook handy to take notes" it's all bullshit. It is an hour long tease for his "program" he is hawking. There is ZERO useful information, and a bunch of verbal drool that is a waste of your time. You have been warned.
    These Yamahas are great guitars and a tremendous value, by the way.

    I don't know if its just me but went to a local music store played the real expensive guitars on the wall Martins , Taylors and even a Gibson well over $1500 . I was not impressed at all with the way most or all sounded or played just not comfortable for me. I pick up TA Yamaha and other model Yamahas FG-830 it was like a pair of old sweat pants. They played great, felt really good , action/neck and intonation spot on for less then $700 ! just because something cost way more does not mean its better.

      ^^^ Exactly this. As comparisons go it's pretty useless, a fingerpicked song is always going to sound hugely different (and probably quieter) than a plectrum plucked song. Even on same guitar they'd sound very different.
