I thought I was going to get a Taylor 110e today. Walked out with this guy in a sunburst. Sounds, looks, and feels wonderful at its price point. Resonant. Low action. Warm.
I walked in today to get a Taylor 214CE, all sold out and don't know when more are coming. I tried out everything and left with this in Sunburst also. It was just the best in the price range for my taste.
Great video! I dig the Warrant piece. Thanks Robert!
Nice sounding guitar Robert! I had a Yamaha years ago, I would buy one again now after hearing this.
Thanks! Nice electronics in that Yamaha. I have been thinking about getting one of those for a couple of years now. It was nice to see how it records.
My pleasure Robert. This just goes to show you what a well rounded guitar player you are. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was surprised to hear an acoustic coming out of their speakers. Maybe you should have done this a long time ago. I may throw in interesting and completely irrelevant things I find funny like Zakk and his new go to guitar, The Hello Kitty. But you really do have an excellent site! Keep up the great work! 10,000 plus musicians can't be wrong. Stoned maybe but NOT wrong.
I just bought one of my own. BEAUTIFUL SOUND!! Loud and bright on it's own. I also really like the sound plugged in. Some people may think it sounds a little unnatural but I personally enjoy the thwack and rich tone on the amp. I've owned six guitars and this is my favorite by far. I like how you play it
Yep, they are magnificent instruments. Yamaha makes great stuff!
Seriously the Yamaha sounds excellent. Nice to see you doing some shows on acoustics
Good video, looking forward to more acoustic stuff in the future. Only critique I have is that it would have been helpful if you'd noted the width at the nut(1.692").
Great video Robert, I have a nylon string, NTX700, unbelievable reliability, Yamaha has always made great acoustic guitars & pa gear, another great video, all thumbs up bro !!!
Thanks Dave! If I were going to buy a nylon string guitar, it would be an NTX700 and I wouldn’t even bother looking at anything else. Those are GREAT guitars!
Yamaha makes damn good musical instruments, their higher priced electrics are also great.Too bad they dont have the resale numbers to prove it.Good job buddy.✌😎🎸
Same guitar that Shinedown uses in their "In My House" 5 song concert. If you really want to hear what its capable of, give it a listen.
I've never been a fan of using the internal pickup system for recording, just too synthetic for me. Love the mic'd sound though!
Cheers from Finland! I've never owned a Yamaha acoustic but maybe I'll check one next time at the local shop... ; ) Thank you!
Yamaha acoustics are awesome!
Robert unplugged!
Have you have anything on a Roland blue cube tour 100watt head
Robert maybe its just my luck but I was really hyped about the Yamaha CPX 600 guitars after seeing all the great reviews
on You Tube. Up until I tried one at my local music store yesterday... UGG!! The one I tried had problems staying in tune and the harmonics were very bad and the neck needed some serious truss rod adjusting, I expected much more even the sales clerk commented on how awful it sounded and played when he tried it. It was so bad after 5min I'd had enough I didn't even bother plugging it in. Now I know some will say you can adjust the intonation and I agree on a Strat or Les Paul and most every regular
electric guitar there's plenty you can to to fix intonation issues. But over the years I've learned with acoustic electrics you can make minor adjustments but beyond that what you hear is what you get without spending more than a few bucks! So now I was kinda depressed til I checked Facebook marketplace I saw a like new Washburn WD10 SCEATB for sale for 150.00 I asked a few questions of the seller and decided to take a look... Wow! This is what a value priced electric acoustic should be, great action absolutely no issues with intonation or playability and when I plugged it in the onboard built in Fishman 301T didn't let me down
great sound. I gave the girl, who bought the guitar 3yrs ago the 150.00 she was asking and left, even though I felt like a thief. I've spent 30yrs performing on stage and I wont be afraid to use this guitar... Need I say more? Yamaha where did your quality control go? I sure hope this isn't regular thing I was very disappointed but Washburn saved the day!! Have you ever tried this guitar? Did you like it, or did I find a diamond in the rough?
You put out a great video as usual! You need to go to the Zakk Wylde plays N.I B. On a pink " Hello Kitty" guitar. Could this be the future voice and guitar for " Pink Sabbath" ?
Always interesting..
You forget the A1FM limited edition I bought Flame maple is purty.
