yahama FG730S

[SaraZobel]

THANKS!!! :) I'm debating this one or the LL6 Yamaha????

Please respond!!!

[midtful]

deep bass . i like yamaha tone.

[jun19020987]

What song is this Sir? I like the tune and what strings are you using? I just ordered this guitar today..

[jun19020987]

I've been trying to decide from Yahama fg700, Fg720, and this one Fg730. Only reason why I didn't the first two is because they don't come with tobaco sunburst, But this video just made me make my mind and will be getting this very guitar first thing in the morning. Thanks for the great demo.

More power Jun

[drinkcocaable]

dude is there a tab or something else. i want to play this song . sound really great @gibsonguitarplayer

[RocknLester2011]

Very nice sounds!! Yamaha has always made some fine acoustics and the dollar amount really doesnt matter anymore!you should be paid for the playing!

[hoot48]

Not bad

[RocknLester2011]

Well.... so much for looking at 1000 dollar Martins or Taylors.. this Yamaha sounds stunning!!!

[Lawand68]

@RocknLester2011 Absolutely, I was going to buy a Taylor 210eg, cash in pocket, I looked at some used guitars waiting for my friendly Guitar Center dude, Joey, I just happened to pick up a used FG700S, started playing and went WTF???? Kept playing and immediately upon finishing picked up a 210eg and hated it. This guitar is $139 used at GC, not a scratch on it. 199 new and GC always has some coupon going. Very Nice and saved 560 dollars.

PEACE

[zatoichiable]

I bought a second hand fg720. It so difficult and painful to play chords on it. I hope to change the string to lighter ones. Can you advise me on this one?

[dannylightning]

nice playing bud,

[abc123gpl]

Very nice !

[makemarker]

This guitar sounds awesome, especially for it's price. Good playing.

[jhhamm3]

James Taylorrrrrrrr

[jhhamm3]

James Taylorrrrrrrr

[harr1s0n2]

that guitar sounds like it costs way more than 300 fat ones...i'd take it over a $2000 guitar anyday....less to worry about as far as banging it up and stuff

[ILiveForScience]

I love how bright this guitar sounds!

 Beautiful playing too : )

[gc241]

Nice job on the JT songs.

[neojean0226]

I bought it waching this movie.thanks

[lopesflavio]

beautifull dude ! congratulations !! keep it up !!

[discipleinlight]

Wow that sounds like the best Guitar I ever heard! Sold mine last year sometimes regret it.

[SirOchsen]

Is that a komposition of u?

or is it a a song :) (i mean the first thing u played)

I like it so much <3

[jeserty6]

@SirOchsen It's called "Fire And Rain" by James Taylor

[superspence7]

fire and rain. nice choice.

[jeserty6]

VERY Beautiful Playing!

[paintedson]

Thanks for the heads up Hoop. I purchased a 730s and love it. Probably will upgrade to the 16 one day myself.

[Hoopermazing]

I sold my FG730S, but I don't miss it...

Because I replaced it with an LL16 (which is basically just an all solid wood FG730S with an Ebony fretboard and gold hardware)

[thedarkcrab]

I have a standard dread case but it's way too tight. I guess the lower bout is bigger than most on this thing.

[paintedson]

Thanks for the replies. What case did you use?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

@paintedson just an old case I had around.

[gibsonguitarplayer]

everything was stock

[paintedson]

Is this the stock saddle?

[paintedson]

Great stuff man. Trying to make up my mind between this and the LL6.

[Hoopermazing]

@paintedson - The LL6 isn't worth the increased price. It's still got the laminated sides and back. For a couple of hundred bucks more, you can get an LL-16.

[marceloiacovone]

fuck your awesome! that is so hypnotic

[funnytoru]

thank you, I got it. I'll buy one....

[funnytoru]

Dunlop heavy pick means thickest one?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

yes, I use dunlop tortex 1.0 blue in color

[paultasker6]

Lovely, deep and resonant sound. I'd like an instrument like this - nice accurate playing too!

[MrRoofert]

Epic play. Wonderful sound of that guitar, i want one as well! My ´starter´ guitar isn´t sufficient anymore. You would recommend the Yamaha? I believe its sound is warm and 'happy'

[gibsonguitarplayer]

These are wonderful guitars. Easy to play, great tone, great quality.

[onzki]

Hi, where is your guitar manufactured/handcrafted? I'm planning to get a 720s or 730s in my place..though I'm a bit in question on manufacturer. great playing by the way

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Far east somewhere.

