    Got to admit I thought A was Dread a bit surprised it was the FS9. Yup, might just get one.

    The FS9 has a bit more clarity, separation and depth with a bit brighter voice. Both are excellent sounding guitars. I like the FS9 for the song demoed.

    Great video, great guitars!! That OM is sweet!
    That FS9 and Yairi FYM66HD are close contenders for my dream OM.
    My Furch Master’s Choice Gc-CR is my Dream GA so I’ve got that covered (dreads are a no go for me, 64 year old shoulders).

  • @firecrackerheart

    they're both wonderful sounding-i cannot pick between them! OM=clear and balanced DREAD=scooped and boomy and loud......

  • @BradleyMcTaggart

    I guessed them right. Both are great guitars. I’ve been wanting to give the FG9 a spin.

  • @joshuahendrickson4854
    @joshuahendrickson4854 15 дней назад

    I’ve got a yamaha gd830 CE and it is a great sounding guitar. I’d have to go with the fg9. The fs9 also sounded very good as well.

  • @tothepoint7258
    @tothepoint7258 18 дней назад +2

    FS9 rings more. I think I like it better. Strings might make a difference.

  • @andersfernbach2399
    @andersfernbach2399 18 дней назад

    I love the comfort of an OM, but almost always think dreadnoughts sound better. Now that you're Martin dealers, maybe you'll get an M-36 at some point. Ive always wondered if that might be my perfect match of comfort without giving up the depth of bass. Thanks for the continued great content

  • @johnwashburn3793
    @johnwashburn3793 18 дней назад

    I bought a 00 about two years ago and I play it most often. I have a similar dreadnought (both Adirondack/mahogany).I truly appreciate the dreadnought more than ever. It is grand! Both are Martin guitars.
    I am considering the rosewood FS9 or F5X Red Label.

  • @bigmac51290

    It would be interesting to hear the FS9 compared to the Martin 000-18 and 000-18 Modern Deluxe

      @bigmac51290 as wood / would be, to hear the FG9r compared to the FS9r.
      ...and the FG9m to the FS9r // FG9r to the FS9m.

    @tedwasielewski9641 17 дней назад

    I preferred the sound of B better and was frankly relieved to see it was the FG 9 M... because that is what I own. That said the FS 9 sounded excellent and I am certain it is more comfortable to play than the FG, which is very important. If I could only own one? I'm not sure, I'd have to play them both for a while to decide which factors and sound would win out over time. I'd like to own both of course and maybe, some day... :) Thanks for the review and comparison!

  • @chullerism

    I preferred the sound of the FS9, but assumed it was the dread. I was shocked when I saw the reveal! I'd love to hear the EIR version.

    • @AcousticShoppe

      Thanks for sharing! We haven’t done back to back tone samples with the Rosewood version but we do have tone samples in this video! ruclips.net/video/Yjbrs1p0_7U/видео.html

    • @chullerism

      Now I see why Yamaha put medium strings on the FS9's... they're short 25" scale.

  • @timothybrawley7909
    @timothybrawley7909 18 дней назад

    I liked the FS for being a little on the more balanced side. At the same time, I like the stronger tone of the FG. Both are very close. I really would have to get one in my hands to give an honest opinion. They both are very good guitars.

  • @earlelfrink
    @earlelfrink 18 дней назад

    The FS9 has a cleaner more open tone and sound. It is the better sounding one to me. Actually I have always liked Yamaha guitars because they note more true than a lot of other brands.

  • @jmsamborski
    @jmsamborski 18 дней назад

    Well I guess I’m not surprised the American market whining (because they want every guitar to have Martin specs) forced Yamaha to switch the F series over to mediums. Fortunately I got my FG9M 2023 model with lights… but now an FS purchase means cutting a new nut and complete setup out of the box.

  • @dcallan1
    @dcallan1 18 дней назад

    The FS has the same volume or more in the audible range. The FG has much more low end and low-mid content. In an ensemble with a bass player, you would not hear much difference.

  • @albertpsaros
    @albertpsaros 18 дней назад

    and now ladies and Spassvögel
    the FG9r vs FS9r comparision, s.v.p.
    or better yet : comparing the FG9m to a FS9r
    ( I own the FG9m s.n. IKI040A )
    I intend on buying the FS9r, shortly.
    Merci vielmal.

    @nateday9328 18 дней назад

    Fs9 wins, in my book. I like the tone better...i think...the end of the song kinda swayed me to the middle. And i was wrong. I guessed that A was the fg

    one of these will be mine, I've got my mind set on it, now if my wallet will cooperate, the "smaller" guitar is really not all that small. OM stands for Orchestral Model.

  • @uvp5000

    I really liked the graphic instead of blurring out the instrument. Displaying a static graphic left me no option but to use my ears which is exactly what I was hoping to do, thank you for that. I thought guitar A was the FG9 and B was the FS9. I was wrong. This visual format for comparisons is top-notch and worth using from this video forward. As for Japanese builders not being U.S. builders, that should simply not be an issue. Yairi-Alvarez, Yamaha, et al are very high-quality instruments.
    The only concern a current or prospective guitar player should have is are they considering a musical instrument or something that visually approximates a guitar from an online retail giant that costs less than a parking citation? Poor quality garbage that is very inexpensive is garbage you've just paid to own. In the end, it is still garbage. With all the choices available when shopping for a musical instrument, choose the instrument that works best for you and enjoy playing it. Making music is why we purchase and play these gems.

    • @AcousticShoppe
      @AcousticShoppe  3 дня назад

      Thanks so much for the feedback! When I originally blurred the guitars, they were a bit too obvious because of the size change so I'm glad this worked out and gave a fair challenge. Also thank you for sharing your thoughts!

      @@AcousticShoppe I really like this channel. Although I realize tone samples must not be normally recognizable musical compositions, the samples here are quite useful. I like that John demonstrates several different picking attacks and some fingerpicking. The note and chord choices do give a sufficient representation of the demonstrated instrument. I'm pleased my comment proved helpful as any refinement also benefits viewers. Keep up the great work.
