Sire is my pick, I've played one and it sounds and feels good.

[madgeniusmusic]

Ben's abilities on the acoustic guitar genuinely scare me. Also that Sigma sounded sublime. The Sire was nice too, but I'd have the Sigma, head and shoulders above the rest for me.

[avenue.]

The Sire sounded best to me on video with the Ibanez a close second. It would probably come down to how the neck played for me. Great playing gents!

[TheJamison]

Andertons needs to start supplying Eastman. Your really missing out on some top quality acoustics. Plus Yamaha is definitely missing from this video lol

[MattyK-USA]

The Larry Carlton model jumped right out at me. Great dynamic range, and big full dreadnought low end there too. Then again, as a Martin D-35 player maybe my bias is coming out 🤔🙂

[thedonal]

I really liked the open sound of the Faith, but then I've played a Faith Neptune for nearly 10 years so there you go!

[bryanitz]

Pete and Ben on a thumbnail....must open!! Thanks for putting a big smile on my face this morning in Texas!

[geralr]

Ben looks so healthy now! Good for you! Please share your secrets haha

[lfeson]

I’m a bit biased towards the Faith Naked Venus, as I own one, but just to correct you it has all solid wood, top back and sides. For the money it’s an amazing guitar.

[eaganlickiss]

More creativity in 30 seconds than I’ve had in my entire 10 years on the guitar 🙃😂

[mikeclarke]

Outro jam was like the Faces back in the day - how wonderful is that!

[macanoodough]

You can play Ramble On anytime your Puerto Rican heart desires...
And I got the AG model from a couple years ago from Alvarez. Love, love, love it.

[richardsandson]

Literally no conclusion, which is fine because they are all lovely. And this is every guitarists dilemma....We want them all!

[danparks]

I have an Ibanez AAD 100 OPN, an open pore dreadnought. It’s a cheaper guitar at €350 but love the easy play neck and great feel. Sounds rich without having to be.... nice to see some acoustic stuff for a change!

[mdenison]

my faith Venus is one of the best acoustics ive ever owned and cost me 475 new. absolute stunner :)

[MrTrubadurable]

I don’t like boomy acoustics, so to me the Faith sounded the best! Most easy to fit in a mix I believe.
Sire an Ibanez after that.

[loveboost]

I was all set to be the biased Ibanez owner. But I did a blind test and just listened and chose the Sire both times. I was easily able to hear the Ibanez too. I don’t even have that model but maybe something with the thermo aged tops that they sound so much alike even with mine being a 000 shape.

[jdgretz]

For me, it's definitely the Larry Carlton model. I own two acoustic guitars, an Andrew White nylon string acoustic electric, and a '63 Gibson Hummingbird that I've had since '64, and that is the standard against which I judge acoustic guitar tones. The Carlton compares nicely to the Gibson.

[TheMusicfan]

That was awesome guys! Could you do another one with £900-1, 200 budget?
