Yamaha creates amazing products. From pianos and trumpets to engines and motorcycles, the three tuning fork logo has graced numerous products that bring joy.

As a follow up to the popular FG9 Japanese made guitars, Yamaha has launched new smaller body models with with Rosewood or Mahogany back and sides. Like the FG9 models that preceded them these new FS9 guitars offer near perfection in craftsmanship and are a joy to play and hear. This isn't hyperbole - see for yourself.

A Rosewood Topped Acoustic Guitar?! Can Furch Make it Work? Furch Yellow Dark Series
Being left handed, high-end Yamahas seem to be unavailable to me. Does anybody know if they can be ordered?
Do it!
I didn't hear anything much more compelling in the 300 series and above ( besides a 324 mahogany model), so I got the 224ce-k, and I find it full sounding.
Did they ever make underrated gems videos ?
I don’t own one borrowed a buddies enough times that for the price, if I’m ever in the market for a high gain HH modern (oh hell let’s drop the act it’s a prs) this is it.
Fantastic demo, as always. I'm set to buy the standard plus, mainly because I want the ash pink color. Both of these models sound extremely close. The business between Japan & Indonesia is not a factor. I've had Indonesian built guitars that were super. And, I've had a few outstanding Japanese built guitars. But in this case, I'm going with my color of choice. Yamaha has designed two very similar guitars & the difference is rather unnoticeable .
Awesome guitar
Cooper can make any guitar sound good!!! Mellow and sweet. I could listen to him play for hours.
I got the neon(ish) yellow, because it was clearanced. It's awesome in its awkwardness. If I paid full price, I would have gone for the motorcycle green.
Omgoodness....lololol. thats exactly what I'm doing, what videos and looking at specs online. It's so much fun, and your videos are the best.
I’ve been waiting for these 😃 I have an FGX5 and it’s awesome! Can’t wait to have one in my hands!
After all these months, I’m just watching this demo and I’m totally impressed. Is the playability/action easier than the D18 or the D28?
What song is being played at 8:30 through 9:20? Beautiful playing. I have to know it!
1k Epiphones?…😂😂😂
Just ordered mine from guitar center. Will pick it up next week. Was surprised how small it was but how big was the sound. Originally ordered the koa but was underwhelmed by the cheap looking dark flat finish. Guess I’m old school and need that glossy rosewood look
I own two, one six and one twelve. They are favorites of mine.
The 61’ sounds 10x better
I just got bent by Amazon 2024 Paige Original $43.00. Dang
Love my Yamaha acoustic quality guitar like it more than my Martin
I think for $1300 I go with an Alvarez laureate or md70 all real wood
Love the guitars but I really come here to listen to your playing 🤩
what EQ adjustments do you make to the amp? Thx
What a fantastic video! Tonewoods can feel a bit conceptually woowoo af times, so I love the clear and *scientific* explanations of what actually constitutes tone. Thanks for this -- and for my newfound, deeply excruciating yearning for a cedar top guitar 😢
Taylor is much clearer, more balanced, without masking. Martin sounds good enough, but there is some enhancement in the bass. And the Taylor is always better playability, you can hear how much better it sounds just by clear sound and no buzzing. 314ce clearly the winner.
I have a Yamaha C2 piano, made in Japan, and can attest to the beauty of the engineering -- you can try to flip the keyboard cover shut and it will slowly and smoothly lower itself into place via some cleverly-made, hidden mechanism . On the guitar front, I have am LJ26. Not nitro like these, but Japanese made and it has the most fantastically smooth and comfortable neck, boomy sound, sustain for days. Small tendency to some fret buzz though.
Hey, 2024 here, I bought a Recording King RO standard, got it set up professionally, and it is a killer, a Martin Killer.
Actually sounds better than most Taylors to me. Deeper and richer.
I agree with you....there is a lot that sounds better than Taylor in my opinion.
Hello there. Bought a HD28 today in Holland. (TFOA) -A used one from 2022. Nothing changed since 2022 on the HD28 correct? Should be same as the 2024/2025?
I dunno - M-36 trys to do everything, kinda achieves it, but it loses unique character of some more popular Martin models. Just my take through a cellphone
The rosewood has more bass....deeper sounds. I'd guess you can depend on top line craftsmanship from Japan....the Chinese L series guitars can be flawed at times (I have a LL16)...even if they sound good. Neck and fret problems...Sometimes they're great. Lots on of tension in the neck of the L series instruments if it's a loud rich one...I've played a lot of them and the best sounding ones are usually harder to play. Even with a 2mm action.....is the FS9 easier to play? I have 5 yamaha's.
They would pair great for recording, but solo: Hummingbird all the way!
My advice, play every guitar in the store, don't look at price or make! Buy the one that sounds the best to your ears regarding the way you play! My friend payed a lot of money for his Martin and he sounds great playing it! I have an old Seagull cedar top half the price and I love it. When we play together, that's when ppl turn their heads and say 'wtf was that!' But we also have distinct styles. He has fantastic technique and I, due to arthritis but good ears, fill in athmospheric voids in shrewed ways. Be different, be creative!
Why over priced!!!
Do these have the same neck shape as the FG/S 5 Red Label series?
Wish the Indonesia guys added ss frets on these gems
I own the Martin O-18 and switched out the factory bone nut and saddle and plastic bridge pins. Replaced with Fossil Walrus Ivory nut and saddle and bridge pins. Wow it sounds like a Martin OM-42 mini me. I would own either of these guitar's and replace the factory with the Fossil Walrus Ivory nut,saddle and bridge pins. They would sound like a Martin OM-42 and save alot of monies.
Wonder why there’s not a setting for all pickups at the same time!?
One of the most (if not the most) underrated guitar brands. Their high end Japan made guitars are quite exceptional. Didn't James Taylor use one on his first album with Fire and Rain, Going to Carolina Etc?
Didn't know Legolas played guitar
I’ve had multiple Yamaha guitars. All are awesome. Whenever someone asks me what guitar to buy I suggest the FG800. It’s still one of my main acoustics. I’m thinking of getting a LR baggs anthem for it. I know it’s crazy putting a pickup that costs the same as the guitar it’s going in, but it’s just that good.
Nice guitar nice sound but ES 2 is very disapointing
martin own
Cooper sounds amazing
It is a common misconception that Martin pioneered the steel string guitar. In fact even though you could special order a Martin with steel strings as early as 1910 the first production Martin with steel strings was the 2-17 in 1922 the same year that Gibson made the the archtop jazz L5. Lyon & Healy (the company that became Washburn) was selling Parlor guitars with metal tailpieces that went around the bottom of the guitar since the 1890s. Hundreds of these guitars were sold through mail order catalogs and they were being strung with steel strings that were available from the end of the nineteenth century. End users did this to get more volume out of the instrument. The first people to use steel string acoustic guitars were the blues players from the delta but of course our history books tell us that it was white men who invented them.
How much please?
If only they said. 13:52 Oh, they did.
Thanks
Wow, they are finally out, and perfect!
oh cool, I was looking for something like this from Yamaha. great review as always.
I have the FG9M. Initially I thought the FS9R would be my next guitar when it launched… but the longer I’ve had the FG9, I see no reason to get an FS. The FG9 is so well balanced with such an incredible dynamic range, it covers any style of play. Unless you are someone who prefers a smaller body for comfort/size, I’d recommend getting the FG9 instead because it does it all.
I have the Blonde TM Twin. I run my Tele’s & my Pedal Steel through it. It’s AWESOME on both guitars.Its also lightweight which is HUGE for me because of 4 back surgeries. If I were just playing Tele’s I would’ve bought this TM Deluxe.
