Members guildfire Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I played a bunch of both Yammies and MBs and have to say the Yammies sound consistently better throughout the range. It's really a toss up, play a bunch and pick what sounds good to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guit30 Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Masterbilt is all solid wood compared to the Yamaha FGs,which are laminate sides and back with a solid top, that makes a big dif Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C70man Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think you would have to get into an L series Yamaha to hear any real significant difference from your Masterbilt. Also, Samilyn's suggestion for a 12 string is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think sometimes we get hung up on brand loyalty/headstock name (Yamaha, MB, Breedlove, etc.) based on our own particular guitar which sounds great to us, and so therefore, others must feel exactly the same, right?. I don't think so. We all have played new guitars at GC or wherever and said, whoa, damn that sounds good, what is it? The Yammie, MB, Breedlove YOU play may be great, but I might prefer the tone of that other one. Regardless of headstock name this OP should try out a bunch and make his own decision.
