Is the sound better than yamaha F310 or F310 better?
I like the sound of acoustic guitar alot but wouldn't want to waste money of the classical guitar is better. I'm begineer though. THe clip is playing G major C major followed by G major. Is the most simply chord i guess haha.

acoustic --> strumming
classical --> plucking/finger

(correct me if im wrong)

get both.. u wont regret it

so many ppl view it but only 1 reply. Any other pro can advise?

I own both so I'll reply lah hehe.

I own a Yamaha C40 classical and an Ibanez PF-60S acoustic

Classicals are mostly for picking. I used to use it for strumming before I bought my acoustic but it's not very suitable. The fretboard very wide so harder to change chords fast. The sound not very 'projecting' also. I just bought D'addario Hard Tension classical strings to try. If you strum classical, should use HT strings (read somewhere, don't sue me ya).

Acoustics can pick and strum. But acoustics don't have a mellow sound like classicals. Unless you use Silk and Steel strings which are a bit hard to find. The fretboard narrower so easier to change chords but steel strings are hard on the fingers at first.

I don't know, very hard to decide if I were in your shoes bro. Just get both haha. Actually on YouTube you can see videos of people playing classical music on acoustics and normally acoustic songs on classical guitars.

An acoustic guitar would be more versatile IMO. If i had to choose to own one id go with the acoustic guitar. Besides, from the sound clip u uploaded, i dont think its any better than the F310,if not worse.

So i would suggest you get an acoustic guitar as well.(im planning to get an f310 myself) =P

get both? thats the best advice imo. planning on getting myself something like a yamaha fg700. good luck

If budget is problem, F310 is okay lah. Personally I've heard better. Lam tops always have this sound. Not open like a solid top. I heard good things about solid top FG700 but the one I played really sucked ass. I guess I was just unlucky.

hmm i'll about that. thanks for the heads up. my takamine classical is ok for strumming but it just lacks the sound only steel strinGs have. btw ts, it also depends on what u want to play.

FG700 <--- it seems like i also 1 of those unlucky tester.. or izzit FG700 just not that good?

haha honestly i dunno, settles myself with YAMAHA CG-30 classical and DESQ55 Aston acoustic xD

im a happy man^^

Er maybe we played the same guitar haha.

I heard that recording. Sound like the guitar out of tune only o.O.

To be honest i don't really know how to tune my guitar lol.
ANyway F310 price went up? Was planning to buy F310 today edy, went to the same shop she offer me Rm400 said price went up jor

Lol, an electronic tuner is very good. No need to fool around with that tuning fork, pitch pipe crap.

Wahlau EH. RM 400??? No free gifts, nothing ar? Mana boleh. If it's Natural colour even worse.

Last I checked in January the price still RM 340- 360 in Yamaha HQ. Where did you go to buy?

For a tuner try a software one. only need a mic and computer. google NCH tuner. its free and good =)

But how to bring with you? . I think sound waves one not as accurate as vibrations on (clip on headstock). My Intelli sometimes go bonkers when there is other noise around.

And can bring the tuner to guitar shops so you don't embarrass yourself playing an out of tune guitar

Seremban. I asked for the price few days ago and she told me RM340. She told me to buy asap if interested coz price gonna go up. Went back 4 days later the price went up swt.

haha it always like that la TS, last time they also say the price will hike up. gud luk in your hunt~!

i believe u might want to test some of others low line of acoustic guitar brand besides YAMAHA. dun just simply follows others opinion, they might be biased. X.X

trust your ears and feelings. try out more guitar/compare them before making ur final decisions ^^

I think some Yamaha owners are biased, hahaha.

Where got like that wan. Must have recognized you and raised price as some sort of 'I told you so'.

Nevermind, not only Yamaha makes good budget instruments (but their quality control is best sekali ). Can try Takamine D-Series and Ibanez V-Series.
