Yup, the L-15 is a beast and I have one. Nice comparison and I fain would rate these L series as anything less than the best handmade acoustics coming outta Japan in the golden era......
Great sounding guitars.. which guitar do you prefer soundwise? I seen L5 model in actual, flawless but i never tried the sound. Which model is more expensive?
Hi dud! This guitar is all great! But what your own opinion? What one of it is better? I think it L5. Maybe because it older then 8 and 15. Anyway what your opinion?
L5 is solid Ezo Spruce Top with Laminated Coral Rosewood Back & Sides L8 is solid Ezo Spruce Top with Laminated Rosewood Back & Sides L15 is solid Ezo Spruce Top with Solid Jacaranda Back & Sides It's worth noting that gen. 1 of the L5, L6, and L8 all had solid back and sides. These are both gen. 2. You can tell because gen. 1 have fret markers starting from the third fret, whereas gen. 2 have fret markers starting from the fifth fret.
@@gregmonk1556 on ebay the ones with markers starting at 5th fret cost more and say they were made in the 70's. The one's made in the 80's have the markers starting on the 3rd fret. Which are the Early models?
You guys have my favorite sounding acoustic demos on the internet! Loved 1979 :)
Awesome demo!
Thanks so much and kudos on the great playing.
This helps greatly- thanks for taking the time to do these.

How does the L15 made in Taiwan compare to the one your in video?
Good question, I have the Taiwan version as well.
What are the differences between the model? I am trying to decide on buying a vintage Yamaha l series guitar.
Maybe solid or laminated that I know L-8 is Top solid, L-15 All Solid :)
L5 is solid Ezo Spruce Top with Laminated Coral Rosewood Back & Sides
L8 is solid Ezo Spruce Top with Laminated Rosewood Back & Sides
L15 is solid Ezo Spruce Top with Solid Jacaranda Back & Sides