[oscartmic]

You are a really good player, I would have expected you to be playing a Taylor etc. What made you get the FG730S?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

I've had 3 Taylors. I have small hands and the wider nut width was hard for me. The Yamaha sounds 95% as good and such a great price, no concerns about taking it out. Elixir nanoweb strings.

[flapane]

@gibsonguitarplayer Small hands here. If I got it well, this nat should fit perfectly, isn't it?

[rekterx]

I've had the FG730S for a couple of months. I am a beginner. Are you using light or medium nanowebs?

BTW, one of my goals is to one day play this piece. You've inspired me.

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Nano Web lights phosperbronz

[mutsnuts1989]

What strings do you use?

[phoeneous]

Are you using the mic from the camera or something else? Sounds great! I have an Epiphone PR-150 and its had its run for a beginner guitar. This might be my next one. Thanks!

[gibsonguitarplayer]

yes, recorded from my digital camera.

[Heyyodude893]

This guitar does have a gloss finish doesn't it?

[LBBification]

Wow. That was great. I'm thinking about getting that same guitar. What's that song called at the beginning?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Fire and Rain...James Taylor

[davidtheguitarman]

great tone!! how it sounds with martin strings?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

I'm sure it would sound darker.

[retro198908]

Post some more vids of you playing this Yamaha Fg730s.

[retro198908]

Im really wanting this guitar and even though I bought a Seagull S6 a few weeks ago and dont care for the cedar top. I think is this guitar sounds better to my hears. I thought I wanted a mellow tone but actually I want a brighter tone.

[o7levi]

Sounds great I can see you're a JT fan.

[Jonaldinho999]

nice!

[gibsonguitarplayer]

standard tuning, 1/2 step down.

[Edward681]

Im close to getting one of these but i understand its bright and lacks low end. Can you advise?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

It does not sound like a Martin. Much more along the lines of a Taylor.

[odablast]

nice! what strings and picks do you use? love the tone

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Elixir nano lights, Dunlap heavy pick. Thanks.

[zxHenrixz]

I'm getting this for sure, checked the seagull s6 and IMO this sounds much better :)

[Phade21GSX]

Thinking about getting one of these. Are you satisfied with it?

[gibsonguitarplayer]

of course

[Phade21GSX]

Went with a Crafter DV 200. $300 bucks, couldn't pass it up. Great playing man. I'll have to try that guitar out someday.

[reefturkey]

when I bought mine I compared it to guitars costing 4-5 times more and somehow this thing blew them all out of the water with it's rich vibrant sound. Very well built guitar.

[bma473]

Great acoustic session sir. I had this guitar on Oct. 2008. It took me hours to finally make a choice at that time. I made a wise decision. It gets better (sound wise), every passing time.

[knightmire]

hey nice video. whats the name of the song your playing at the very start of the video? do you have the tabs for it? thanks

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Fire and Rain by James Taylor. I learned it by ear and have seen him play it many times.

[noneactive]

Hey sounds awesome! Im definitely going to get this guitar, although it means I will have to save a hundred more euros or so. Id rather get this one and not the 720S, because this one has Rosewood sides and back while 720S has Nato (which I dont really like).

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Elixir Nanowebs mediums, great strings and they last for months.

[kellyburton]

i just ordered on of these last night because of your video, you should ask yamaha for a commission lol.

what strings are you using?

[who8allthepies]

the fg 720 and 730 s are excellent guitars and excellent build quality and sound for the price. they cant be beaten.

[miradassimples]

Hi again!

is true that this model comes in two different ways??: some say Made in China and some Made in Taiwan??

From where is yours??

thanks a lot and sorry for all my inquires

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Mine says China and sounds so rich. You won't go wrong with it.

[miradassimples]

ok! great...thanksss

[miradassimples]

really great!

do you think the yamaha fg730s is the best one for $299 ??...I know there are others in that price too

[gibsonguitarplayer]

YES!!!!! Nothing near it for under a grand. I like it better than my Taylor 314!

[miradassimples]

cool, thanks buddy!

[auntbooboo1964]

I've never played guitar before, but I have decided to try. This video sealed my decision to buy a FG730S. Thank you ever so much!

I don't think I'll ever be able to play like you, but it will be fun to try. :-)

[gibsonguitarplayer]

Sure you will, just takes a little time and practice. This is a great guitar. Your comment made my day!!!!!!

[Phade21GSX]

I think I'm gonna order one, too...You even like it better than your Taylor, huh?

[HotSEXJ]

Great tone and playing, props!

[ValveReactor]

iam totally enjoying your sounds and tunes :-) 5 stars from germany

[jkipcount]

awesome... just when i was getting over my FG730S GAS.  lol.

[comdrop9073]

Sounds Good !
