C + C (music factory) you two are IMHO the most chilled, unpretentious, informed and trustworthy reviewers on the 'Tube. Thought it was worth saying. 👍

[blackmax]

I was kicken around a guitar store one day when a FSX5 cought my eye... 100 cords later I brought it home. I play it as much as my 914ce. I play 3 hrs a day writing my own music... trust me they are amazing

[andreaschristo]

I got the FSX5, partial thanks to these guys. It's a forever guitar, no doubt.

[teladan]

Got an open-box FSX5 after hearing a Chris/Cooper review. Fantastic guitar for the price. No regrets.

I recently went to a famous guitar shop to buy my first American Strat and came home with a 214ce Plus instead. I picked up the Taylor and started strumming, and I couldn’t put it down. It’s a fantastic guitar! Layered rosewood back and sides? Who cares, it sounds and feels great!

[BillAnciaux]

I picked up a Yamaha FGX5 based on your review years ago. Love it.

[robertogerosa]

Got a Yamaha FSX5, not even comparable to others in this price range: woods, manufacturing, electronics... It's just on another level!

[spacetygrss]

Just got the FG5. It immediately blew me away. I love this guitar as much as, maybe more than my much more expensive guitars.

[jeffberdin]

I’m so disappointed Cooper didn’t demo the FGX5! 😢. I love that guitar

[cliftongardner]

Got a deal on an FGX5 and it’s on its way to me now. I’m super hyped! I’m hoping it will be a “forever” guitar for me.

[bongocuba]

Alamo sold me the FGX5 last year and It’s simply the best buy I’ve ever made for guitars.

[theapplepaul]

Worth the whole video to hear the amazing playing on the Furch.

[PeachyMcMuffin]

Great list. A (more than) honorable mention is the Alvarez Laurette series.

[Michael-Willoughby]

I wanted an FGX5 so badly for years, but decided it probably wasn't for me. Found a used one for half of the current retail price. Now I mourn those lost years. The FGX5 is a better playing/sounding guitar than my Gibson J45.

[roberttosa]

Fantastic video. As a player looking to move up from a Yamaha FG730s (which I love) you have given me much to think about. The fact that you are both amazing players as well as guitar geeks with deep dive knowledge of the brands and their products instills respect and trust that your reviews and opinions are well founded from an extensive experience and hands-on perspective. Thanks so much for producing and sharing this video. ✌️

Guitars under 1000$ “to give away or have around to travel”, what? That would apply to 100$ but definitely not a 900$ guitar 😂 I have a FGX5 and it’s magical, love it.

[MiniShowProductions]

the martin 00015 is a really great guitar had mine a good few years now still love it like i did they day i got it

[williamhutchings]

Haha no "how could you leave out..." comment but I have become an Eastman fan after recently buying their lowest-priced all-solid wood model for $600 to be my "campfire guitar" and am so impressed with the quality I got for that price. So they probably have something worthy in the $1000-$2000 range but I have no doubt these were all great choices.

[guitarts]

Yamaha LS-TA, LL16 are also amazing, Alvarez Masterworks and Laureate are just killing it in this price range, and also Dowina from Slovakia, hand made small shop, awesome in this price range

[happytrails]

First guitar was FS830 and then bought LL16D. Would someday love to buy FSX5. Amateur couch and campfire player here these are wonderful fit.
