    Now that you've done solid top and the laminate top "best value" acoustics - I'd be interested to see (hear?) how big a difference in sustain/resonance and tone there is between the best of the laminate tops vs the solid tops.

    Thanks to Meg's very through review, I bought the Fender Newporter Player, but in Candy Apple Red. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It's a great sounding guitar and very easy to play.

    The new Fender Sonora is a great solid top budget guitar as well. Small body and portable, but great sound. Only issue is trying find them in stock anywhere :)

    • @Jeymez
      @Jeymez 2 роки тому +1

      S D: ya the reason you can't find them easily is because, they sell out of them as soon they get them in. i didn't even know this guitar existed at first until about a month ago, but i knew about the Fender Acoutasonic, ever since they came out with that guitar they sold like hotcakes. then Fender came out with this new acoustic,
      and it's the same with that. Fender opened up a can of worms ever since they came out with the Acoustasonic, everyone wanted one based on the overall positive reviews it got. i haven't checked to see if they got any new one's of this acoustic guitar in yet, but im sure there's some by now.

      The tcy10e is a pretty electro.not the best sounding because a slimline and ply top.nice frets and action,1st class tuner and preamp.But a let down as a acoustic.

    Is it just me, or are the D and G string farther apart than the rest of the strings on the Fender guitar? I’ve never seen that error, even on a lower priced guitar! (Although the pick guard is also 1mm or so off-center on my Yamaha FD-01S, but that’s much less noticeable.) Edit: it seems like the A and D strings on the Washburn are too close to each other as well.

    I'd go for the tried-and-tested Yamaha FG800 even though the Washburn and Newporter are way more expensive.

    The Fender CC-60S in all mahogany with it's smaller concert size body
    is a better option for beginners than the CD-60S
    Or from the ones you have tested i would go for the folk sized Tanglewood.
    If you are a beginner please make the effort to try before you buy a guitar.
