830 way better.

Definitely the Echo. It has a clearer higher sound.

I would have said if u can't decide, pick what's cheaper. Which one did you keep?

FG830

I decided to go with the yamaha but the orangewood was just so cool looking with the unique fret inlays….. such a hard decision…

I like the sound of the Yamaha best

orngewood sounds better

Change the sadle. pins and neck to bone on the yamaha and it sounds better than a lot of martins.

The Orangewood was more fruity.

You can't go wrong with a Yamaha FG830. I own one, and it is fantastic.

Can we all just stop debating and agree that Yamaha makes incredible guitars that blow other brands out of the water at a 1/4 the price?

The orange wood brand is tope five 5 for beginners. I learned to play on a 1700s harmony 😏 action so high they used it in basic military training for the crawl under instead of barb wire. My hand was so strong it's ego was larger than my own. You guys are at an advantage that's for that fire burning in your loins. I've been playing for 27 years. If you wanted to learn a song you would use tab imagine learning over the hills and far away. Yeah. I did have the upper hand being able to play by ear. Eric Clapton's unplugged album inspired me to learn. Tears in heaven. I struggled for a while. My advice to beginners. Build muscle memory before anything else stretching strength and consistency. Good luck! Y'all play every day But don't be hard on yourself. Take rest,recop and Hit it hard again!!!

I vote Yamaha

I love the Orangewood.... until I hear it up against something else, like this Yamaha. Yamaha makes a darn fine instrument. As a brand, it's not very cool, at least in my mind. I mean, no one is lining up to own a Yamaha. But you can't go wrong with a Yamaha, no matter the price point. Just really well made, and great sound.

wow i got to get a yam,mmy

Echo sounds better

Main reason I liked this video: you played “Let That Be Enough” by Switchfoot. 😂

switching to the echo sounds like turning on a high pass filter

Lakers?? psssh

The Yamaha is @ on par w/$7g martin in bottom end n mids!

its May 2022, id personally go w/Orangewood, reason is my VOICE is very midrange, and the lighter sounds of OW would be a better fit imho........YMMV

Everyone's saying the Yamaha sounds better didn't notice that the guy went further away from the hole with the orange wood

I am a Yamaha fan - but to my ear the Orangewood wins - Two great sounding guitars and GREAT playing!!!

I had a chance to play on Yamaha FG830 in store and I can say that you can't grasp how it sounds live through UA-cam. It sound much better, it is balanced, harmonious and spacious sound. I could only compare it to FG820 which misses that spaciousness and harmony. It is more narrow sound, and bass is evidently lacking.

I didn't find any video comparing the guitars playing in line, to know which preamp is better

The orangewood sounds dead by comparison. Surprising.

Yamaha sounds much fuller. The Orangewood is a little honky and thin. In this price range it’s really tough to beat Yamaha, this is their jam.

I hope you got rid of the Orangewood lol… it was probably embarrassed after this.

Nice playing bro ✌🏼

I guess you have to ask yourself why you bought one after owning the other, and if the newer one met that need? For me I'd keep both for a few reasons: Neither is really definitively better or worse than the other. Both were around the same dollar value and the cheaper of the two would be a good "traveling" guitar in case anything happened. The Yamaha in my opinion has a slightly more vintage, classic or expensive look. Because of the name and look of the Yamaha its going to retain a higher value. You're not going to get that much out of either in trade and you'll likely regret losing it. I've traded and sold so many guitars over 40 years and I regret every single one of them. So easy to just store one in the back of a closet for a while and see if you can live without it, and it'll be like new when you finally pull it back out and play it.

Hope you kept the Yamaha.

Funny all the fanboys that own Yamahas all think it sounds better...what a shocker!

Pants from Thailand

Fg (800-850)series, best guitars !.. thanks..

Yammie all the way. OWood was a little sharp/tinny for my taste, while Yamaha sounded full and rich but still chimey and balanced. Build quality & playability over looks any day. Good choice.

I have the fg820 mahogany back and sides awesome guitar!!!! You can't hardly beat any yamaha acoustic guitar!!!! Amazing

The mic isn’t in the same spot, so it’s flawed.

Fantastic review! No BS. Orangewood takes it

The Yamaha has a nicer tone.. very similar to a Martin HD 28

You people need to listen with a good pair of ear buds the sound of both guitars are virtually the same. Give credit where it's due. Orangewood is a startup company, two brothers from Korea and is providing a quality instrument at a below market price. That being said, The Echo Torrefied Spruce Live is a much better purchase than it's sister Echo Live if you have the budget. Remember quality strings make a huge difference. Orangewood does not ship with the best quality strings. Many have reported after changing strings experienced a much richer tone overall.

Thank you for this video! I REALLY appreciate it. I ordered an Orangewood Brooklyn and am VERY disappointed. I will be sending it back due to neck issues! But now I know which guitar to buy instead. Plus, many of the comments below like the Yamaha better. Hope you kept the Yamaha FG 830.

Not an echo fan but I’d you but it up against the Morgan....no comparison. Orangewood all the way

I prefer the Yamaha...

.....The comments are nuts. The sound was indistinguishable..Blindfold them, then see what they say.....$70 gig bag...free set- up...coupon code and you have a no- brainer purchase...which is what I just did...

Orangewood looks nice but I prefer the Yamaha. Better sound

The FG830 is a great guitar for the money. Love mine.

YAMAHA...ALL THE WAY AROUND... HIGHS LOWS CLEARER GREAT GUITAR

Very close sound in this demo. I had to wash my eyes out after seeing the "Lakers" T-shirt.

i dont play guitars, idk how i got to this page lol. but to me the yamaha sounds better like its crisp.. the orangewood sounds distorted or muffled when he was playing it anyways which one is better??

may be Yamaha sounds better because its a Rosewood body vs Pau Ferro body?) Most likely Yamaha has a better bracing system.