Haven't heard that Uncle Tom's Cabin played in a while . thanks
Nice change of pace. You know though, from the demo I personally think the acoustics being miced. Sounds great. The electronics plugged in sounds ok. However that's usually the issues I usually see with most acoustics. Just plugging them doesn't sound no where near as good at just acoustically.
While we are talking acoustics, what I have been doing is using my majesty and the piezo pick up and sounds great live. Saves me changing guitars. However have you ever tried the boss AC3 pedal? If so what are your thoughts? Might you get one or do you have one in your pedal collection and do a review? I would really be interested on your thoughts. Yeah I am a metal guy but there are a lot of great metal songs with acoustics in them. When playing these songs live rapidly changing back and forth is difficult.
I’ve never minded the Boss Acoustic Simulators, but there’s plenty of other people out there that hate them. Might be worth doing a demo on one day.
Yeah I was wonder because some of the hate. Some seem to get them to sound great. The one thing I noticed is those that get them to sound great are using single coils. Which then I wonder do you need single coil or would could tapped humbucker work as well. I didn't pay attention if they were using neck or bridge or middle for those that had middles either. But that might have an impact on the tone you get from that pedal. Kind of like some people saying the metal zone sucked. All depends how you use it.
You are correct sir. I think I’m going to try to get ahold of one and see how it does in a demo. Stay tuned...
Robert do you know anything about the fender bass breaker 45 watt I like the 12 strings acoustic Martin or the other guitar
Just what I’ve seen in heard in demos.
which strings does it come with? I just broke a string and don´t know which strings to buy as replacement
I don’t recall what strings they put on them from the factory, but put your set of acoustic strings of choice on there. I like Elixir Polyweb Custom Lights, myself.
I have a question. How do set up your mic on the amps? Do you go into a mixer, then into a pa amp and speakers? We did not use the mics in front of cabinets back in the day, so if you could outline how you do it, I can add it in my home studio. Keep on pickin
Pretty simple, actually. I still record using all hardware, for the most part. I typically record using two mics, one on each speaker, which is why I also use 2x12 cabs. So a Shure SM57, Sennheiser e609, Audix i5, or Blue Encore 100i (all dynamic instrument mics) on one speaker, usually positioned at a 90° angle right where the dust cap meets the speaker cone, and another mic of some kind on the other speaker in about the same position. Sometimes I use another dynamic mic, sometimes I use a condenser, and sometimes I move it back a foot. I experiment quite a bit and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten the same sound twice. I also try to balance mic tones by using a bright mic and a darker mic, rather than two of the same. The SM57 is the industry standard, but it’s a pretty bright sounding microphone on its own, so I pair it with a darker mic and then blend to taste. Plug them each into a channel on my Tascam 24-track recorder, set the input and output levels accordingly, and off we go. That’s really all there is to it.
@@RobertWJackson Thank you ever so kindly. Now I have a trusted schematic for a plan. I trust my supplier, American Music Supply, however, they tend to push what they want to sell. Again, thank you.
Keep on pickin
My entire signal chain is always listed from start to finish in the credits at the end of all of my videos if you ever want to know what I’m using.
Hello Robert, if you see this may I suggest you make a video on your thoughts on the new Gibson CEO?
Stay tuned... 😉
I've owned this guitar for over 3 years and still love it. Only played 1 guitar under 1k that plays better than it. Amazing guitar play it everyday
They’re great guitars, aren’t they?
What is the better guitar you played?

@@armandomorales3809 what model?

Which gauge strings best for Yamaha A1R. 10 or 11.plz tell me Sir.
Which do you prefer?
@@RobertWJackson I prefer 10 gauge for Yamaha A1R. Normally which is the best?
Sounds like you found your answer, sir! If you prefer 10’s, listen to YOU. Who cares what I think?
How is this guitar compared to LL6?
I haven’t played an LL6 in over a decade. I couldn’t tell you.
Is this better than the FGX830?
Yep.
I had a Yamaha Classical and a Pacifica Tele about 25 years ago that were both stolen. They were both great guitars. Yamaha makes a good stuff. That A1R sounds GREAT through the mic.
I love this guitar. I’ll never get rid of it! I’m actually going to do another microphone comparison video soon to see which mic sounds best on it.
AC1R? Is it the same as the A1R?
No. The ac is concert size. This is dreadnought size body.
What JD Dorland said.
I bought this guitar.
I like the sound of that guitar and affordable price.
Recently I bought this guitar. And recorded one composition. I can share the music video if anyone interested to check.
Sure, post the link!
