The Best $2000 Acoustic Guitar You've Never Heard Of

This is the story of my 2-month search for the best $2000 acoustic guitar... and how it found me instead.

As one of the first (lucky) owners, this is my honest review of this awesome yet relatively unknown guitar that launched at around the start of 2019, the Maestro Original Series Singa IR.

I bought it at full price as soon as I heard it play in person. Not a sponsored video.

To my ear, the Maestro was by far the better sounding. You made a good purchase.

Thank you for making such a great video. I could not be happier with my purchase of a Maestro Victoria IR CSB.

Thank You for this informative review on this brand which I did not know of... As I search for aother acoustic to complement my current quiver of 4 acoustics ( 1993 Taylor 814C, 2021 Taylor Koa 224C, 2005 Takamine EG45C, 2020 Takamine CP7MOTT ) I will definitely look up Maestro Where I live in New England my local shop carries the brands by Alvarez, Taylor, Yamaha, Guild, Seagull, Eastman.. About 1-1/2 hour drive I can go to Music Emporium in Wellesley Thanks for the heads up..

Thumbs up.
I own my self bought Pre Lawsuit Vintage Ibamez iF 950 m 1976. Like the Martin mahoghany sides & back solid spruce top. Headstock mahoghany with enony fretboard, & d'Adario strings....
Sounds from the beginning heavenly and now after 47 years just wow....

My holy grail acoustic guitar? Lowden. I'll probably never obtain one, but good grief... so good.

My wife is from Marinduque and I just might bring one back with me when we go there to visit her folks. Good to see someone has done their homework. Hey AG please come and visit me and check out what I do to help people get started playing guitar. Anyone who knows their foundation of chords and some f-picking or strumming can gain a lot of experience while having fun. Your guitar looks and sound great, but with every guitar it always comes down to playability. The Plex setup ensures a fantastic playability and I think it makes "perfect sense" to have that guarantee your guitar is perfect when you purchase it. I love that.

I absolutely love my Takamine TSF48 Santa Fe. At the time I purchased it list at $1999. I'm not sure if what it would run today.

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie. What a haunting intro, no matter the instrument.

Great review! Amazing! Greetings from Belgium!

[routhless]

Really enjoyed the excellent review as I am in the process of purchasing to move up a level in sound. Sound like we have some of the same inspirational artists, and sound they get with their guitars. I will defiantly check into this manufacture soon. Thanks, and I am now subscribed to your channel

McKinley and Marr from Canada are pretty good,

[joebubbit]

Recording King Tonewooid Reserve Elite looks great for half the price

A video on acoustic guitars and I didn't even hear Wonderwall once!

[jayjohnson]

Great review, man. Never even heard of these guys before but she sounds lovely. I’m sure she’s really opened up in the last year

[kelvinpell]

Excellent video. Concentrating on the guitars and using simple chords and songs to demonstrate them

[Tonedog]

I like the way you play the guitars side-to-side. Nice video.
