Walked in to the music with cash in my pocket to purchase a New Martin D-18. Walked out of music store with a New Yamaha FGX5 and $1200 in my pocket. I couldn't be more happy.
Similar to me, i tried a bunch of martins but not one of them was catching me in the package of playability, feeling, sound The yamaha has it all and i love it
This video, and the sound, are accurate as to what to expect from an FGX5 (right out of the box). Mine is a few years old now, and really getting played in. I still want a D-18. With my owning this guitar, it’s not a need. Simply a want.
That guitar is simply bad ass. It's Hog body and 25" short scale and it's bracing just pulls out this dynamic, vocal and emotive mid-range that just rises and falls with they dynamics of his playing. I will admit that I am a Gibson Les Paul snob ...and I want to buy a Martin HD28 ($3200.00 USD), but why would I when I can get this for half of that price. I wish they offered this with a gloss or nitro finish. Amazing tone and dynamics.
@@tarksahinoglu4585 I nearly bought an A5R earlier this year, but took too long deciding and it sold. It was fabulous. However, the FGX5 is even better. Bought it on the spot when I tried it. Everyone who hears it or plays it is gobsmacked at how good it is.
Came for the guitar, stayed for the playing😀🙌

keep the fg and get a 00-18
Now that's be honest. And having GAS. I have it to. Great guitar and GAS as well. You are not alone.
These guitars have the most complete projection of overtones in their sustain that can be found.
What a choice of tunes to show this guitar! The playing sounds great and the guitar is speaking to me. Well done man!

Love my FGX5.
Vive la Bretagne !
I was going to get the Taylor 414cer but man the reviews for this thing are phenomenal!!
Got it last week. I love the guitar!
This is a very nice looking and sounding guitar, certainly worth the money.
Really nice recordings!
wow..just wow. this is quality instrument
Another beautiful demo. Most demos on youtube are frankly crap.
Amazing sounding instrument looks amazing to.
If I can bring my wife along with my thoughts, I have this guitar. If all fails, I at least have this video for some good material.
damn, this is one hell of a guitar! dope playing!
Sweet playing fella, great balance with the Yamaha. Gentle but vocal. Big thumbs up from me. Really torn between the FSX5 and this one. Dilemma 😅
Did you choose😁I wonder how much I get from FS, considering how much I don't get from what gives the shape of FG.
Yep, I’d buy it.
Great 😊♥️🙏
Any tabs or tutorials for these demos?
I think I’ve seen you play the Larrivee D-03 and L-03 as well. Any comparison thoughts?
Is this eq’d? Great playing
sounds great!!
Would i be right in saying this is a flatpicking guitar rather than fingerstyle?❤
The FSX5 is better for fingerstyle.
Has anyone compared this with yamaha a5r a.r.e.?
I have an A5r and have owned a A3M. I would say the FGX5 is a warmer sounding guitar. I have a FSX5 also def warmer than A5r.

Don't buy one of these if you own other more expensive guitars. It will ruin everything.
I don't have any expensive guitar yet. So I choose this one !
Looks like this demo is just the acoustic tone being picked up by microphones. Not the plugged in tone
It is lol
Great guitars but FG800 is better for the money.😊
